Aayine mein aks kuchh aur dekha...

A  Keyrun Rao Original, dedicated to Stuti

Ab sach kaun kehta hai yahaan,
Aaj kal jhoot hi sunaayi aata hai
Koi chaahe jitna bhi ho kameena
Humein toh paak dikhaayi deta hai

Aayine mein aks kuchh aur dekha
Jeene ka hai kuchh aur hi tareeqa
Koi bhi shaqal bana lo chaahe tum
Usne toh teri asliyat ko hai parkha

Sach sunta kaun hai, kehta hai koi?
Sab ko jhooth ki aadat pad chali hai
Us aks mein jhaank kar dekh toh lo
Tumhaara hi koi sach chhupa ho koi

Aayine mein aks kuchh aur dekha
Jeene ka hai kuchh aur hi tareeqa
Jhoothi muskaan ho ya dard koi
Khud ko luta hua aur bebas dekha

Hataa bhi do naqaab, ab thak chaley
Shaqal dekhein tumhaari oh rangrez
Jaane kaise rangon mein bhigo chaley
Lagta hai abe, chal ek baar aur milein

Aayine mein aks kuchh aur dekha
Jeene ka hai kuchh aur hi tareeqa
Jab samjha maine yeh taana-baana
Tujhe bhi ek nayi nazar se aaj dekha    

Jaane kiski dua le kar aaya hai...

A Keyrun Rao Original, dedicated to all those Mumbaikars, who lost their lives and / or dear ones, thanks to Ajmal Kasab and his terrorist group. Isn't it high time he is dead?

Ghinouna mazaak sa lagne laga hai
Kya sab ka khoon khaulne laga hai?
Insaaf-e-khuda pe shaq ho chala hai
Jaane kaise woh aaj bhi zinda hai

Jaane kiski dua le kar aaya hai
Kya pata usey jannat nasseb ho

Bheegi aankhein sookh chali hain
Gehre dard bhi ab bhar chale hain
Wo manhoos raat jab yaad aaye
Lut jaata hai dil ka sukoon-o-chain

Jaane kiski dua le kar aaya hai
Kya pata sabse zyaada jiye woh

Kya mehmaan bana liya hai usey?
Ya maaf kar diya us darinde ko
Lagta hai hansi chhupaata hoga
Ab ye yaqeen ho chala hai mujhe

Jaane kiski dua le kar aaya hai
Kya pata koi sharm bhi hai usko?

Hindu-Musalmaan ki baat hi nahin
Insaaniyat ka khoon hai uske sar
Baatein hum karein chaahe jitne bhi
Sach ye hai ki insaaf abhi hua nahin

Jaane kiski dua le kar aaya hai
Kaise koi aisa bhi khushnaseeb ho

Kitna aur intezaar

A Keyrun Rao original

Bahut waqt ho chala hai ab
Barsaat hui na baadal barse
Tu hi bataa de zaalim tere bin
Saawan ko hum kab tak tarse?

Kitna aur hum intezaar karein
Kitna tujhe hum pyaar karein

Tab kya Eid thi, aaj Diwali hai
Jaane kaise log they yaar mere
Us din toh chaandni poori thi
Aaj jaane kaise raat kaali hai


Kitna aur hum intezaar karein
Kitna tera aur intezaar  karein

Sadak sunsaan aur gali khamosh
Mera toh ab baaqi bhi nahin hosh
Daudo tum chaahe jitna bhi tez
Ek hai kachchua, doosra khargosh

Kitna aur hum intezaar karein
Kitna teri yaad mein ab jalein

Kuchh sooni meri muskaan hai,
Tujhpe to dhadkan qurbaan hai
Bataa kab tak rahein hum akele
Mere dhadkan ki ek tu shaan hai

Kitna aur hum intezaar karein
Tere bina ab kaise hum jiyein?

Khush kab tak hai oh bande?

A Keyrun Rao Original

Anjaane mein kya azaan sun li hai
Ya kisi ne keh diye sach tamaam
Jo bhi kaho, khuda to bas ek hi hai
Thoda jhuko, imaan se kaho salaam

Jhooth sab hai, maano kuchch bhi tum
Chaahe raho kisi bhi khayaal mein gum

Kahin bhi suno, sach toh bas ek hi hai
Kuchh bhi kaho, sabki manzil bas ek hai
Khush tum raho yaa geeli kar lo aankhein
Har ek safar ki manzil toh bas ek hi hai

Jhooth sab hai, maano kuchh bhi tum
Kisiki neki kiska samjho kuchh bhi nahin

Anjaane mein kya azaan sun li hai
Kuchh aur meetha lagta hi nahin
Jaane kahaan reh gaya hai wo pyaar
Teri saanson jaisa to kuchh bhi nahin


Jhooth sab hai, maano kuchh bhi tum
Ik anjaane bheed mein hun ho hue gum

Thode akeley reh gaye hain yahaan
Kuchh teri yaadon ka bhi hai sitam
Chaahe jitna bhi sochna chaahe hum
Ye duuriyaan kabhi na hongi kam


Jhooth sab hai, maano kuchh bhi tum
Jaise kal ki talaash mein, ye pal hai sunn

Masoom namaazi ki tarah...

A Keyrun Rao original

Ishq tera chaaha tha, jaane ye kya mila
Ek muskaan chaahi, kyon mujhe diya rula
Daulatein hi maang leta is jahaan ki saari
Jaane tu mujhe hi is kadar kyon mila?

Masoom namaazi ki tarah ek ummeed ki
Phir kyon chal pada dard ka aisa silsila

Khushi ki talab thi, to muskuraana seekha
Tujh mein socha tha wo sab kuchh dikha
Ek bada sa ghaanv mujhe raseed hua
Aisa phir kyon mere hi saath mein hua?

Masoon namaazi ki tarah ek ummeed ki
Phir kyon chhalni hua mere is dil ka raasta

Sach hai, ke deewangi mein rakha kya hai
Insaan shaayad tanhaa hi bada achcha hai
Chaaho kisiko, aur kho bhi do bewajah
Tum bataao, kya marr jaana hi achcha hai?

Masoom namaazi ki tarah ek ummeed ki
Phir kyon yeh dard hai seene mein hai utha

Paise kamaa lete hain, kharch kar dete hain
Par kyon sab isiko hi jeene ka naam dete hain?
Jab paise hi nahin they, bas ek meri tu thi
Is khayaal mein bhi to hum jee hi lete hain...

Masoon namaazi ki tarah ek ummeed ki
Phir kyon tu mujhko barson mein nahin mila?

Bas ek tujhe maanga, aur kuchh nahin chaaha
Jaane kab tak chalega ye dard ka zaalim silsila
Ab tu toh hai nahin, bas teri kuchh yaadein hain
Itna bataa de mujhe, in saanson ka karoon kya?

Masoon namaazi ki tarah ek ummeed ki
Phir kyon main aaj bhi tere liye zinda raha?

Aadha chaand | Dhundhla suraj

A Keyrun Rao original, dedicated to filmmaker Sudhish Kamath's beautiful film, Good Night | Good Morning

Dum ghutne laga tha mera
Tera khumaar utra nahin barson
Bhool paayenge kabhi tujhko
Aisa jaane kab aata koi sawera

Ek ajnabi se milke jaane kaise
Baadalon se chhane dhoop jaise
Kuchh ajeeb sa dikhaayi diya
Wo aadha chaand, dhundhla suraj

Ishq karna koi sikha to nahin sakta
Apna hi ek tajurba baant sakta hai
Tujhse so jo maine seekha, Moira
Thoda tujhko bhi main sikha chala

Shaayad hum us raat ke sahaare jiyenge
Ya woh subah humein maar daalegi
Ye ehsaan rahega us khuda ka hum par
Sochta tha saali tanhaai mujhe nigal legi

Ik gumnaam awaaz se baatein kar ke
Dil mera is kadar halka ho gaya
Sach kehta hoon Moira, yun laga ke
Maano ishq ka ghaanv bhar gaya

Shaayad phir kabhi jo milna hi na ho
Ya phir kuchh kadam aur saath chalein
Hamesha hi humein yaad rahega
Wo aadha chaand, dhundhla suraj

Har pal kisika saath ho, zaroori to nahin
Tere bina bhi meri kahaani adhoori nahin
Teri meethi yaadein saath rahengi mere
Phir kahin takra jaayenge yahin-kahin

Socha na tha ki is tarah bhi koi milegi
Jiski khaamoshi mein bhi ek dua rahegi
Chaaha tha ki hamesha saath rahein
Ek khwaab ki tarah meri ye dagar sajegi

Suqoon mila zindagi tujhse baant kar
Achcha rahega aane waala har safar
Kaise bhoolenge hum jitna chaah kar
Wo aadha chaand, dhundhla suraj

To Moira, with love... Turiya.

Koi sunta hi nahin...

A Keyrun Rao Original

Sab ki hoti hain, meri bhi thi,
Ek kahaani, ajeeb-o-gareeb si,
Kehna toh chaahta hi tha, dil se
Thodi si jaani, kuchh thi anjaani si

Kyon kisine na taali bajaayi
Na meri ye peeth thap-thapaayi
Shaayad meri kuchh alag baat thi
Kisi ke bhi toh samajh hi na aayi

Pyaar ke badey kissey kaho
Ya toh bolo baatein takraar ki
Hum to jaante hi nahin hain ke
Duniya kya hai tere qirdaar ki

Maa banegi shaayad, ya toh nahin
Kahaani toh sabki itni hi si hai
Kisi ne janmaa yahaan pyaar ko
Kisi ne diya chehraa nafrat ko hai

Maut toh pehle aa jaati hai
Zindagi ka koi thikaana nahin
Tum hi bataa do mujhe ab
Muskaane ki wajaah hi nahin

Sab ki hoti hai, meri bhi to thi,
Ek kahaani, ajeeb-o-gareeb si,
Kehna toh chaahta hi tha, dil se
Thodi si jaani, kuchh thi anjaani si

Jeene-marne ka usool kya hai
Tere bin is sab ka sabab kya hai
Saansein ye sasti toh lagti hain
Tanhaa jeene ki keemat kya hai

Koi sunta hi nahin aisa hai shor
Rooh se chhilti nahin hai ye dor
Two plus two could easily be four
Ye dil jaane kyun ab maange more
