CineMaa kasam… fully filmi

A new poem inspired by the 'Fillum' song in Shamitabh

Kuchh pal andhera sa tha shuruaat mein,

Koi akela aaya tha, kuchh kisi ke saath mein

Phir ek nayi kahaani shuru ho gayi parde par

Badi taaliyon aur seetiyon ke bauchaar mein 

Har hafte koi ek nayi kahaani, kisi ki bayaani 

Chaahe bachpan ho ya khilti hui aapki jawaani

Jaan chhidakte hain hum, Dil lagaate hain hum

Zindagi ho jaati hai awesome… CineMaa kasam

Koi actor ho ya star, ya phir ho koi superstar,

Sukh-dukh ke hain saathi ye apne kalakaar,

Unki banaayi duniya mein hum sab khush hain 

Ghar ke paas theater hai, why do we go too far?

Andhere se roshni ke beech apni ye zindagi hai

Chaahe jaisi bhi hai, kyon lagta hai ki sahi hai

Jaan chhidakte hain hum, Dil lagaate hain hum

Zindagi ho jaati hai awesome… CineMaa kasam

Har ek kahaani kisi na kisi ko toh touch kar jaati hai,

Kisi se bore ho jaate hain, kuchh achchi lag jaati hain,

Jaane-anjaane hum kuchh waqt saath bitaate hain

Kabhi kabhi anjaani dagar mein khud se mil jaate hain

Kahaani jaane kiski hai, aur kehne waala kaun hai,

Bol jaane kisne likha tha, aur gaane waala kaun hai 

Jaan chhidakte hain hum, Dil bhi lagaate hain hum

Zindagi ho jaati hai awesome… CineMaa kasam

दिल वालों की सोहबत

A Keyrun Rao original

बड़े अच्छे लोग होते हैं दिल वाले
उन के पास सब अच्छा नहीं होता
 बुराइयों से भरी खुदा की दुनिया में
दिल वालों से अच्छा कोई नहीं होता

बड़ी बुरी है दिल वालों की सोहबत
बच के ही रहना इन जैसों से तुम
दिमाग़ वाले बड़े भले हैं दुनिया में
मेरी ये एक छोटी बात मान लो तुम

सारे रिश्तों का पूरा हिसाब रखना
किसी से कभी कोई सच मत कहना
अपनी दौलत से बातें करना खूब
बस दिल वालों की सोहबत से बचना

बड़ी बुरी है दिल वालों की सोहबत
दर्द इतना सारा है, खुशी ज़रा सी
खुशी के लम्हे तो बहुत कम ही हैं
और पाओगे दुनिया भर की उदासी

अपने दिल से मत सोचना कभी भी
उसके लिए तो दिमाग़ काम आता है
तुम सब के बस की बात नहीं है ये
सोच के भी रूह को पसीना आता है

तुम खेलो सारे खेल बस दिमाग़ वालों से

दिल वालों को रहने दो उनके हाल पे 

शायद कोई सज़ा काट रहे हैं वो अपनी 

कोई जवाब ही नहीं उनके किसी सवाल पे 

बड़ी बुरी है दिल वालों की सोहबत

इनसे तो बच के रहना ही आसान है 

बहुत होशियार बन गये हो तुम अब

तुम्हारे अंदर भी अब एक शैतान है

Saaya kisika...

A Keyrun Rao original

Ajnabi sa ek saaya kisi ka
Aaj toot kar gira mujh par
Bada pyaara sa tha toh
Jaane rootha tha kis par

Beeti saari yaadein liye
Jala tha kyon mujh par
Jab bujhi saari yaadein
Ro pada woh mujh par

Roya kuchh main bhi tha
Thodi royi thi woh bhi
Aankhein sooji hui thi
Dard bhi gehra sa toh tha

Us rishte ka saaya tha purana
Zakhm gehra sa tha woh
Aur hans raha tha zamaana
Mushkil tha us yaad ko bhulana

Ajnabi sa ek saaya kisi ka
Aaj toot kar gira mujh par

Kahaani puraani ho chali hai

Chalna hai phir wahi dagar par

Ek rishta dhuan ho gaya toh kya
Naye rishte ki bhi apni jalan hai

Bikhar gaye hum tab toh kya

Ab humein na koi bhi darr hai!

Duniya badal gayi saali

A Keyrun Rao original

Waqt toh aata hai sabhi ka
Aansoo rehte nahin sab din
Muskaan kab tak rehti duur
Khil gaya main bhi aaj ke din

Raet mein neele paani ke jaise
Dikhi tum mujh ko raah mein
Ab bheeg gaya ishq mein tere
Samandar hai tere pyaar mein

Meri duniya badal gayi saali
Andhere mein ho gayi Diwali
Pataakhe phoote mere dil mein
Meri dhadkanein ab bajaaye taali

Chaand mein kyon suraj dikhta hai
Mere sher bhi ab kya tu likhta hai
Teri tareefon ke liye lafz banata hoon
Kyon mujh par ek tu hi chhayi si hai

Har jagah mujhe phool dikhte hain
Manzilein tujh pe aakar rukti hain
Teri raah ka banjaara ban gaya hoon
Itni mohabbat tujhse mujhko kyon hai

Meri toh duniya badal gayi saali
Andhere mein bhi ho gayi Diwali
Mujhe ab bas ek teri hi talab hai
Tera ghoont miley mujhe ek pyaali

Kaisa yeh ujaala sa rehta hai...

A Keyrun Rao original

Bataa kya kahoon tujhe main
Meri likhi ghazal ya koi fasana
Tujhe samajhne laga hoon ab
Pyaar ka yeh lagta hai bahana

Kaisa yeh ujaala sa rehta hai
Jabse tu mujhe apna kehta hai
Tu ab jo bhi mujhe kehta hai
Sab kuchh sachcha hi lagta hai

Koi ek khwaab sach hua ho jaise
Jaane kisi ki dua lagi hai mujh ko
Samaa ja mujh mein tu kuchh aise
Jaise ke ye jahaan mila ho mujh ko

Kaisa yeh ujaala sa rehta hai
Jabse tu mujhe apna kehta hai

Tera hone laga hoon ab main

Ek meetha sukoon sa rehta hai

Dhadkan mein aaj naya taal hai

Kadmon bhi ab uchhaal hai

Har din aankhon mein aansoo they

Badey waqt mein aaya ye saal hai

Kaisa yeh ujaala sa rehta hai
Jabse tu mujhe apna kehta hai

Teri hi panaahon mein mujh ko

Har sawaal ka jawaab dikhta hai

Hawaon ka rukh jaise badal gaya

Aaj lagta hai ke sab hi tham gaya

Is rukey hue pal mein keh doon ye

Tu mili mujhe sab kuchh mil gaya

Khayaali pulaao

A Keyrun Rao original

Dost jab khilaunon se khelte they,
Main khayaalon se kushti khelta
Kabhi main jeet.ta kabhi meri soch
Main hamesha yun tanha tehelta

Kabhi bol nahin paaya zyaada,
Kisi ki suni bhi nahin jaati thi
Sar ke andar ke shor se mere
Baatein bas dab ke reh jaati thi

Kuchh bade hue, to likhne lage
Meri soch syaahi mein ghul ke
Meri awaaz ki laathi ban ke
Alfaaz ban kar ab utarne lage

Akela hi rehta hoon, soch mein
Naye kirdaaron ki talaash mein
Kabhi beer mein, ya rum mein
Ek anjaan se kisi ke gham mein

Mere dost ab paise kamaate hain
Main khayaali pulao pakata hoon
Kahaniyaan, geet aur kuchh kisse
Isi mein apna ab waqt bitaata hoon

(Written for Sneha Khanwalkar)

Afsos ki baat hai yeh...

A Keyrun Rao Original...

Izzatein lut jaati hain, kiraane ki dukaan par
Kisiko toh aaj hi udhaar waapas chaahiye,
Koi hai taiyaar, ghar aakar wasool karne ko
Koi rok leta hai humein jhopdi ki hi raah par

Afsos ki baat hai yeh, ke aaj bhi zinda hain
Kab ke marr chuke they, dafan ho gaye they
Galti jaane kya hui humse, koi toh bata do ab
Hum toh aaj bhi bas utne hi sharminda hain

Ek kahaani thi humaare paas, kaise bhi keh dete
Kuchh aansoo bahaate, thoda sa hum seh bhi lete
Kabhi toh tum pari thi, aaj baat kuchh badli hui hai
Thodi khushiyaan tumse paate, gham bhi aaj seh lete

Afsos ki baat hai yeh...ke tum khush ho jaane kahin
Hum tumko dhoondh rahe hain aaj bhi yahin kahin
Tumne toh khuda paa liya, hum aaj bhi khojte hain
Aasmaan tak jaayein, ya phir khod le banjar zameen

Ek sher tum padho, ek main bhi suna hi deta hoon
Akele hain hum, khabar yeh toh hai mujhko bhi
Thoda tum ji lo, apni yeh raahein aaj suljha bhi lo
Ek baar yun milo mujhse, karo jo main chahoon


Afsos ki baat hai yeh...ke hum aaj bhi lagey paraaye
Dhadakte toh sang hain, par duur hi hain yeh saaye
Kuchh kadam ab tum chalo, aur kuchh hum badhein
Kaise bhi padh lo isey, humein saath mein kaun laaye

Guwahati...

A Keyrun Rao Original

Ghinn aati hai, khud se
aur is desh se bhi aaj to,
Sab ki toh lut gayi izzat,
Kaise chalein shaan se?

Main jaanta nahin usey,
Kabhi dekha bhi nahin
Us dard ko jaana maine
Humaari hai, koi aur nahin

Jaanwar ho chale hain ab
Bas bhook-pyaas rehti hai
Rooh ko dakaar jaayein ab
Insaaniyat udaas rehti hai


Ghinn aati hai, khud se
aur is desh se bhi aaj to,
Yehi reh gaya hai kyon
koi to aaj hi jawaab do 


Haddi-boti ke is hod mein
Kahin toh ek maseeha ho
Koi usool ya koi kanoon ho
Kaise rahoon jallaadon mein

Rooh bik chuki hai is kadar
Khwaabon ke hisaab dete hain
Mushkil si dikhti hai ye dagar
Kain kos hum aaj bhi chalte hain


Ghinn aati hai, khud se
aur is desh se bhi aaj to,
Radha ki kya kahoon aaj
Meera se sabki phati hai

Kab tak chamkega taara...

A Keyrun Rao original, dedicated to Rajesh Khanna saahab. May his soul rest in peace.

Kabhi socha hai yeh ke do suraj aur chaand hote agar
Kiski chamak ko maante, kiski keemat hum pehchaante
Taare bahut dikhte hain, sabse chamkeela suraj hai magar
Ek aur hota samjho, uski kadar kya kabhi bhi tum jaante?

Suraj ne pata nahin kitne taaron ko kya jaane maara hoga
Chalaak tha woh, roshni ki hi toh baat thi unke beech mein
Suraj aur sitaaron mein duuriyaan utni bhi toh nahin thi na
Taaron ka darr suraj ke dil mein bhi kahin tab raha toh hoga

Bahut din jalaa suraj, par raat ko toh chamakta taara hi tha
Samajh nahin paaya bechaara, jalta raha din-ba-din woh
Andhere ke baad ka baadshah woh chaah kar hai nahin
Bujh jaane ke baad riyasat jalte hue chaand taaron ka tha

Bada guroor tha suraj ko, ke chaand ki bhi wo jagah le lega
Itna chamkega, ke din aur raat par akele hi woh raaj karega
Nadaan tha, samajh nahin paaya ke, tim-timaate taaron ki
Baadalon mein jagah woh akela hi kaise yun bhar sakega


Kabhi socha hai yeh ke do suraj aur chaand hote agar
Kiski chamak ko maante, kiski keemat hum pehchaante
Kaka ek akele hi they, aur hamesha ke liye woh rahengey
Bina unki muskaan ke, kuchh meel hum chal bhi lenge...

Dagar andheri hogi, chamak jaane kahaan chhupi hogi
Woh adaa woh muskaan saath na bhi rahi toh bolo kya
Chalenge hum bhi, rukenge nahin, chaahe jo bhi baat ho
Unke jaise thaay haalaat, kya ab humaari bhi aisi hi hogi?

Kameez poori geeli hai...

A Keyrun Rao Original

Aaj toh kameez poori geeli hai
Aur aankhein bhi zaraa nam hain
Tujh se juda ho kar phir kyon
Aaj kuchh aisa ajab aalam hai

Ek baar royi thi meri kameez par
Aaj wahaan gehhra ek zakham hai
Saath chale hum, kya thi wo dagar
Ab wahaan main aur ye tanhaayi hai

Kameez dhul gayi, daag bhi mit gaye
Tere saaye ke nishaan, kaise reh gaye
Rooh yeh humaari tarasti rahi aaj bhi
Hum ek ganda mazaak banke reh gaye


Aaj toh kameez bhi poori geeli hai
Aur aankhein bhi zaraa nam hain
Lahoo bahaa jahaan zakhm kam hai
Tere bin aaj bhi adhoore hum hain

Poore nahin hue, sab adhoora hi lagey
Jab dekha hum aaj phir hum akele jagey
Kuchh duaein, thodi meethi baatein suni
Ab kaun hain paraaye, aur kaun sagey?

Bheeg kar aaj bada hi mujhe achchaa laga,    
Jaise phir sadiyon ki neend ke baad jagaa
Duur hai bahut mujhse aaj kahin tu kahin
Phir kyon mujhe dhadkan ke kareeb laga?

Aaj toh kameez bhi poori geeli hai
Aur aankhein bhi zaraa nam hain
Neend kam aur khwaab zyaada hain
Chal rahi saansein aur ye dhadkan hai...

Bheed badh gayi hai...

A Keyrun Rao Original

Kuchh aur hi tha yeh shehar, log kam aur khwab zyaada
Waqt badal gaya, aur pakka hi ho chala sab ka iraada
Koi jism bechta hai, kuchh ki toh rooh girwi hai yahaan
Samajh nahin aata ab, kaun baadshah hai kaun piyaada

Bheed badh gayi hai yahaan, koi khaali jagah hai kahaan?
Kisine mandir banaaya, koi masjid peechhe chhod gaya
Us se milne ke raaste itne, phir bhi bahut waqt lag gaya
Saaye nahin dikhte hain aaj-kal, kya ho raha hai yahaan?

Dost mil jaate hain aksar, khud toh kahin kho chuke hain
Is shor mein sach kahein toh, hum behre hi ho chale hain
Pata nahin kab suney apni dhadkan, usey mehsoos kiya ho
Badi si is bheed mein, ab hum bhi shaamil ho chale hain

Kuchh khwaab le kar aaye, kuchley dekhey apne hi saaye
Aansoo nikal to rahe magar, ponchhne ka waqt kaise laaye
Kuchh rishte ban bhi gaye, phir kyon jald hi hue paraaye
Jo samjha hai is dard ko, aaj bas wo hi humein samjhaaye


Bheed badh gayi hai yahaan, koi khaali jagah hai kahaan?
Kisine dukaan lagaayi, kuchh logon ne bhookh mitaayi
Bade-badon ne rutba kamaaya, kuchh ne pyaas bujhaayi
Jee lete hain baaqi sab, kuchh ajeeb sa hi hai apna jahaan

Waqt nahin hai kisi ke paas, na hai ishq ka koi bhi jazba
Jeene-marne ki dhun mein, laga hua hai apna yeh kasba
Ab apne saayon pe mat chalo, kisi ko yun bhi na kuchlo
Aane waali nasl ko chalo dein koi naya achcha sa tajurba

Woh zameen aur thi

A humble dedication from Keyrun Rao to His God...

Chaand jam ke chamka tha, taaron ki baat kuchh aur thi

Teri panaah mein jeete they, bin tere woh raat aur hi thi

Teri yaad mein rahe ek hum, wo kuchh aur hi raat thi 

Itney akeley tab bhi na they, tab teri baat hi kuchh aur thi

Tham gayi teri meethi roshni, na rahi teri koi bhi justajoo

Yun laga jaise kisi marti jaan mein paaye tere rang-o-boo

Daud jaa duur mujhse, aur main tujhse ab kya kahoon

Aur kitne sher, daastaanein kitni main tere naam likhoon?

Maut badi asaan hai, teri yaadein to bichhad jaati hain

Tere jaane ke baad bhi, teri adaayein yaad aa jaati hain

Tujhse pehle suqoon tha, ab mujh mein na koi junoon hai

Taaron bin falak, na dhadkan mein koi bhi saansein hain

Chaand jam ke chamka tha, taaron ki baat kuchh aur thi

Bina koi bhi sawaal kiye, jab tum  mere hi saath mein thi

Kuchh bikhrey, thode se simtey, ek alag si hi woh raat thi

Jis din suna tha mujhe tuney, teri toh kuchh aur hi baat thi

Sab ruk gaya hai aaj ke din, kaise jiyoon main ab tere bin
Kitni raatein meri beeteingi, bataa yeh chamkiley taare gin
Thoda ab tu bhi jee ley, mehsoos kar woh saare raat-o-din
Jab tha main tanhaa naachaa, kaise yun tak dhina dhin dhin

The first time I saw you smile...

A Keyrun Rao Original, dedicated to Gautham Menon's VTV

I didn't know about the magic of being in love

All I knew was that it was an awesome feeling 

I wanted to wake up to, every day of my life

It's you who showed me how it is, to be in love

I was a different person, without any damn style

That was only till, the first time I saw you smile

You changed me, without me even noticing it

 Our world view may be distant more than a mile

With you around, it all seemed so damn beautiful

The sun looked so pleasant, moon seemed magical

Every moment with you inspired another poetry
Don't know why, it was like some divine miracle

Wish you were still around, memories still abound
Your sight and your fragrance are still all over me
Everything seems meaningless, still miss you a lot
You are the sky I look upto, that's what I've found

Flowers had another fragrance, stars were brighter
When you were close by me, life was oh so stellar
Days left me spellbound, nights were so much shinier
Could I even dream be your knight in shining armour

The world looked different, happiness was all over
Now that it's a closed chapter, nothing is like it was
The wish to be awake again seems to be gone far
I know this for sure, won't be able to forget you ever!
