Iktara (male version)- Lyrics

I had been looking for the lyrics of this song for sometime now... but Google disappointed me!!

So, after a long time (read: after school) I listened to the song & noted down the lyrics :)

You can listen to the song here. Thanks to Karan Johar for posting it on Twitter... Enjoy! :)

Rooh ka banjara re parinda
Chhad gaya dil ka re gharonda
Chhad gaya dil ka re gharonda todke
Re gharonda todke, gaya chhodke

Je naina karun band band
Beh jaye boond boond (2)
Tadpaye re, kyun sunaye geet malhar de

Bemalang tera iktara (8)

Itra tun basi basi, padi hai sirhane
Band darwaja dekhe lauti hai subah
Thandi hai angeethi seeli, seeli hain deewarein
Goonje takrake inme dil ki sada
Goonje hai re (2) dil ki sada (2)

Jo naina karun band band
Beh jaye boond boond (2)
Tadpaye re, kyun sunaye geet malhar de

Bemalang tera iktara (8)

Sabka Katega- Bothi Tree (lyrics)

I just love this song... makes a lot of sense at most times :)

Din kate na raat..
What brought us together, might remain unspoken.
What held us together, might be worn off and broken.
Even if your way was different, as i felt was mine,
Now i want our paths to cross, waiting for my time.

Din kate na raat kate na subah kate na shaam,
Dhoop hate na chaaon hate na gum hate na jaam,
Dekho sabka katega
Sabka katega raam, yun hi kat ta rahega,Sabka katega raam.

Teri yaadon main kal ki rain bitayi thi,
Meri aakhon main firse aas bhar aayi thi,
Shaakhon se phool toote, raahon main jiske,
Dil dooba num hua pyaar main uske,
Yaad ghate na yaad bhare ye yaad badhe har saans,
Pyaas main teri jaane kitne kaat chuka main jaam,
Dekho sabka katega,
Sabka katega raam, yun hi kat ta rahega,Sabka katega raam.

Phir se subah hogi, kabhi to tere dar par,
Phir se tere mann main, hum rahein har pal.
Phir se subah hogi, kabhi tere dar par,
Phir se tere mann main, hum rahein har pal.
Kya hua jo jhooth kaha ki mujhe na tumse pyaar,
Maan bhi jaao kat jayega pyaar main jeevan yaar,
Jaise sabka katega,
Sabka katega yaar, yun hi kat ta rahega,Sabka katega yaar.

I thought I had known the questions
I thought I had all the answers,
But it overwhelms me now
The more I learn, the lesser I know…

I keep wanting to fall back
On the old ways of the familiar and known,
But life moves away from all this
And there’s no room for the luxury of comfort…

Fraught with worry, despairing the change
But, there’s no respite,
I just have to keep fighting on…
Living on…
Dreaming on…
And maybe, someday
I’ll have it.

Tu Jaane Na- Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani

Khayalon mein lakhon batein
Yunhi keh gaya, Bola kuch na tere samne
huye na begane bhi tum hoke Aur ke
Dekho tum na mere hi bane
Afsos hota hai
Dil bhi yeh rota hai
Sapne sanjota hai
Pagla hua soche yeh

hum the mile
Tum se na jane kyun
Milon ki hai fasle
Tumse hai jaane kyun
Anjane hain silsile
Tum se na jaane kyun
Sapne hai palkon tale
Tum se na jaane kyun....

kaise bataein kyun tujhko chahein
yara bata na payein
batein jo dil ki dekho zuban ki ankhen unhe samjhayein
tu jaane naa..... ... . . . . . ... .

mil ke bhi hum na mile, tumse na jaane kyun

The puff of a dream
And I smoke on
Igniting the fire,
But vanishing in the air...
After a while
The filter starts to burn
I singe my fingers,
And only the ashes remain...
To be swept away unknown

In the speed of life,
The colours get blurred.
Some time stays in the past,
Some people move on.
Years hide behind smokescreens,
Lovely moments are etched vividly still.
We keep on looking,
For that elusive wind.
And we tried to hold on tight,
To dreams and rosy illusions.
Yet left we are with some sleep,
Tin soldiers, hopes & poems.

Chalo Roshni Ki Or

Dil pe jo kharashein theen
Woh hum bhool rahe hain...

Man ki jo kharashein thin
Unhe mita rahe hain…

Zindagi se aur kya gila rakhen hum
Mukammal jahan ki khushiyan mil rahi hain...

Alvida

Raat poori hum jaagte rahe
Bujhti roshni ki aad mein,
Parchhai mein chhipe chehre rahe
Yun kareeb jaise sapno mein.

Soone angan ko dekha humne
Khali wo saare kamre,
Bejaan hai poora man humara
Chhootne ke khayal se.

Wo akhri geeli nazar
Wo akhri bhari awaz,
Wo akhri jadu ki jhappi
... Aur subah hone ko hai...

Casas de cartón- Ali Primera
http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=IN&hl=en-GB&v=_FRSqM2uiM8&feature=related
Qué triste se oye la lluvia
en los techos de cartón;
qué triste vive mi gente
en las casas de cartón.

Viene bajando el obrero
casi arrastrando los pasos
por el peso del sufrir;
mira que mucho es sufrir,
mira que pesa el sufrir.

Arriba deja a la mujer preñada,
abajo está la ciudad
y se pierde en su maraña.
Hoy es lo mismo que ayer;
es su vida sin mañana.

Ay, cae la lluvia
viene el sufrimiento,
pero si la lluvia pasa,
¿cuando pasa el sufrimiento?
¿Cuándo viene la esperanza?

Niños color de mi tierra
con sus mismas cicatrices,
millonarios de lombrices.
Por eso qué triste viven los niños
en las casas de cartón.
Qué alegres viven los perros,
casa del explotador.

Usted no lo va a creer,
pero hay escuelas de perros
y les dan educación
pa' que no muerdan los diarios.
Pero el patrón
hace años, muchos años
que está mordiendo al obrero.

Qué triste se oye la lluvia
en las casas de cartón,
qué lejos pasa la esperanza
de los techos de cartón.


English translation:
How sad does the rain sound
On the roofs made of cardboard
How sad it is, the way my people live
In houses made of cardboard

Here comes the worker
Practically dragging each step
Carrying the weight of suffering
Look how much he's suffered
Look at the weight of such suffering

He leaves his woman pregnant
Down there is the city
And he loses himself in his maze
Today is the same as yesterday
A situation without a tomorrow

How sad does the rain sound
On the roofs made of cardboard
How sad it is, the way my people live
In houses made of cardboard

Children the same color of my country's earth
With their same scars
Millions of worms
And because of that
How sad it is, the way the children live
In houses made of cardboard

How happy do dogs live in the
House of the employer
You won't believe it
But there are schools for dogs
Where they receive education
So they won't bite the newspapers
But the employer!
For years, many years
Has been biting the worker

How sad does the rain sound
On the roofs made of cardboard
How far away, does hope pass by
In the houses made of cardboard

Coffee Daze

A dream is brewing
Strong & heady inside,
With promises of wonders
Out of a magic cup.
The aroma wafts in
Clear and delicious,
Drink up my friend
And look to the future .
Sip it slow,
Believe in its power
In life with its glories
And luck and destined lovers.

Looking Ahead

Where do you get lost
My friend
I am right here
Stay here, look at me
And lets recount the times that were

Happy & sad
Full of adventure
Misplaced romance sometimes
And now lets move ahead with our lives

Where do you get lost
My love
I am right here
Stay here, look at me
Lets fall in love all over again

The future is a present
And we’ll unwrap it together
Its so easy to be with you
And to move ahead together with our lives

Triveni fever strikes again :)

Ehsano ka bojh hum khud uthate hain,
Aur fir zindagi ki khuraakh khojte reh jaate hain...
Saans to muft hoti hai
_________________________________________
Fursat se kabhi aana to batayenge,
Aapko in sile labon ka raaz...
Satta sirf shabdon ki mohtaj nahi
_________________________________________
Humne andhere se bewajah hi dosti ki,
Jab ki tumne apne ujale se mera pura jahan roshan kar diya...
Chanda bhi to suraj se hi chamakta hai
_________________________________________
Ek lambi saans ke saath boondon ki mehek aayi,
Aur thandi hawa mein aahein ud gayin...
Bas neeche galiyon mein paani ki chheenten na paden
_________________________________________
Kabhi jab hum ankhen band karke sochte hain,
To roshni se bhi man behek jaata hai...
Wo haath se padte hain to kya
_________________________________________
Zindagi mein khushiyon ki aisi baad aayi,
Ki saari dukh ki kashtiyan beh gayin...
Kahin un jaagi hui kabron ki nazar na lag jaaye
_________________________________________
Humne to khuli ankhon se khwab sajaye,
Aise ki sari duniya peechhe reh gayi...
Sandal utaar kar hi mitti ka sparsh hota hai

things you must see

Thode bheege bheege se thode nam hai hum,

5. bubbly- colbie cailat (very very cute song :))

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the felling's in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I rinkel my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is falling on my window pane
But we are hiding in a safer place
Under covers stayinsafeand warm
You give me feelings that I adore
because it all starts
in my toes
Makes me feel for my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I gonna say
you make me feel this way
I just mmmmm

it starts in my toes
Makes me tickling my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go
ba dada da dada dum wo do do dada dum
um ba do do oda oda oda ooh ooh mmm um mm
I've been asleep for a while now
You tuck me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

And it starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
'cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
oooohhh wherever you go
i always know
cause you make smile
even just for a while

~ to the strange music that played in my head

I could have told you

you could have told me

that which will never be

that which we'll never see

I could have heard you

you could have heard me

that which we never said

that which we'll never hear

lets all stop waiting

lets all start doing

we'll put this life to better use

we'll do that which were meant to

My Musical Ecstasy

You make me smile

When no one’s around,

You fill me up

From inside to out.

You stir me so

With every emotion,

You move me so

With depth and passion.

You bring me alive

To every last bit of life,

You can send me,

To the nadir of night.

You show me rainbows

And bright kaleidoscopes,

You take me away

From the valley of fears.

You are my soul,

Of inspiration and despair,

You are my pith

Of truth and poetry.

You bring out the best

At times the worst,

You make my mould

The musician, poet, artist.

You wring everything out

Everything possible in me,

And all I only wish…

I wish I could dedicate to you my life.

Pride

The sky outside

Purple and blue,

My heart races

With all the grey faces

Of the doves,

White in flight.

A light burns

Bright and orange,

My eyes light up

Reflecting with a million more

Full of hope,

Looking to the fore.

And all the colours

White, black, brown,

Come all together

Arise as one

To embrace the future,

In this glorious nation of mine!

The Bridge

I watch from one side

You, rising above the rest

I smile... for you.

I watch you move ahead

Move on, from me

From the us that was.

I see you going far, away

From sight, my life

Alone now...

I stay on this side

Unmoving, unsure

What’s yonder?

Mixed Bag of more Triveni

Khamoshi ki goonj kitni tez hoti hai,
Andar ke khauf sab bahar aa jate hain...
Kharraten kahan bure hote hain

_____________________________________________

Hum unse kya gila karen,
Jab apni himmat ne jawab de diya...
Shishe ke tukdon mein ab aks bhi nahi jhalakta

_____________________________________________

Hum chalte rahe apne anjaan safar par,
Hath mein hath muqaddar ke...
Kya karen jo kabhi street light kharab ho jaye

_____________________________________________

Har roz zindagi kuch yun guzar jati hai,
Jaise rail ki raftar mein ped...
Bas chand lamhe churakar foto me kaid kar rakhen hain

_____________________________________________

Andhere mein bhi ek amulya sa akelapan hai,
Jahan man ki baaton se roshni chamakti hai...
Kahin hum yahan khoj mein bhatakte na reh jayein

_____________________________________________

Man ke khayalon ke khazane se,
Kai jazbaat alfazon mein dhal gaye...
To kya hua agar unhe bas dosti ka naam de diya

______________________________________________

Dil ke wo nishaan jo aankhon mein jhalakte hain,
Laal syahi se humne shabdon mein dhaal diya...
Hawa se udkar rakh bhi firse jal jaati jai

the death of romance

Ye santaap kaisa hai,

Jo barson baad bhi chubh jata hai...

Humein badgumaan tha ki dhaage pakke hain

___________________________________________

Shayari bhi ik rahasya si kaid hai,

Sundar alfaaz aur meethi bhasha mein...

Ya kaale jasbaat aur jhoothe sach mein

More triveni

Bas kaam mein dhut ho gaye aise,
Hamari pyaas tak adhuri reh gayi...
Aur kab bujh gayi pata bhi nahi chala

Inspired by Gulzar's Triveni

Triveni is a form of Hindi/Urdu poetry initiated by the poet Gulzar. Unlike sher, a triveni consists of three misras. The first two are complete in themselves, but the addition of the third misra gives a new dimension all together

_________________________________

Wo gam kaisa jo geela na ho,

Jaise dard ki koi purani zubaan...

Kya bura hai jo aasman rota hai

_________________________________

Socha to tha ki usse dafna dia,
Par bhooton ka dera dhala nahi...
Kabr mein phoolon ki mehek abhi taazi hai

_________________________________

Hum apni oonchaion se dekhte hi rahe,
Aur hawa jaise kisiko dhoond kar guzar gayi...
Lalaten ki dhoop bhi ab bujh rahi hai

On Hoarding

Insignificant memorabilia-
Immortal chains,
To the vast abyss of memory.
Pulling down deeper,
Faster and tighter-
Into that useless waste, of time.
Forever reminders,
Post dated to infinity,
Clinging on- to the past, and to future hope.
Selfish, materialistic,
Worldly, possessive,
And always one to lose.

Farewells

One last look behind the clouds,

One last dance in your arms,

One last kiss stolen from the makers of fate,

One love chanced with no expiry date.

 

One last night of togetherness,

One last sigh of passing,

One chance taken and survived,

One dream lived and fulfilled.

 

One last walk within your walls,

One last touch of madness befalls,

One and two years frozen in time,

Infinite memories, friends- all mine.

 

The last goodbye, the last farewell,

And wishing it never ends,

The last journey on the road,

A moist witness as the chapter folds.

* Note: Dedicated to my beloved alma mater- MICA

Choked

The longing light kissed my feet

And the shadows got darker,

On the road of reckoning

My steps were reluctant as ever.

 

I gazed frantically around

Trying to retain the dream,

To burn every last detail

And forever commit to memory.

 

It remains forever in my vision

But I don’t look it in the eye,

As the salty matters threaten then

A trigger to the blurred goodbyes.

Dislikes

I dislike partings...

For they make me so sad

They make me want to reach out...

Reach out to what’s not there.

They leave me all alone

With nobody but myself.

 

I dislike loneliness...

It reminds me of times it wasn’t so

When I had everyone around

Who never made me feel alone.

And then the emptiness stings

And I’m left struggling with me.

 

I dislike absence...

It leaves empty spaces

Where earlier there was none

My heart keeps yearning for those not there

It calls out... but there are none.

There aren’t even echoes to

Answer me now... only the blank.

 

I dislike silence...

It opens too many doors

Rather left unopened

It brings back too many memories

That are better off untold.

Unsaid, mum and in the box

Never again to be taken out.

 

I dislike memories...

May they be big or small

For I don’t like going back in time

To relive that moment

And then pine...

For things I shouldn’t think of

However they might be.

 

I dislike thoughts...

Those traitors my brain pets

Who just betray my will...

They don’t listen one bit to me

And then the salt goes over the sill.

Madly Drunk

I want you to hold my hand

I want you to talk

Into my ear softly so

Only I can listen.

 

I want you to hold me close

Be with me evermore

Take me to the land of dreams

Where you and I can be.

 

Let’s run away

Let’s leave this world

And the customs it forces to bear

I just want to be with you

To hear your deep voice

And never know any fear.

 

Of being alone

Of being trapped

Of being without anyone

Of being closed off

Without you

Without you, oh my sun.

 

Your smile brings smiles to me

Your happiness radiance to my face

I need you so

Please love me so

I’ll be with you forever and a day.

I... Who?

* I have put it as a picture to retain the format.

Part of something else... but apt for now

The wistful loneliness doesn't go away
Like a shadow to you
Night time blues and sleeplessness
And thoughts with sadness brew.

Oh, why can't we be together
Why didn't the time start
'Tis right to live in hope, but now
There seems very little about.

There is a feeling of uncertainty
Threatening to call a storm
Kicked out dreams and goals and passions
And none of the glory of the morn.

Phase V Out

Moonlight flickers in
Through the greens’ sprightly dance,
Gets a glimpse of a shell
Where some ideas flow, perchance.

When once it felt such a face
That reflected light from within
Happy thoughts and their like
Full, up to the brim.
A reminder of togetherness
And soft dreams of romance
Warm feelings it once aroused
That now steadily wanes.

Now etched in features revealed
Are sadness and despair
Hope dried up in the heart
And left without a care.

But the light is still the same
Unique and unblemished
It washes its given pain
Seals the shell with a gentle kiss.

Wrapping up this sojourn
Off, on a brand new path
To discover and follow the hearts’ destiny
The inner voice... the lodestar.

The Aftermath

A gnawing pain fills my heart
Spilling water up-front,
Simple words put together
And I’m left to face their brunt.
Of all the good times I had
Only a few recollections remain,
So many things remind me
That nothing’s ever the same.
A walk here, some numbers there
And all the talk exchanged,
Everything said and done
Left nothing in the end, but pain.
Sleep isn’t that inviting anymore
The moon just gives plain light,
The cool air that’s in the trees
Takes with it my light.
Now, I’ve understood not to expect
Not to give too much to one,
Spare no extra thought at all
Let live and live on.

Untitled

Sitting with my back to the door
Pressed for warmth and a hug,
Trying to kiss my tears goodbye
Trying to hide a little shrug.

The creases don’t iron out
The folds don’t stay neat anymore,
I try to maintain the stacks proper
I try to keep the smell intact.

The lights die out slowly
I become like a distorted shadow,
Trying to retain the little mystique
Trying not to see the ghosts.

The melodies haunt my ears
Getting entangled with my moods,
I try to reach out and touch them
I try to feel, hold and love them.

The words are stuck on my tongue
And the sight in my eyes,
But to give up and let it go
Perhaps, I can only try.

Senses Underground

The day has dawned bright

And the melody begins to rise,

Up on higher like an arc, as

Pure a crescendo as the light.

 

So- the music rises in my soul

But haunting me always,

Like the delicate chime in the wind

Or maybe a distant goal.

 

___

 

The mellow aroma of the reds,

The naughty rose teases me,

Softly as a petal brushes

Come on now gently.

 

The perfume lingers on

A soft reminder, a smile,

And in a secret that endures

Within the petals entwined.

Payaliya- Dev D (lyrics)

Jaanu nahin kaise-2

Piya ghar jaun

Jaanu nahin kaise-2

Piya ghar jaun

Paayaliya, paayaliya kahe ke piya ghar jaaun

Paayaliya, paayaliyaa... 

(my god)

Paayaliya chhan chhan, chhan chhan shor kare mohe piya ghar jaaun (my god)- 2

Paayaliya, paayaliya kahe ke piya ghar jaaun- 2

Paayaliya...

Paayaliya...

(my god)

Araj araj kari, karaj karajwa ko 

Kar hal pal bechain

Daras daras ko kahe paayaliya

Aas lagawe din rain

Soojh boojh bhulawe

Goonj goonj uthawe

Piya ko pukare haye re...

(Han) jiya pe chhaye-2

Chhaye, chhaye, chhaye, chhaye re

Paayaliya, paayaliya kahe ke piya ghar jaaun- 2

Asar asar aso basar basar kari

Neend bisar karde

Janam janam ki preet lutati hai

Saiyan ke milan ko re

Paas paas bulawe

Raaz raaz rachawe

Piya ko manawe hai re...

(Han) mujhe sajaye-2

Hai, hai, hai, hai re

Paayaliya, paayaliya kahe ke piya ghar jaaun- 2

Piya ghar jaaun-3

Paayaliya chhan chhan, chhan chhan shor kare mohe piya ghar jaaun- 2

Paayaliya, paayaliya kahe ke - 2

Piya ghar jaaun- 2

Dhol Yara Dhol- Dev D (Lyrics)

o chala chal... -2

chha gaya mujhpe jadu karke,

vaari tore jaun main sadke,

dhol yaara dhol-2

mann mein more hook uthi hai,

koyal jaise kook uthi hai,

dhol yaara dhol-2

mauj ki dhinge jhulun,

dede mohe haath dede,

dede mohe haath,

ambar udke chhoo lun,

tore saath saath tore,

tore saath saath...

paon mein ghungroo baje re,

nathaniya bindiya saaje re,

isak (ishq) mein dubi haye re...

chha gaya mujhpe jadu karke,

vaari tore jaun main sadke,

dhol yaara dhol-2

mann mein more hook uthi hai,

koyal jaise kook uthi hai,

dhol yaara dhol-2

(ho ranjhna mere yaar)

tore sang, tore sang rang rangai,

preet mein tori main hun nahayi,

khushiyon ki khatiya hogi,

sang honge hum tum yaara,

wah wah re, wah wah...

preet mein bawari ho jaun main, ho-o-o

jism ka tohre aanchal odhlun main, ho-o-o

tujh pe kurban, kurban ho jaun main, ho-o-o

tu sang to baat ban jaye-3

chha gaya mujhpe jadu karke,

vaari tore jaun main sadke,

dhol yaara dhol-2

mann mein more hook uthi hai,

koyal jaise kook uthi hai,

dhol yaara dhol-2

mauj ki dhinge jhulun,

dede mohe haath dede,

dede mohe haath,

ambar udke choo lun,

tore saath saath tore,

tore saath saath...

paon mein ghungroo baje re,

nathaniya bindiya saaje re,

isak (ishq) mein dubi haye re... -3

dhola... dhola re...

Ranjhana- Dev D (lyrics)

Na raha mera yaar,
Toone sang, toone ang naa lagaye,
Birha ki agni mein chokhi jalayi,
Hadd se be hadd hadd kardi,
Na chaali dil ki marzi,
Chhaliya ve jaa jaa,
Vaat dekhi teri barson maine,
Gaaj tune giradi dil pe more,
Bedardi samjha na tu more sak ko,
Tujh bin din raat ke saaye,
Tujh bin kuch bhaaye na haye...

(dhola, dhola re)
