Buri hai ishq di aadat...

A Keyrun Rao original, about a fatal addiction, that is love!

Koi kahe ishq, kisi ke liye ye mohabbat
Kisi ko miley jahannum, koi paaye jannat
Mil jaaye to sab sahi, na mile gar to galat
Yun lag chala hai ab, buri hai ishq di aadat

Kain to bach gaye, kuchh fanaa ho gaye
Kitne to qaafir bane, kuchh nuur pa gaye
Kahin andher raha, hum chaand kha gaye
Kisi ne aasmaan nigla, hum taara ban gaye

Humaara afsaana bhi koi kahega kisi din
Jalte-jalte bujh gaye ek din hum tere bin
Aaj bhi roshni ki talaash hai, bas thodi si
Bujh kar kya jal paayenge, hum tere bin?

Buri hai ishq di aadat, tanha hi behtar hai
Hum dafan hue zinda, tu jaane kidhar hai?
Mera diya gham yaad hai, khushi bhool gayi
Aansoo de gayi, kyun teri muskaan idhar hai

Dil ke saude mein maine to sab kuchh khoya
Loot ke mujhe, bataa tune bhi kya paaya?
Buri hai ishq di aadat, der mein samajh aaya
Kya bigaada tha, jo is kadar mujhe rulaaya?

Dil ki chot bharte zamaana beet chala hai ab
Kyun hamesha pyaar ka hota hai aisa sabab?
Kab tak sanson ka ye silsila chalta rahega
Mujhe teri panaah mein ab le bhi le ya rab...  

PS: Happy Valentine's Day to all those who found love and best of lucks to those who are yet to find.

Khushi ka chehra...

A Keyrun Rao original, dedicated to my dear sister who has always been there for me!

Kehne ko khushi kya hai?
Ek alfaaz, ek meetha ehsaas?
Jab usey chehra dena chaaha
Bas tu hi humein nazar aaya

Kehne ko ummeed kya hai?
Ek aur alfaaz, pyaara ehsaas?
Jab usey chehra dena chaaha
Bas tu hi humein nazar aaya

Rishtey to bahut ban jaate hain
Hamesha thodi nibha paate hain
Kuchh log bade khaas hote hain
Dua ban ke dil mein reh jaate hain

Yun dekho to dua bhi kya hai?
Ek gehra alfaaz, ghazab mithaas?
Jab usey chehra dena chaaha
Bas tu hi humein nazar aaya

Yun hi rehna saath, aayat ban kar
Kuchh achcha hum kar jaayenge
Bahut duur tak chalna hai abhi
Tu na ho gar, pehle hi ruk jaayenge

Poora chaand aur adhoore hum...

A Keyrun Rao Original
(Assuming it is a full moon night, tonight.)

Tere bina kuchh haasil nahin lagta
Koi raah jaane kyon nahin dikhta
Khushi jitni bhi mil jaaye humein
Andheron mein hi hoon bhatakta

Tere rehte badla mera har aalam
Tu nahin hai mayoos hai mausam
Poora chaand aur adhoore se hum
Thodi hai khushiyaan aur itne gham

Aaj taaron se zyaada baadal hain
Tera phaila hua kaajal kyun hai
Chal saath mere kuchh pal toh aur
Bataa phaili itni bhi udaasi kyun hai

Tere rehte jiya tha har wo ek pal
Bin tere aaj sab gaya hai badal
Poora chaand aur adhoore se hum
Tere bin katra-katra nikle mera dum

Teri khushboo tera saaya ab bhi hai
Mera tujhse woh naata aaj bhi hai
Kaise paraaya kar paayegi mujhe
Kuchh to mujh mein ab bhi tera hai

Teri koi baat bhoola nahin hoon main
Tanha yun hi jeeta raha hoon main
Poora chaand aur adhoore se hum
Tujh se parey ab main bhi nahin main

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
