Kahaaniyaan hain kuchh...

A Keyrun Rao Original

Dher lagi padi hai kahaaniyon ki
Kuchh suney, thodey unkahey bhi
Kisi mein khushi hai, thode aansoo
Koi kahey ishq ki, koi ek maut ki,


Kahaaniyaan hain kuchh, ajeeb sey
Kab kahoon, poochh loon naseeb se


Aashiqui kyon aaj ek si nahin hoti
Ek sharaab mein hai ab dooba hua,
Woh jaane aaj bhi kyon nahin roti
Khwaab hai, par chain se nahin soti


Kahaaniyaan hain kuchh, ajeeb se
Kaise kahoon, poochh loon rab se

Sab badal raha hai, pehchaane kaise?
Us muskan mein itni salwatein hain ab
Rooh marr chala hai, itna ghayal hai
Bas ab marham ki talaash hai besabab

Kahaaniyaan hain kuchh, ajeeb se
Kab kahoon, poochh loon naseeb se

Ghaanv taaza hai, lahoo kab sookhey?
Itna bata bas kaise ab tujhe bhoolein
Har pal yaad hai, teri wo saari baatein
Chali ja kahin ab, sooni kar de raatein!

Kahaaniyaan hain kuchh, ajeeb se
Kab kahoon, poochh loon aaj sab se...

Kuchh aur hi baat hai...

A Keyrun Rao Original

Kisi ko pari lagey, koi kahey Khuda ki inaayat,
Main kya kahoon usey, mujhe toh lagey ibaadat,
Ek khwaab hai bas, jo kabhi dekha bhi nahin tha,
Sab us Rab ki hai mere liye, bas ek badi si inaayat.

Kisine jannat dhoondha, kisine saara jahaan paaya,
Har koi apne hisse mein, jaane kaisi duayein laaya,
Maine to bas hai tujhe dekha, aur hai tujhe chaaha
Teri roshni mein dooba, yeh tu mujhe kahaan le aaya.

Kaun jaanta hai yeh ke Khuda bhi yahin basta hai
Maan le tu bhi ki tera aur mera ek hi sa rasta hai,
Kuchh kadam toh chal ke dekh mere saath bhi tu,
Kuchh alag saawan is gali mein bhi toh barasta hai.

Main dhoop sahi, tu chaanv hai ye maine maana hai,
Apna jo yeh naat hai jaan meri, bahut hi puraana hai,
Mandir toote, naye masjid bhi aaj hi toh gaye hain,
Badan se saaye ka yeh rishta bhi yun hi nibhaana hai!

Kuchh aur baat hai, tu mujh mein jhaank kar toh dekh,
Kuchh pal ko soch, ye raasta bhi toh hai kitna nek,
Kuchh kadam tu chal, thode faasle main taiy karoon
Bas rehne bhi de bas is duniya ka jo bhi ho koi take

Mil bhi jaa bas mujh mein tu, kuchh pal aur thehar ja
Ek naya sa jahaan chal mil kar aaj hum basaate hain
Kahin duur na chali jaana tum, samjho mujh ko bhi
Neele aasmaan taley, ek pyaara sa ghar basaate hain!

Dude, say this to bhaabhijaan, jald-se-jald!!!

Mausmi si tabiyat...

A Keyrun Rao Original

Miley kabhi hum pyaar se, kabhi socha hai aetbaar se
Duur kyon hain pata nahin, dhoondha tujhe tha pyaar se
Raaste toh alag hi rahey hain, jab muda tha raah mein
Tere saaye ko maine maanga, kya jaane kitne qaraar se

Mausmi si tabiyat; parbaton si mushkil rahi meri raahein
Gar tu jo mil jaaye humein, phir tham jaayein yeh aahein
Kuchh der toh hum bhi rukein, thoda tum bhi tham jaao
Jaanein kis ke liye hain hum, khol kar baithe apni baahein

Meri thodi khushi tum jee lo, bahaao aansoo, kuchh hans lo
Aansuon ka kya hai bolo, main ro loon, thoda tum hi hans lo
Aage ki kahaani jaane hai kya, saaara kuchh dhundhla sa hai
Thoda sa main aur jee loon, aur thoda sa tum bhi aaj hans lo


Mausmi si tabiyat; parbaton si mushkil rahi meri raahein
Gar tu jo mil jaaye humein, phir tham jaayein yeh aahein
Kuchh theek hain, thode se hain khafaa, tum bataa do
Kaisi hain ye manzilein humaari bhi is qadar bhi  bewfaa

Kuchh aur pal chal ke bhi dekho yun saath humaare
Chaand aur suraj nahin rehte jaane kyon paas humaare
Aapka chaand shaayad aapka hai jaane kyon shaayad
Kuchh toh mere khwaab aaj bhi rahenge humaare re hi 

Ek mausam ki tarah…

A Keyrun Rao Original

Boondon waale ek mausam ki tarah
Meri zindagi mein yun aayi thi tum
Har mausam tum yaad aati rahi
Is baar jo milo, na ho jaana ghum

Ghazlon mein sunte toh rahe hain tujhe
Duaon ki tarah mujh mein shaamil ho
Darte hain ki bhool gaye ho tum mujhe

Kaha kabhi nahin, phir bhi tum meri hi ho

Phir mil ja mujhe wahi bheege mausam si
Kuchh apni baat kahein, aur tujhe sunein

Is baar toh samet loonga seene mein yun
Bas mujh mein hi tu phool sa khilta rahe

Chalo is mausam mein jam ke baraste hain
Duur ho chaley they, phir saath theharte hain

Kab tak meri ye khamoshiyaan sunti rahogi
Ek pyaari si ek baat aao ab chalo shuru karein

Maa ne phir khichdi banaayi...

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

Roz hi khaate rahey, pet bhi ye bhara raha
Swaad kaun jaanta tha, dhadkan jaari raha
Ek din chakha tha ras, dil wahi mangta raha
Kya tha us mein, jo ab bhi wahin atka raha

Maa ne phir khichdi banayi, humne woh khaayi
Pet toh bhar gaya, ye ajab khushi kahaan se aayi?


Swaad ka toh kuchh bhi pata hi nahin tha humein, 
Bas chup-chaap hum aise hi kha liya karte they
Jab dekha toh jaana ke aise bhi ban sakti hai roti
Khud ko jaane aise kaise samjha liya karte they


Maa ne phir khichdi banayi, humne woh khaayi
Pet bas bhar gaya, jaane ye zakhm kahaan se laayi


Koi achaar se khaata, toh koi namak-mirch se
Hum bas dekha karte they unhey bade duur se
Maange nahin they unka achaar, na unke vichaar
Shaayad sab mila humein is kharaab taqdeer se


Maa ne phir khichdi banayi, humne woh yun khaayi
Pet toh bhar gaya, jaane kyun aankhein bhar aayi

Koi toh naacha achcha tha, kisine gaana bhi gaaya
Par naya kissa kisi ne bhi yahaan kyon nahin sunaaya
Kahaani kya hai tumhaari, aaj humein bhi bataa do
Bahut de chuke hain tum ko, ab bolo kya hai bakaaya


Maa ne phir khichdi banayi, humne woh khushi se khaayi
Pet toh bhar gaya, jaane mera zakhm kab dega dikhaayi?

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

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
