तसव्वुर तो नहीं, तुम

शायद  बाद - ए - आज़ादी हो , तुम मेरे
दूर ले जाते हो मुझे,सब तलुक्कतों से मेरे
कहीं खूबसूरत तसव्वुर तो नहीं, तुम
जनाब कोई मोजिज़ा मालूम पड़ते हो

तेरी कुरबत में महफूज  महसूस करती हूं मैं
 सकून अब, सिर्फ एक अल्फ़ाज़ नहीं है
कहीं खूबसूरत तसव्वुर तो नहीं, तुम
जनाब कोई मोजिज़ा मालूम पड़ते हो

नज़दीकियों में तेरी आयात सी हो जाती हूं मैं
तेरी मेरी रूह अक्सर बातें किया करती हैं
कहीं खूबसूरत तसव्वुर तो नहीं, तुम
जनाब कोई मोजिज़ा मालूम पड़ते हो

ये रिश्ता एक शराब ए खयाल ,तो नहीं
तुम्हे इतेफाक़ कहूं या इनायत, मैं जानती नहीं
कहीं खूबसूरत तसव्वुर तो नहीं, तुम
जनाब कोई मोजिज़ा मालूम पड़ते हो

NEXT STATION IS

Next station is Past tense
All the doors will open on the left
Kindly stand away from the doors

Agla station bhoot kal hai
Saare darwaaze bai or khulenge
Kripya darrwazon se door hat kar khade ho

I entered the land of past
Full of miseries, sweet pains and aghast
Where I am a carefree bird
Where I am a stereotypical nerd
Where I am so naive and unworldly
Where I lack sense of responsibility
Where I am an over optimistic
Where I am a celebral narcissist

Maine bhoot kal mein kadam rakhe
Jo bhara hai dukhon se
meethi khatti yaadon se
Yahan main ek azaad panchi hun
Yahan main ek padhaaku keeda hun
Yahan main nadaan aur bholi hun
Yahan main gair zimmedar hun
Yahan main hadd aashawadi hun
Yahan main aatmakaami hun


Next station is Present tense
All the doors will open on the left
Don't forget to take your belongings
Kindly stand away from the doors

Agla station vartman kal hai
Saare darwaaze bai or khulenge
Apna samaan le Jaana na bhule
Kripya darrwazon se door hat kar khade ho


Now I am in present tense
Where I have got concave lens
I have become forgiving
I have started living
In the world of false realities
In the world of real animosities
In the world of sacrifices
In the world of compromises


Ab main vartman kaal aa pahunchi hun
Jahan main ek doordarshi hun
Jahan main logon Ko maaf Karti hun
Jahan main jaankar bhi Anjaan ban jaati hun
Jahan main bair, dwesh se ghiri Rehti hun
Jahan main apni ichhaon ki kurbani deti hun
Jahan main main samjhauta bhi kar leti hun


Next station is Future tense
All the doors will open on the left
Kindly stand away from the doors

Agla station bhavishye kal hai
Saare darwaaze bai or khulenge
Kripya darrwazon se hat kar khade ho


Now I entered future tense
Here I have many fans
Here I am a responsible person
Here I am again having fun
Here I am more tolerant
Here I am not adamant
Here I am in harmony
Here I am inline with destiny

 Main aa pahuchi hun bhavishye kaal
 Yahan chahanewaalon ne Kiya Bura haal
 Yahan main zimmedar hun
 Yahan main dobara zindagi khul kar Jeeti hun
 Yahan main bahut kuch Bardast kar leti hun
 Yahan main bilkul Ziddi nai hun
 Yahan main sakoon mein hun
 Yahan main niyati ke saath hun

Thank you for traveling with me
Mere saath Safar karne ke liye dhanyawad

BECAUSE HE IS THERE

I used to live in cloud cuckoo land

Where there was no alarm clock

Where my father told me a plan

To tell the pillow when to wake up

 I got up at the set time to my shock 

I believe in dreams and fantasy

Because he is there

I believe in making impossible, possible 

Because he is there

I believe humanity is the biggest religion 

Because he is there

I entered the world of reality 

Where I started to walk and fall

Where I looked up to my daddy

Do you think he lend me his hand??

No no not at all

He clapped for me when I stood tall

I believe in dreams and fantasy

Because he is there

I believe in making impossible, possible 

Because he is there

I believe humanity is the biggest religion 

Because he is there

He gave me the liberty to choose

I failed many a times but learnt at last

He expressed and told me his views

On how failures will make me robust

He taught me the art of patience

He taught me to remain grounded

He told me the gravity of acceptance

I am a strong headed girl he has molded

I believe in dreams and fantasy

Because he is there

I believe in making impossible, possible 

Because he is there

I believe humanity is the biggest religion 

Because he is there

He doesn’t like me applying nail paint

He is afraid I will stop believing in my beauty

He is a father of three but he is a saint

His idea of living is very easy Peasy

He lives to the fullest and let others live 

He is the best human being I have met

For me he has all the time to give

Though his schedule is fixed and set

I believe in dreams and fantasy

Because he is there

I believe in making impossible, possible 

Because he is there

I believe humanity is the biggest religion 

Because he is there

He thinks he has made me independent 

But honestly I would need him every time 

I need him the most when I become intolerant

Intolerant towards inhumanity and dictative regime

I need him at the bank where I become impatient 

I need him at all the places where I have to stand in ques

He tried to keep me away from all the difficult constraints

 I need him when I am bitten by emotions and need his clues

I believe in dreams and fantasy

Because he is there

I believe in making impossible, possible 

Because he is there

I believe humanity is the biggest religion 

Because he is there

His hobby is to tease me a hell lot

Sometimes I pretend to get annoyed

To see his smile which is so soft

He is the highest form of love filling my void

When I got married I took a promise 

From him to not cry in front of me

He waved at me with a smile which is a bliss

He is the man of his words, truly

I believe in dreams and fantasy

Because he is there

I believe in making impossible, possible 

Because he is there

I believe humanity is the biggest religion 

Because he is there
