UDAAN

Udne ke liye mahaj do pankh hi kafi nahi hai;
meri udano ke liye to
asmaan bhi kaafi nahi hai.

Jeet to lun mai apni har ek jung,
par mujhse ladne ki himmat
kisi dushman me baaki nahi hai.
meri udano ke liye to
asmaan bhi kaafi nahi hai.

Kar lun mukaam rah-e-manjil par kahin,
kamyabi ke is safar pe
neend mujhe ab aati nahi hai.
meri udano ke liye to
asmaan bhi kaafi nahi hai.

Paa to lun mai sare jahan ko ek din,
par mere in iradon pe
khuda abhi razi nahi hai.
meri udano ke liye to
asmaan bhi kaafi nahi hai.

Guzaar dun saari zindagi behoshi me bhi,
par ta-umr mujhe pila sake
aisa koi saki nahin hai.
meri udano ke liye to
asmaan bhi kaafi nahi hai.

Udne ke liye mahaj do pankh hi kafi nahi hai...

Losing Successfully.

I've struggled for existence,
And battled for my identity;

I've been fighting for power,
to establish my superiority;

I've realized all my dreams and
conquered my every adversity;

Now when I account for my success,
I've come to face this reality-

While I was winning every game;
I've kept losing my Humanity.

I am..

Not another drop in the deep ocean,
But am a cyclone - out in motion;


Not just a grain in the desert sand,
But a whirlwind- u cannot withstand;


Not another star in the blue sky,
But am a sun - see me eye to eye!
