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?

Kya daud lagaayi...

A Keyrun Rao Original, dedicated to Tigmanshu Dhulia's film, Paan Singh Tomar and Irrfan Khan.

Bhaagte sab hain, wo akela dauda tha

Bhind ki shaan, ek baawla modha tha

Zindagi ki kya baat karein uski hum 

Usne maut ko bhi peeche chhoda tha

Wo apne rishton ke liye daudta raha

Phir bhi aakhir mein tanha kyun raha?
Finishing line pe nazar thi uski shayad
Aakhir mein kuchh bhi baaqi na raha

Aasmaan ko jisne chooma tha kabhi
Uska khoon mitti mein jam ke rah gaya
Taare rehte they jin aankhon mein kabhi
Un mein kaala ghana andhera reh gaya

Kya daud lagayi tumne Paan Singh Tomar
Itihaas ke pannon mein rahoge ajar amar
Tumhaari kahaani sun ke bada bura laga
Insaaf milega tumhe toh us Khuda ke ghar
