Kid in each one of us

Khidki se jo aayee
jharne me nahayee,
ye geeli-geeli see hawa hai aayee dekho,
dhoop ko dhakelti ye,
pardon se khelti ye,
aankhe meenche meenche bhaagi chali aayee dekho !!

Pedo me fasee thi kahee,
zulfon me uljhi si kahee,
hatheli par bitha ke panchhiyo ko laayi dekho,
kaise dagmagaati,
pedo se ye takraati,
yu girti giraati, maano desi hai chadhaai dekho,

Zindagi bhi hai ek jhonka ,
tumne hai usey roka,
kholo-kholo saare darwaaje,
thoda-thoda saa muskura ke
saare apne chehre sajaake,
zindagi haseen hai, isey dekho
zara paas bithaa ke!

Aasmaan me jo hai taare,
jagte hai raato ko saare,
tim-timaate khil-khilaate,
tumhe khojne wo aate,
karvat badal ke dekho, khidki ke bahar aaye saare!!

Chaand akela rehta hai,
tumse wo roz kehta hai ki
Mutthi me chaandni bharke,
mal do gaalon par sabhike,
jaldi jaldi karo kahee
neend ke baadalo ke peeche, chaand kho naa jaaye dekho!!

Tum bhi chalo,
mai bhi chalu,
laaye khoj ke wo humaare,
bachpan ke din wo pyaare.
jebo me bhar , hatheliyo par.
wo andhere se darr,
wo maths wala sir,
wo sardi bukhar,
phir maa ka dulaar,

Aisee kitni hai yaadein,
geeli-geeli see hai baatein.
Ye jo hai hawa chaand aur taare.
humse roz kehke jaate saare

"Door mat jaa kahee,
dekh dil ke panne palat kar
mil jaayenge chamakte tujhe
wo jo hai 'taare zameen par'!! "

The Time That Will Only Be Mine.

I know there is pain all around.
My happiness is stolen, it cannot be found.
I am hit so badly, am fallen on the ground.
But back of the heart I hear a sound.
This is not forever and nor will it be.
And good times will come for me to see.
Coz I know there will come a time
And it is only going to be mine.

I walk in the darkness all by my self.
Fear is on me and I can’t get help.
A phantom from behind creeps to scare me.
I’ll face it, no matter how fierce it will be.
I don’t run away but turn behind instead.
For me fearing is as good as being dead.
So seeing courage in my eyes he changes his way.
If I didn’t face him he would always stay.
There is a hope to survive and it never dies.
For facing these tests I’ll have my prize.
Coz I know there will come a time
And it is only going to be mine.

Each day I crawl the streets of the city to see.
It is pretty hard for me, some one to be.
Amazed by the houses up there as I look from down.
I too want to be there and not here on the ground.
No matter how impossible it may seem.
To get there each day I will work and dream.
Till there is breath in me, my dreams have a ray.
Who knows my struggle will one day pay.
Coz I know there will come a time.
And it is only going to be mine.
