siskiyan

These lines came when i was in bangalore for the first time in mid 2005, and things were down at that moment and i was struggling hard to come out of it....


ab hum jeete hai, siskiyon ke aagosh me.
jab se aayen hai tere aashiyane me..

ab na aati hai, sadayen hamein khuddari ki
chhod aayein hai khudi ko maikhaane me..

jeena muskil hai yaha, marna to hai naamunkin
raat bhar jaagte hai hum isi pashopesh me..

har simt raho khus tum aye mere rakeeb
hamko to bus jeene do, isi bekaraari me..

kabhi ji chaahe, aaj tod doon saare bandhan
bas kasmasaa ke rah jaate hai, isi bekari me..

sochata hoon kabhi hoga, vo khoobsoorat aashiya apna
bus jiye jaa rahe hai, isi umeed-e-gari me..
