Chaand taang diya...

A Keyrun Rao original, humbly dedicated to Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'Paan Singh Tomar'

Daud kuchh aur hi thi, ek chaand taang diya

Aur teen pyaare taare bhi saja diye tumhne

Khuraak ke oopar hi nazar thi ye humaari

Jaane kaisi dariyaaon ka saahil yun bana diya

Kaun jeetega, hum toh khudse hi daudte hain
Kitna bhaagega, hum bas itna hi poochhte hain

Kisiko jaan pyaari hai, toh kisi ko uski maal

Apni jung toh hum bas akele hi lada karte hain t

Kitne daud jeete, aur kitni jaanein toh haare bhi

Tumne roka hota mujhe, saansein chalti humaari bhi

Bas tere liye na hua toh kya, chhil gaye hain poore

Ummeed hai ke dua qabool ho jaaye humaari bhi

Sheron ki baat aur hai, insaan ki to zimmedaari hai 

Socho chaahe jitna, kar ke dekho jitne bhi jatan

Jeetne ke us pal se toh, aaj main sach kahoon 

Zindagi ke kitne andhere aaj bhi utne hi bhaari hai

Daud kuchh aur hi thi, ek chaand kyon taang diya

Aur teen pyaare taare bhi kyon saja diye tumhne

Rishton ki kadar thi, zindagaani bechaari mein

Daudaate hue, ek aansoo mera aur chhalka diya
