Life in words

Yeh shamma bhuja do
Subah ko jaga do
Inn kirnon kee chawn mein
Khud ko bhula do

Ik pal aisa jo thama sa lage
Ik pal aisa jo thamey na thamey
Inn palon kee udhed bun mein
Na jane kitne pal ret se khisak gaye
Mein mutthi band kiye khush thi
Dekha to zindagi kahin duur nikal chuki thi
Ret ke tinkon se bani woh rah
Na jane kitni lambi ho chuki thi
Kab shuru hua tha yeh safar
Na jane kitna chalega
Thamey hue Palon mein
Waqt guzarta chale
Mein mutthi dabaye bethi rahi
Manzil jane hai bhi ya nahin

Zindagi mein itna kuch hoga

Socha na tha

Sochti kaise

Tab zindagi hee na thi

Pal, din, mahine, saal karke

Zindagi chalti gayi

Aansoon, khushi aur kabhi khushi ke aansoon

Maine sochna shuru kiya

Tab tak zindagi aur aage nikal gayi.

Here is the translation - which i loved even more than the hindi version…


Life will have so much

I never knew

How would I have known

I didn’t have life then

Moment, day, month, year

Life went on and on

Tears, happiness and tears of happiness

I started wondering

And life moved on by then

Train went on…
Distances covered…
Destinations reached…
People came
People left
I kept waiting for my destination
And then I heard the announcement
“This is the final destination, please get down here.”

But my destination was not there

I got down and took another train
Train went on…
Distances covered…
Destinations reached…
And I kept moving on along with it
In search of
A destination.
And the journey is still going on…

Strange world
Even stranger is the tale

And then mind thought
‘m also
a part of this game

I am my world
I am my own strange world

Face smiled
Heart accepted

And here in this heart
Resides my world

This heart made the tale
The Tale with smiles
The Tale with tears
The Tale which goes on
The Tale which is coaxing us all
And this is the Tale …
making this world…

Now will not stay
So do sit and pray
Now is to cherish
Soon Now will be Garish

Now and then
If not now then when
make up your mind
Now must you unwind

Now if you say
It’s not a delay
You will still be in time
To smile and to chime

Now is not forever
Behold that truth
Behold that lover
Soon Now will be over

He is always good and He is never bad
He does what he should and makes everyone glad
He never screams and never fights
He looks after us night after night

He is the guiding light
and shows the path which is right
He holds the hands
and always understands

Without him i would never be what i am today
he gave a strong foundation
which no one can take away

He is always there to listen and share
with his utmost warmth and care
He brings so much pleasure
and that i will always treasure

Today i admire and everything is clear
Those sentiments fill me each day of the year
And Today my dear dad i want you to know
your values and lessons will continue to grow.

I chose to pen down all this
because i wanted you to know
I am happy with your efforts
in helping me grow
for your never complaining nature
and for always being there
to tell me i deserve it
to show me you care
for that ever smiling face
and turning everything fun
so i can be happy
and make those sorrows run

I also want to tell you
I do get angry always
and say a lot that hurts
but do not mean that serious
as its just an anger spurt

I want to tell you lot more
i also want to listen
I want to be there always
and also want you to be there

MAYBE i will say it all
MAYBE i will hold you
And someday i will stand by you
And not let you ever fall

This MAYBE keeps life moving
and gives us that hope
someday we will do it all
without the need of proving
