Shaayari from ZNMD

1 – After the deep sea dive

पिघले नीलम सा बहता हुआ यह समा, नीली नीली सी खामोशियाँ
न कहीं है ज़मीन, न कहीं आसमान
सरसराती हुई टहनियां … पत्तियाँ
कह रही है की बस एक तुम हो यहाँ
सिर्फ मैं हूँ, मेरी सांसें है और मेरी धडकनें
ऐसी गहराईयां, ऐसी तनहाईयाँ और में , सिर्फ मैं
अपने होने पे मुझे यकीन आगया

Pighlae neelam sa behtaa hua yeh sama
Neeli neeli si khaamoshiyaan
Na kahiin hai zameen
Na kahiin aasmaan
Sar saraati hui tehniyaan… pattiyaan
Keh rahi hai ki bas ek tum ho yahaan
Sirf main hoon
Meri saansen hai aur meri dhadkanen
Aisi gehraayiyaan
Aisi tanhaayiyaan
Aur main… Sirf main
Apne honae pae mujhko yakeen aa gaya

2 – After meeting Imran’s biological dad

जब जब दर्द का बादल छाया
जब घम का साया लहराया
जब आसूं पलकों तक आया
जब यह तन्हा दिल घबराया
हमने दिल को यह समझाया
दिल आखिर क्यों रोता है
दुनिया में यूं ही होता है
यह जो गहरे सन्नाटे है
वक़्त ने सब को ही बांटे हैं
थोडा ग़म है सबका किस्सा
थोड़ी धुप है सबका हिस्सा
आँख तेरी बेकार ही नम है
हर पल एक मौसम है
क्यूँ तू ऐसे पल खोता है
दिल आखिर तू क्यूँ रोता है?

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaaya
Jab hum ka saayaan lehraaya
Jab aansoon palkon tak aayaa
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraaya
Humne dil ko yeh samjhaaya
Dil aakhir tu kyuun rota hai
Duniya mein yuun hi hota hai
Yeh jo gehren sannaatae hain
Waqt ne sab ko hi baantae hain
Thoda gham hai sabka kissa
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa
Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai
Har pal ek nayaa mausam hai
Kyun tu aisae pal khota hai
Dil aakhir tu kyuun rota hai

3 – Bull run

दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो,
तो जिंदा हो तुम
नज़र में ख्वाबों की बिजिलियाँ लेके चल रहे हो,
तो जिंदा हो तुम
हवा के झोंकों के जैसे आजाद रहना सीखों
तुम एक दरियां की जैसे लहरों में बहना सीखों
हर एक लम्हे से तुम मिलो खोलें अपनी बाहें
हर एक पल एक नया समा देखे यह निगाहें
जो अपनी आँखों में हैरानियाँ लेके चल रहे हो
तो जिंदा हो तुम
दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो
तो जिंदा हो तुम

Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyaan laekae chal rahe ho
toh zinda ho tum
Nazar mein khwaabon ke bijliyaan laekae chal rahe ho
toh zinda ho tum
Hawa kae jhonkon ke jaise aazaad rehnaa seekho
Tum ek dariyaa ke jaise lehron mein behna seekho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo kholae apni baahein
Har ek pal ek naya sama dekhe yeh nigaahen
Jo apni aankhon mein hairaaniyaan laekae chal rahe ho
toh zinda ho tum
Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyaan laekae chal rahe ho
toh zinda ho tum

Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna

I wanted badly the complete poem ‘Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna’ {rendered brilliantly by Atul Kulkarni in ‘Rang De Basanti’} scripted by Ram Prasad Bismil. This post will be the end for that search:

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazuay qaatil mein hai

Karta nahin kyun doosra kuch baat cheet,
Dekhta hun main jise voh chup teri mehfil mein hai
Ay shaheed-e-mulk-o-millat main tere oopar nisaar,
Ab teri himmat ka charcha ghair ki mehfil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.

Waqt aanay dey bata denge tujhe ay aasman,
Hum abhi se kya batayen kya hamare dil mein hai
Khainch kar layee hai sab ko qatl hone ki ummeed,
Aashiqon ka aaj jamghat koocha-e-qaatil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.

Hai liye hathiyaar dushman taak mein baitha udhar,
Aur hum taiyyaar hain seena liye apna idhar.
Khoon se khelenge holi gar vatan muskhil mein hai,
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.

Haath jin mein ho junoon katt te nahi talvaar se,
Sar jo uth jaate hain voh jhukte nahi lalkaar se.
Aur bhadkega jo shola-sa humaare dil mein hai,
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.

Hum to ghar se nikle hi the baandhkar sar pe qafan,
Chaahatein liin bhar liye lo bhar chale hain ye qadam.
Zindagi to apni mehmaan maut ki mehfil mein hai,
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.

Dil mein tuufaanon ki toli aur nason mein inquilaab,
Hosh dushman ke udaa denge humein roko na aaj.
Duur reh paaye jo humse dam kahaan manzil mein hai,
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai.
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazuay qaatil mein hai.

Yoon khara maqtal mein qatil keh raha hai baar-baar,
Kya tamanna-e-shahaadat bhi kisi ke dil mein hai.

Update: Another version of the same, from one of the kind commentors on this blog, Aaryan Collun Sutherland. The comment deserves a complete space in the post, so here it goes.

 

Something i found on the net the other day… wished to share it with you all… Hope it contains the omitted verses of the poem

Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna
Ram Prasad Bismil

Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Dehkna Hai Zor Kitna Baajuen Qaatil Mein Hai
Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Dehkna Hai Zor Kitna Baajuen Qaatil Mein Hai
Waqt Aane Pe Bata Denge Tujhe Hai Aasmaan
Kya Baatein Hum Junoonein Shok Kis Manzil Mein Hai
Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna

Dooriyaan Umeed Ki Na Aaj Humse Choot Jaaye
Milke Dekha Hai Jine Woh Sapne Bhi Na Root Jaaye
Hausle Woh Hausle Kya Jo Sitam Se Toot Jaaye
Hausle Woh Hausle Kya Jo Sitam Se Toot Jaaye
Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Dehkna Hai Zor Kitna Baajuen Qaatil Mein Hai
Tere Sone Roop Ko Hum Ek Nayi Bahar Denge
Apne Hi Lahoon Se Tera Rang Hum Nikhaar Denge
Desh Mere Desh Tujhpe Zindagi Bhi Waar Denge
Desh Mere Desh Tujhpe Zindagi Bhi Waar Denge

Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Dehkna Hai Zor Kitna Baajuen Qaatil Mein Hai
Khushboo Banke Mehka Karenge Hum Lelahti Har Faslo Mein
Saas Ban Ke Hum Gun Gunayenge Aane Wali Har Naslo Mein
HumKhushboo Banke Mehka Karenge
Hum Lelahti Har Faslo Mein
Saas Ban Ke Hum Gun Gunayenge Aane Wali Har Naslo Mein
HumAane Wali Aane Wali Naslo Mein Hum

Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Dehkna Hai Zor Kitna Baajuen Qaatil Mein Hai
Waqt Aane Pe Bata Denge Tujhe Hai Aasmaan
Kya Baatein Hum Junoonein Shok Kis Manzil Mein Hai

Version 2:

Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Dehkna Hai Zor Kitna Baajuen Qaatil Mein Hai
Sarfaroshi
Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Dehkna Hai Zor Kitna Baajuen Qaatil Mein Hai
Dekh Sakta Hai To Bhi Dekh Le Aye Aasmaan
Hausla Yeh Dekh Ke Qaatil Badi Mushkil Mein
Sarfaroshi Sarfaroshi Sarfaroshi
Sarfaroshi Sarfaroshi Sarfaroshi
Sarfaroshi Sarfaroshi Sarfaroshi

Apne Hi Lahoo Se Likhenge Hum Apni Daastaan
Zaalimon Se Cheen Lenge Yeh Zameen Yeh Aasmaan
Apne Hi Lahoo Se Likhenge Hum Apni Daastaan
Zaalimon Se Cheen Lenge Yeh Zameen Yeh Aasmaan
Sar Fire Jawan Hum To Maut Se Bhi Na Darre
Aansh Aye Desh Pe Yeh Kyon Gawara Hum Kare
Mulk Pe Qurbaan Ho Yeh Aarzoo Dil Dil Mein Hai
Sarfaroshi
Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai
Dehkna Hai Zor Kitna Baajuen Qaatil Mein Hai

UPDATE

Courtesy of Aravind [aravindNOSPAMdotNOSPAMagarwalNOSPAMatNOSPAMgmailNOSPAMdotcom] heres the same poem in the devanagari script. All the credits for this hindi vesion goes to araving, I’m just posting his comment in this post verbatim:

सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
देखना है ज़ोर कितना बाज़ुए कातिल में है

करता नहीं क्यूँ दूसरा कुछ बातचीत,
देखता हूँ मैं जिसे वो चुप तेरी महफ़िल में है
ए शहीद-ए-मुल्क-ओ-मिल्लत मैं तेरे ऊपर निसार,
अब तेरी हिम्मत का चरचा गैर की महफ़िल में है
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है

वक्त आने दे बता देंगे तुझे ए आसमान,
हम अभी से क्या बतायें क्या हमारे दिल में है
खैंच कर लायी है सब को कत्ल होने की उम्मीद,
आशिकों का आज जमघट कूच-ए-कातिल में है
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है

है लिये हथियार दुशमन ताक में बैठा उधर,
और हम तैय्यार हैं सीना लिये अपना इधर.
खून से खेलेंगे होली गर वतन मुश्किल में है,
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है

हाथ जिन में हो जुनून कटते नही तलवार से,
सर जो उठ जाते हैं वो झुकते नहीं ललकार से.
और भड़केगा जो शोला-सा हमारे दिल में है,
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है

हम तो घर से निकले ही थे बाँधकर सर पे कफ़न,
जान हथेली पर लिये लो बढ चले हैं ये कदम.
जिन्दगी तो अपनी मेहमान मौत की महफ़िल में है,
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है

दिल में तूफ़ानों कि टोली और नसों में इन्कलाब,
होश दुश्मन के उड़ा देंगे हमें रोको ना आज.
दूर रह पाये जो हमसे दम कहाँ मंज़िल में है,
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
देखना है ज़ोर कितना बाज़ुए कातिल में है

यूँ खड़ा मौकतल में कातिल कह रहा है बार-बार,
क्या तमन्ना-ए-शहादत भी किसि के दिल में है.

dream tut

The warm breath I could feel on my skin,

Glassy eyes brimming with love,

Thick pouting lips,

Silky moist skin,

fresh, natural like winter morning dew,

A stranger,

she looked as if my soul was clear to her,

My deepest desires lay bare to her

and, Yet i felt close vulnerable

but strangely secure,

It wasnt you,

but a stranger,

and I wasnt taken aback,

it felt closely personal,

As if someone i knew was here with me;

and then i woke up.

I felt life come back,

For my dreams had told me that

i was ready to move on…

—

ever woke up from a dream that tells you, you are ready to move on? its a sign mayhaps that things now arent what they were and things will, be what you will. what if a dream tells you not of amazing possibilities, amazing powers hidden deep inside your kundalini but of stark facts. dreams as a guide to the real world; telling you that your scars have healed.

egging you like a strict parent that you now need to start concentrating on looking forward while driving the bike instead of crying over your bleeding gash. what if dreams are your personal tutor to life?

What if God were an Athiest?

An athiest is one who strongly believes in the power of man,
in that power of man to build what he dreams,
to be what he wills himself to be,
and not believe in a god just to ask petty favors from, in return of devotion.

If the only aim of god is to help the man rise above himself,
to rise above the ridiculous flaws of a human himself,
then if every human were to follow that god religiously,
then the biggest devotee would be the biggest athiest.

To be the biggest devotee of this god, you've got to be an athiest first.

exchange offer

Give me your tears
And i shall give you smiles.
Give me your fears
And i shall give you a heart devoid of it.
Give me your pain
And i shall be its cure.
Give me the tiredness
And i shall paint the dash in you.
In return I give you my heart
Would you please help me wipe you out of it?

how long?

How long does it take
to forget
the voice ringing in the head?
How long does it take
to forget
the touch of the velvet skin?
How long does it take
to forget
the pain in the eyes?
How long does it take
to heal the scars?
How long does it take
to finally return to reality?
How long does it take
to forget a person?
How long does it take
to make them a stranger?
How long does it take
to really be truly happy?

arz hai.

kabhi to kuch aisa karenge
jise dekh mann, khushi se phootega
par patha nahi hai
yeh zaalim time kab aayegaa!

Reunion

I feel like a stranger in a familiar new world,
Eyes and faces i search of people to whom i curled.
There! There I see, the faces once i know,
at the feet of serendipidity i now bow.

In the sea of strangers i see my motley crew,
But the people arent the same, that, i once new,
now they are the ones into the choices they grew,
for the lives of their dreams they now pursue.

We laugh all once of the lives we lived,
of moments of joys and pains we shared.
Into the journey of life I move unscared,
even in the dark i see no light unglared.

Education is not what this is about,
Nor money is the one i care a clout,
All i learnt in this land of tech,
Is the ones that matter is not the big fat cheque.

People and friends are treasures of life,
money and wealth are nothing but a measure of strife.
Success is measured not, by the things i get
But the things I lost i can now never get.

Seeking me…

Shed your tear not you arent with me,
Im in the wind that caresses your hair,
In the soft breeze that brushes the tears off you,
And In the cold winter chill that kisses you pink.

In the woods’ huge trees you shall find my hug,
Warm, strong and a patient ear for you.
In the clean blue water that you drink,
And in the thoughts of strength you shall find me dearest.

In your friends that are when you need,
And in the stranger on the path that makes you smile.
In the flowers of spring that cheer your spirits,
The curves & the dimples you shall find me all.

You shall find me in books you love
In every word black n white and
in the songs you croon silent when ‘lone,
And in music of joy ephemeral.

In your eyes you shall see me smiling,
In your breath you shall find me warm,
In the words of love you’ll find me calm,
In every drop of blood you shall find me red.

If you cant find me in all that you see,
Just open your eyes and you’ll find me.

History

In the envy of the souls I fear no throes,
nor in the failure of the task i see pain.
In the doom that waits I see no threat
nor in the stranger that lurks i see peril.

In the darkness of night i fear no wraiths,
Aint in the noir of the sun i fear any faiths.
Nor in the pain of the self i fear any throes,
Even in the face of death I fear no one.

Only the maze of time i fear the most,
Of being forgotten as life zooms by,
Pain that rips, the heart, that throbs
in the mind, full of fear of the null.

The waves of time that creep slowly unnnoticed,
melting away the castles of sand that were built great.
Now lost as an identity that’s one in a thousand,
Amongst a million others that are ones a thousand too.

Sad is it when i come to realize,
That in oblivion now dwell the greats of the past.
