tanhaa — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:56:31 +0000

A Ghazal that touches your heart everytime you read it by Irfan Abid. You can read more poetry by Abid Sahib, posted all over the web. I haven’t talked to him in a while, but I have always wanted to archive this Ghazal somewhere.. and what better place to put it than my own blog.

“maaN”

qudrat ne jab hamaarii hastii ka biij Daalaa
tab kokh mein tirii hii nau maah ham ko paalaa

phir is jahaaN meN ham ne jab aaNkh apnii kholii
nazroN meN teraa ruKh thaa, kaanoN meN terii bolii

ho goad kii vo narmii yaa haath kii ho shafqat
har pal rahii nichhaavar ham par tirii muhabbat

tuu ne sukuuN ganvaayaa, raatoN kii niind khoii
hone na dii kabhii bhii takliif ham ko koii

terii hii ungliyoN ko pakRaa to chal sake ham
mamtaa ko terii ham ne paayaa to pal sake ham

dunyaa kaa ilm siikhaa, paayaa sha.uur-e-mazhab
donoN jahaaN ke laayaq tere baGhair the kab

piichhe jo dekhte haiN, har samt tuu khaRii hai
ahsaanmand terii, har saans, har ghaRii hai

ik chiiKh par hamaarii fauran vo teraa aanaa
phir sar pe haath rakhnaa, ham ko gale lagaanaa

raatoN ko imtihaaN kii teraa vo saath jagnaa
himmat baRhaate rahnaa, sau sau duaayeN paRhnaa

mamtaa meN terii Duube taazaa vo garm khaane
gaajar ka garm halvaa, bhuTTe ke narm daane

sardii ke vo paraaThe, vo garmiyoN kii lassii
kuchh Khaas hii khilaayaa, mausam ho vo koii bhii

apnii zaruuratoN ko baalaa-e-taaq rakkhaa
ham ko diyaa hai tuu ne, jo kuchh bhi ham ne maaNgaa

KhushiyaaN mileeN jo ham ko, tujh saa na Khush thaa koii
kuchh dard ham ne paayaa, to saath tuu bhii roii

tujh se banii hamaarii aasaan zindagaanii
tuu to judaa hai sab se, teraa nahiiN hai saanii

har har qadam pe tuu ne kitne karam kiye haiN!
jo kuchh haiN aaj, terii mehnat se ham bane haiN

teraa kiyaa kisii ne ab tak kiyaa na hogaa
thoRaa bhii qarz teraa ham se adaa na hogaa

karte haiN terii izzat, tujh se hai pyaar, ai maaN!
qadmoN meN tere apnii hai jaaN nisaar, ai maaN!

maaN! behtariin hai tuu in.aam aasmaaN kaa
yaa rab! rahe salaamat saayaa hamaarii maaN kaa!

Tera Nasha – The Bilz & Kashif

tanhaa — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 18:45:23 +0000

In October, 2010, the Bilz & Kashif released a video for the song “Tera Nasha” from their latest album “Breaking Barriers” available on iTunes. The songs lyrics (the Hindi part) written by me is presented here in this post. The English parts were written by Kashif himself and they are included here as well. Enjoy the video and the lyrics:

VERSE 1
Raat javaan mast samaan -
Aise mein honthon se honth mila
Jism tera aur ye adaa
Saansein sulagtii hain hosh kahaan
Meri baahon mein aao zaraa
Meri dhaRkan mein samaao zaraa
Meri ulfat mein bikhar jaao
Jalne do, bahakne do

CHORUS
Sun ye machalti raagini
Jaise teri adaa
Jazbaat ki ye mastiyaan
Teraa hi hai nashaa
Let me love u down, down, down
All night long, long, long
I wanna turn u on, on, on
ChaRhne do ye nasha

VERSE 2
From your lips 2 your hips 2 your fingertips
I wanna kiss your body all over
From the goosebumps on your skin
Baby U don’t have 2 say a word
Use your imagination
Kashif’s on a mission
2 give u everything that your body’s been missing
I can’t wait no more, I’m gonna explode
I’m waiting, Anticipating, Tonight it’s goin’ down

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Tujhe baahon mein bhar kar pyaar doun
The more I get the more I want
Tere pahloo men raat guzaar loun
I’m drowning in your love
Meri jaan merii wafa

CHORUS

Sun ye machalti raagini, Let me love u Down
Jaise teri adaa, Let me love u Down
Jazbaat ki ye mastiyaan

Kabhi haan kabhi na – The Bilz & Kashif

tanhaa — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 18:40:34 +0000

The Bilz & Kashif recently released the video for Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na, another song for which the hindi lyrics were written by yours truly. The English lyrics, as usual, are written by Kashif himself. Enjoy the video along with the lyrics:

Lyrics

VERSE 1
Kabhi haan kabhi na karti hai Bol zara ye chakkar kyaa hai
Itna confusion tujhme aakhir kisliye bhara hai
Vaade mujhse jo kiye the bhool gayii hai unko kyaa tu
Main job hi houn so houn par kaun hai tu aur hai bhi kyaa tu
Ye bechaini ye aahein kiske liye bharti hai
Aanaa hai aaja varna jaa re jaa re tu
Teri rangat mein ye jaadoo meri ulfat ne diya hai
Aana hai aajaa varnaa jaa re jaa re tu

CHORUS
She said I don’t know what I want, I want
But I knew what she really meant is I don’t wanna be with U
So Baby U can get gone, get gone
There’s no question
I’ll be happy 2 move on cause i’m thru with U

VERSE 2
Koi love song sunaaoun aisaa bechaaraa bhi nahiin houn
Pairon pe main gir jaaoun gham ka main maara bhi nahin houn
Qeemat meri kyaa hai gar samajh sake to samajh bhi le tu
Main jo bhi houn so houn par kaun hai tu aur hai bhi kyaa tu
Ye bechaini ye aahein kiske liye bharti hai
Aanaa hai aaja varna jaa re jaa re tu
Teri rangat mein ye jaadoo meri ulfat ne diya hai
Aana hai aajaa varnaa jaa re jaa re tu

CHORUS

You’re gonna get what U deserve
A lesson will be learned
There’s no running from karma
Mera jaisa kohi nahin, Ain’t nobody, ain’t nobody
You’re gonna get what U deserve
A lesson will be learned
There’s no running from karma
Mera jaisa kohi nahin, ain’t nobody, ain’t nobody

Bilzmusic — Breaking Barriers — Suno

tanhaa — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:50:55 +0000

Here are the lyrics from the song Suno, sung by MasterD of Bilzmusic, part of their album Breaking Barriers (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/breaking-barriers/id364930732) also written by me.

Suno

suno kahtii hai kyaa, bheegii hawaa, zara sun to lo sanam

saahiloN pe haiN nazaare ye haseeN…naachne lagin hain maujein bhi
baadaloN se baadalon ka milan… ye ishaare dekho samjho bhii

suno uRti ghaTaa, kahtii hai kyaa, zaraa sun to lo sanam

bridge –
ghaneri zulfeiN, damakte aariz, ishq ki tum jannat jaan-e-jaaN
gulaab aaNkheiN, shigufta chehra, meri ho tum mannat jaan-e-jaaN
deevanagii meri tumse javaaN
dhaRkan meri hai tumhaari sadaa
aaaaa…..
beKhudii meiN hamse koi Khataa, ho gayii.. chalo ab chhoRo bhi
is tarah se rah ke Khaamosh tum, kab talak mujhe taRpaaogii
suno dil ki zubaaN, jaltii hui, hai pyaar ki sargarm
suno mausam kaa, chaRtaa nashaa, zaraa sun to lo sanam

Bilzmusic — Breaking Barriers – tanhai

tanhaa — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:49:14 +0000

Now that Bilzmusic have released their album “Breaking Barriers” {link to itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/breaking-barriers/id364930732} I figured I’d post some of the lyrics of the songs that I have written

Here’s one:

Tanhaii

haaye sulagati tanhaai
betaabiyaaN javaaN
afsurda afsurda aaNkheiN
DhooNDheiN tere nishaaN

meri muhabbat, meri ibaadat meri vafaa
zaKhm bane dil ke armaaN
raNg yahaaN baste the
ab hai dhuaaN dhuaaN

saaz hai bikhraa dard se bhaari geet mere
lafz mere hairaaN hairaaN
KhushiyoN ki vo bahaareiN
jaane gayiiN kahaaN

Nazm uljhi hui hai seene meiN – Gulzaar

tanhaa — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 20:25:18 +0000

A beautiful beautiful beautiful Nazm (3 times — love the emphasis no?)
And so beautifully sung by Bhupinder in this video:

nazm uljhi hui hai seene meiN
misre aTke hue haiN hoNToN par
uRte phirte haiN titliyoN ki tarah
lafz kaaGhaz pe baiTh_te hi nahiiN

kab se baiTha hua houN maiN jaanam
saada kaaGhaz pe likh ke naam tera
bas tira naam hi mukammil hai
is se behtar bhi nazm bhi kyaa hogi!

Heer-Ranjha — The BILZ & Kashif

tanhaa — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:35:43 +0000

The BILZ & Kashif have come out with two new tracks recently, one of which was written by me (the Punjabi Lyrics that is), so ideal to post the song here and .. voila:

You can go ahead and buy the tune on iTunes, in fact get on it right now and buy it! Oh and look out for more songs written by yours truly for The BILZ & Kashif… their next album “Breaking Barriers” is rocking!

Here are the punjabi lyrics for the song including Kashif’s parts (written in English by Kashif)

tu hai meri heer tera ranjha maiN deewaana
roke saanu koi vi roke, tenu chak lai jaanaa
roke saanu koi vi roke, tenu chak lai jaanaa

mitro o mitro vekho vekho kuRi diwaani
kinna mainu taRpaaNdi kinna mainu satauNdi
soni hai phabbat oNdi akhaaN vi maTkaundi
turdi o geet hai lagdi nachdi oNdi jawaani

She wanna bump & grind
On the dancefloor
But the girl is not mine
Did she come here alone
She pushed that dutty wine
Her body’s turning me on
She whispered in my ear, dont’ be shy
I’m craving for more

tu hai meri heer tera ranjha maiN deewana
roke saanu koi vi roke tenu chak lai jaanaa
roke saanu koi vi roke tenu chak lai jaanaa

Rock your bumper, jiggle your bumper, shake your bumper
tenu chak lai jaanaa

sajno o sajno vekho vekho kuRi diwani
haNsdi jad khil khil rabba dil nu mere sataundi
nachdi jad naal mere ishq di chaldi aaNdhi
mitro o mitro vekho mere dil di raani!

Was it a dream, a fantasy or reality?
Was this happening for real?
She said she had a man, but she really didn’t give a damn
She couldn’t wait to leave with me
Hopped in the taxi, back 2 her place in the jacuzzi
She showed me a pic of her main squeeze
2 my surprise, it was Master D

No yeaaaaaaa

tu hai meri heer tera ranjha maiN diwaana
roke saanu koi vi roke tenu chak lai jaanaa
roke saanu koi vi roke tenu chak lai jaanaa

Here are some couplets I read today by Riaz Khairabadi

zaahid sharaab peene de, masjid meiN baiTh kar

Khuda ke haath hai bikna na bikna ma_e kaa ab saaqi
baraabar masjid-e-jaame’ ke ab rakh di dukaaN maiN ne

Hasrat Mohani:

nahiiN aati to yaad unki maheenoN bhar nahiiN aati
magar jab yaad aate haiN to aksar yaad aate haiN

There’s this feeling, that one can get, every now and then, of something nagging. It doesn’t necessarily have to do with anything.. anything in particular, but something.. perhaps, someone, perhaps not. I think in this new nazm, I tried to capture it, though I might have failed miserably, but heck, it ended up being a nazm anyway… so here it is:

gumaaN
———

maiN saRak ke isi kone pe khaRaa rahtaa houN
ek besood tamanna meiN ghiraa rahtaa houN
maiN ne har aas ka har deep bujhaa rakkhaa hai
dil kii aavaaz ko dil hi meiN dabaa rakkhaa hai

mere atraaf ajab bheeR hai logoN ki magar
koii bhi aaNkh uThaataa nahiiN meri jaanib
aur idhar maiN bhi kisii fikr meiN khoyaa, gumsum
Khud ko is gardish-e-duniyaa se alag rakhtaa houN
ek besood tamannaa meiN ghiraa rahtaa houN

aaKhir is dard ka koii to sabab hogaa hi
meraa maazi?
mire afkaar?
miri bazm-e-hayaat?
sochtaa to houN magar soch nahiiN paataa houN

maiN saRak ke isii kone pe khaRaa rahtaa houN
maiN ne Khud se bhi koii baat chhupaa rakkhii hai
aur ummeed ki har shammaa bujhaa rakkhii hai
dil ko phir bhi ye gumaaN hai k koii aayegaa….

Some ash’aar by Munawwar Rana

siyaasi aadmi ki shakl to pyaari nikaltii hai
magar jab guftagoo karta hai chingaari nikaltii hai

laboN par muskuraahaT dil meiN bezaari nikalti hai
baRe logoN meiN hi aksar ye beemaari nikalti hai

——
balandi der tak kis shaKhs ke hisse meiN rahtii hai
bahut uuNchii imaarat har ghaRi Khatre meiN rahtii hai

bahut jee chaahtaa hai qaid-e-jaaN se ham nikal jaayeiN
tumhaari yaad bhii lekin isi malbe meiN rahtii hai

ye aisaa qarz hai jo maiN adaa kar hi nahiiN saktaa
maiN jab tak ghar na lauTooN meri maaN sajde meiN rahtii hai
