सीने में जलन आंखों में तूफ़ान सा क्यों है

सीने में जलन आंखों में तूफ़ान सा क्यों है
इस शहर में हर शख्स परेशान सा क्यो है

I was as usual making most out of my Friday , watching TV, playing basket ball( ya my new, in fact our room’s new fad) and making plans what to do this weekend with my room mates, that suddenly in one of the talent show, I guess in Little champs, I heard this song. Listening to this song after so many days, last time I heard on AIR FM some 6 months back, I filled with totally different emotion; I searched on Raga, heard this song and in office today searched for its lyrics.

सीने में जलन आँखों में तूफ़ान सा क्यों है
इस शहर में हर शख्स परेशान सा क्यों है
दिल है तो धड़कने का बहाना कोई
धून्धे पत्थर की तरह बेहिस-ओ-बेजान सा क्यों है
तनहाई की ये कौन सी मन्जिल है रफीको
ता-हद्द-ए-नज़र एक बयाबान सा क्यों है
क्या कोई नयी बात नज़र आती है हम में
आईना हमे देख के हैरान सा क्यों है

So true and so right for today’s fast paced life. May be again the birds of same feather flock together concept or everyone of our age is actually going through this phenomenon; that every single person I know have actually felt the emotions of this song sometime or another.
The reasons for this can be countless, may be we are homesick, or may be we are not satisfied with what we are or may be we always expect a lot from life, giving it a room to hurt in back, or may be we have actually become too manipulative that we want everything to be customized to the full extent causing a lot of pain if its not done. All those forwards reminding us of our past, days of school, days of childhood bring back a sweet memory, but what memory are we making now? A bitter memory. We are living to work nowadays rather than working to live. How many times actually have we done something which brought a genuine smile to our face, how many days have it been when playing was actually playing in the sun with friends, not playing on PCs a solo game. How many times going out for a cuppa of coffee was actually for spending a good time with friends rather than to avoid the pangs of loneliness or How many times have been come out of that remote control life and have seen stars brightening the sky? There are plenty of how many which I can think of and still numerous will remain untouched.
May be in the hurry to catch the train for success we have missed the bus of genuine friendship, love & some warm humane relations. But some how I’m glad I have friends, who have always been there for me and who have not let me have so many how many in my life.


दिल धून्धता है फिर वही फुरसत के रात दिन
बैठे रहे तसव्वुर-ए-जाना.न किये है
दिल धून्धता है फिर वही फुरसत के रात दिन…

जाडो की नर्म धूप और आँगन मे लेट कर
आंखो पे खीच कर तेरे आन्चल के साए को
औन्धे पडे रहे कभी करवट लिए हुए
दिल धून्धता है फिर वही फुरसत के रात दिन…

या गरमियो की रात जो पुरवैया चले
ठंडी सफ़ेद चादरों पे जगे देर तक
तारो को देखते रहे छत पर पडे हुए
दिल धून्धता है फिर वही फुरसत के रात दिन…

बर्फीली सर्दियों मे किसी भी पहाडी पर
वादी मे गून्जती हुई खामोशिया सुने
आंखो मे भीगे भीगे से लम्हे लिए हुए
दिल धून्धता ही फिर वही फुरसत के रात दिन…
