Adam ka noha

دِل دنیا 
روح جنت 
جسم میرا 
اک منت 
جو بن مانگے پوری ہوئی 

ہر سجدہ 
ہر عبادت 
بے یقینی 
سے عبارت 
خلد سے یوں دوری ہوئی 
یہ کہانی ادھوری رہی

شیطان کی 
تھی شرارت 
عمل میرے 
ہوئے غارت 
خلد سے یوں دوری ہوئی 
یہ کہانی ادھوری رہی 

دِل دنیا 
روح جنت 
جسم میرا 
اک منت 
جو بن مانگے پوری ہوئی 

پر کہانی ادھوری رہی

Heaven bound

I was heaven bound

Waiting to be found

Ended up underground

 All I see, is a live stream

of someone else’s wildest dreams

I was heaven bound

Waiting to be found

Ended up underground

All I see, a cosmic tree

And a lumberjack on a chopping spree

Dreams don’t kill you, reality does

If I’m not dreaming, I’m probably dead.

Black & White

At times, I deserve to be punished

But most of the time, I deserve better

I deserve a better life

So I strive and strive

But life is a bitch

It turns around and bites

But it’s ok

I have got a tongue, sharper than the knife.

At times, I deserve to be cherished

But most of the time, my dreams perish

Sometimes I just need to stay out of sight

Should not see the world in black and white

May be, I should embrace the light

I guess I’ll give it a try

This one last mistake,
might put things right!

Deewar

Koe mur gaya aaj meray ander
duub gaya dard ka derya meray ander

taqdeer tou likhi gaye aasmano main
aur yeh zameen bangaee apna muqadder

teri qurbat, azaab thi meray gunahon ki
teri furqat main mera dil bana mandir

thaa madhosh , mager tishna thaa
payas meri na bhuja paya sara samander

Jo thaa maimar-e-mohabbat, usi nay
chun di nafrat ki dewaar meray ander

Regression

We are earthlings, we talk about earth,

We don’t care about the heaven, we don’t know what it’s worth

We are made of sand, crawl on this ancient land,

We don't fancy stars, we just like to read our hands

We are trapped in a tiny grain,

The past, etched into our primitive brains

We don't need to aim high, still busy discovering fire,
You carry on exploring space, we'll vanish without a trace.

Gumaan

Is masroof jahan main

khuda ko bhi koe kaam hai?

Yaa jab se bani hai kainaat

khuda mehw-e-araam hai?

Kya khuda qaadir-ul-kalam hai?

Ager hai tou woh is ghari,

kis say humkalam hai?

Koe uska hum zubaan hai?

Aur ager woh baizubaan hai

Tou wo khuda hai ya gumaan hai?

Khwaab hum saaray udhaar laitay hain

fursat main tujhay bhi pukaar laitay hain

aisee mohabbat ke nahi hum qaa’el

bewafaaon ko hum dil se utaar daitay hain

jo turbat pe meri, parhay fatheha

bad’duain usaay baishumaar daitay hain

aata nahi hamain aansu bahana,

ashk derya se hum mustaar laitay hain

jin ke seenon main dil he nahi

log unhi pe dil apnay haar daitay hain.

I have seen the future and I have left it behind (Black Sabbath)

Sadyon jaisa hur lamha
thair gaye hain arz-o-samaa
hur ek manzar, ek pehailee
hur zarray main ek jahan

Dharkan, dharkan
kun-o-fanaa
hur ek shay main tera nishan
jo tujh se ho ker guzaar gaye
wo jain to phir jayen kahan?

The shadow

All ya crazies

Roses and Daisies

Drop your thorns

and get off your phones

The chill is coming

Go hide your bones

All ya crazies

The shadow from Hades

Awaits you there

To stifle your fears

Scream aloud

So he could hear

Lift your veils

Death never fails

Gonna get y'all

Fresh or stale

All ya crazies

Roses and Daisies

Drop your thorns

and get off your phones

The chill is coming

Go hide your bones

Song lyrics

When we got older,
bolder,
with weight
on our shoulders
we only listened to our mind
we gave up on our hearts


And you knew her
or you thought
you knew her well,
when it was over
you were barely sober
and you let go of her hand

Is this how it was supposed to end? 

When I got older,
bolder,
oh, it’s sad
I should have told her
but I just waited for the sign
I never looked into my heart


And you knew her
or you thought
you knew her well,
when it was over
you were barely sober
and you let go of her hand

Every beginning has an end.

aur salamat raat rahay

Abhi raat baaqi hai

Tum nashilee ankhon se

Meh pilati jao

Abhi saans baaqi hai

Tum mehktee saanso se

Sur paroti jao

Suraj ki jab pheli kiran

Angaar karay jo mera badan

Tum dhaanp diana suraj ko

Apnay reshmi haathon say

Aur rok laina taron ko

Apni sureeli baton say

Meri bas yeh khwahish hai

Is wasl ki thandi chaoon main

Tu chandni kay perday main

yunhi meray paas rahay

Aur salamat raat rahay.

Hajr

Ghazal

Shaam dhaltay ghur se nikalna

Anjan sayon kay sung pighalna

Jo hain tareekyon ke palay
giraan hai unpe mehr-o-maah ka milna

Jaisay chaman main khilte hain phool

Kya ajab hai dilon main aah ka khilna?

Wo hiddat thi pyasay jismon ki shab bhur
raakh jazbon main mushkil hai chaa ka milna

jaa milta hai derya samander se jaisay

hai fitri do pyasi nigahon ka milna

Hajr
