Koshish bhi kyon karein...

A Keyrun Rao Original, dedicated to Anurag Kashyap's Gangs Of Wasseypur!

Ab dum ghut chala hai, koi azaadi hi na rahi,
Lut chalein hain, ab toh milqiyat bhi na rahi,
Parshaad bat chuka hai, ab koi bhi kya kahi?
 Kaise bhi karke kambakhat, zinda bas rahi

Gaali bhi suney, aur prataadna bhi itna sahey,
Aisi duniya mein bataao hum zinda kaise rahey?
Sab kuchh hi galat lagta hai, kisko ye baat kahein
Maut ki baarishon mein, koi sookha kaise rahey?

Pasand hai mujhko, uska woh khaas sharmana
Lubhaata hai mujhe, paas aakar bhi duur jaana
Kahoonga kisi roz usey, ke tu bas bhi kar ab
Rooth kar aise hi bas pal mein yun maan jaana

Laashein dekhi hain, aur khoob saara lahoo bhi
Tujhe jab dekha, toh paaya khud ko tanhaa bhi
Jaanoon kya zindagi hai meri, akele reh ke bhi
Baatein teri saari aaj bhi yaad kyon hai mujhe

Koshish bhi kyon karein, tu hai toh kuchh mera hi
Ghaaanv alag hain toh kya hua, dard hai mera bhi
Phir mil ja mujhse, thodi aur baatein bhi toh kar
Jaane kyun hain saali baatein bhi bas hain utni si

Kal andhera tha, aaj thoda ujaala mujhe dikh gaya
Pyaari teri baaton mein, phir aaj main tanha reh gaya
Baat meri nahin shaayad, ooparwaala bhi sun gaya
Thode se taare aur ek khula sa aasmaan reh gaya
