Distance Has Got No Meaning If There Is No Journey.. Quotes

Distance has got no meaning
if there is no Journey ..

- Shinaakht -
Dhadkane rukne ka dum nahi bharti
har raat ke baad meri subha ho rahi hai

meelon safar karta jaa raha hu
fir bhi meri manzil nahi ho rahi hai

mehfil mein shirkat to bahut
magar koi guftgu nahi ho rahi hai

rooh ko meri dafna de koi
rafta-rafta jo kafan ho rahi hai

har shakhs ki yahi dua maula kismat badal
aatish se guzarne ki nahi himmat ho rahi hai

hain dard kai reh-reh kar bolte hain
sunaayein kisko aawaaz ro rahi hai

bhookh ab paet se poochti hai
kya teri bhi meri si haalat ho rahi hai

peele sone ki chamak ka kya karein
meri to tere se roshni ho rahi hai

ho rahi ruk-ruk kar baarish
kahin aur bhi teri wafa ho rahi hai

rukta jab chalna nahi aaya tha
ab to daud ho rahi hai

dum-e-dustoor ki tasveer umda thi bahut
aaj baazaar mein iski shinaakht ho rahi hai..

नहीं चाहिए सौगातें अम्बर में जाने की
जाने कब ख़त्म होगी प्रथा मैला ढोने की
मैं भी मानव तू भी इंसान
फिर क्यों ना हो ख़त्म घृणा और उपेक्षा ..

तस्वीर ज़िन्दगी की बयां
मुझसे ना हो सकेगी
मेरी तौबा या मौला
तूने सीना भी दिया तो दिल के साथ

I am not able to narrate
the picture of Life
forgive me oh Lord
you have given me a tongue/courage
but that too with a heart ..

Ajab teri mehfil ka lutf hai zaalim,
kare kya rishi ke
saleeka bhi nahi aata
thirakna bhi nahi aata..

This Diwali launch rocket of smiles
explode crackers of laughter
ignite lamps of ideas and
distribute happiness..

Shukr hai tera khuda
tune jalaalat bakshi
log hase aur
maine tujhe yaad kiya..
