Zindagi

Bas sochne se zindagi nahi badalti,

Khwahishon ki kashti nahi sambhalti,

Aankho ke sapno ko sach karna padta hai,

Bas aankh khulne se sachchai nahi badalti,

Tum se bhi maangti hai bharosa ye,

Baat taal dene se baat nahi banti,

Us raaste pe chalte rehna hai zindagi,

Har mod pe manzil manzilein nahi badalti,

Kuch bhi kabhi bigda nahi reh jata,

Koshish karne se koi baat nahi bigadti,

Laut chalo ke ab nayi subah hone ko hai,

Galat raasto pe kabhi sahi manzil nahi milti..

Luv, Aslam (:

Pata nahi..

Baatein kuch jo honton pe sehmi hui thi, 

Wo bol dete to kya ho jata, 

Teri aadat si hone ke pehle,

Hume chod dete to kya ho jata..

Likh dena tha koi khat khamoshi bhara, 

Hum rona chod dete to kya ho jata, 

Aahein bharte rehte hai teri yaad me, 

Tum bhul jane dete to kya ho jata..

Tera aks meri parchayee ka peecha nahi karta ab, 

Tum koi tasweer chod jate to kya ho jata, 

Ye tanhapan ka saathi koi dhund dena tha, 

Hum fir buri aadaton me bigad jate to kya ho jata..

Har diye se roshni maangi hai humne, 

Tum chingari mitne nahi dete to kya ho jata, 

Andhere bhi subah saath chod jayenge, 

Chain se hume sone dete to kya ho jata..

Phir kisi mausam me kuch ghazal likh dete, 

Tum laut ke aa jate to kya ho jata, 

Kore kagaz pe wo bematlab alfaaz kyu, 

Meri zindagi me kuch rang bhar dete to kya ho jata..

Khuda teri zindagi me bhatak aye hai, 

Koi manzil ki tarah mil jata to kya ho jata, 

Thokar kab tak tu raah me bhejega, 

Koi maut ki dua de jata to kya ho jata..

In parindo ki tarah qaid rakha hai dil apna, 

Koi panchi mujhe udaa le jata to kya ho jata, 

Aazad hi kar do is jurm se mujhe abhi, 

Ye meri berukhi koi seh jata to kya ho jata..

Us bel pe lipte phool ki tarah tum, 

Kabhi murjhane ki baat na karte to kya ho ho jata, 

Milte rehte har mausam me tumse hum, 

Tum aas chod na jate to kya ho jata..

Ik zindagi yun udhaar mil jati, 

Ik hasi labon pe yun khil jati, 

Ik wajah hi mil jaati ki, 

Thodi der saanse aur chal paati, 

Thodi duur aur saath chalte to kya ho jata, 

Dekho tum muskura dete to kya ho jata..!!

Luv, Aslam (:

Tera hi saaya..

Bas tera hi saaya hai,

Jo aankho pe chaaya hai,

Ab manzil jaani hai maine,

Jab tujhko paaya hai..

Palke khole nahi, tera

Chehra dil me samaya hai,

Aks tera, teri chahat ko,

Maine dil se lagaya hai..

Har jagah tu hi rubaru hai,

Kaise tujhe andekha karu..

Tera hi saaya hai,

Jo aankhon pe chaaya hai,

Ab manzil jaani hai maine,

Jab tujhko paaya hai..

Tere hi honto se,

Guzre dil ki har baat,

Teri khamoshi me bhi,

Maine sargam ko paaya hai,

Berang si zindagi ko tune,

Teri khushboo se sajaya hai..

Tera hi saaya hai,

Jo aankhon pe chaaya hai,

Ab manzil jaani hai maine,

Jab tujhko paaya hai..

Har ghadi me tu hai,

Har lamhe me tu samaya hai,

Jane anjane kyun, tu hi

apna hai tu hi paraya hai,

Saanso se bandhi hai jo,

Tu hi meri kaaya hai..

Tera hi saaya hai,

Jo aankhon pe chaaya hai,

Ab manzil jaani hai maine,

Jab tujhko paaya hai..

Teri muskurahat ki khatir hi,

Ye dil fir muskuraya hai,

Khone kar darr kyun ho,

Faaslo ko jabse mitaya hai,

In baaho me milta hai sukoon,

Jo aur kahi na maine paya hai..

Tera hi saaya hai,

Jo aankhon pe chaaya hai,

Ab manzil jaani hai maine,

Jab tujhko paaya hai..

Self Motivation!!

I believe that many of you had this time in life when you feel yourself useless, although you know that you are not. A time when you feel that you are going in the wrong way or doing the wrong things.

As result of this bad emotional situation you need to react and the reaction process it can be either a negative reaction which makes you feeling worst or a positive reaction which gives you an huge energy to change things and it start with the process of  SELF MOTIVATION.

Below you will find some points that i took from the book of Leo Babauta ”The Essential Motivation Handbook” which i found useful to stimulate the emotional change in our mind.

If you want to excel in life, self motivation is essential. You must know how to motivate yourself. You must be able to keep your spirit high no matter how discouraging a situation is. That’s the only way to get the power you need to overcome difficulties. Those who are discouraged in difficult times are certain to lose even before the battle is over.
The question is: how do you motivate yourself ? Here are several tips  to build self motivation:

• Have a cause

I can’t think of a more powerful source of motivation than a cause you care about. Such cause can inspire you to give your best even in the face of difficulties. It can make you do the seemingly impossible things.

While other causes could inspire you temporarily, a cause that matters to you can inspire you indefinitely. It’s a spring of motivation that will never dry. Whenever you think that you run out of motivation,  you can always come to your cause to get a fresh dose of motivation.

• Have a dream. A big dream.

Your cause is a powerful source of motivation but it’s still abstract in nature. You need to make it concrete in the form of a dream. Imagine how the world will be in the future. Imagine how people will live and work.

Having a dream is important because it’s difficult to be motivated if you don’t have anything to shoot for. Just think about people who play basketball. Will they be motivated to play if there is no basket to aim at? I don’t think so. They need a goal. You need a goal. That’s what your dream is for.

But just having a dream is insufficient. Your dream must be big enough to inspire you. It must be realistic but challenging. It must stretch your ability beyond your comfort zone.

• Be hungry

To be truly motivated, you need to have hunger and not just desire. Having mere desire won’t take you through difficult times since you don’t want things badly enough. In many cases, hunger makes the difference between the best performers and the mediocre ones.

How can you have hunger? Your cause and your dream play a big role here. If you have a cause you care about and a big dream related to it, you should have the hunger inside of you. If you think that you are losing hunger, all you need to do is to connect again to your cause and dream. Let them inspire you and bring the hunger back.

• Run your own race

Comparing yourself with others is an effective way to demotivate yourself. Even if you start with enthusiasm, you will soon lose your energy when you compare yourself with others.

Don’t let that happen to you. You have your own race so how other people perform is irrelevant. Comparing yourself with others is like comparing the performance of a swimmer with a runner using the same time standard. They are different so how can you compare one with the other?

The only competitor you have is yourself. The only one you need to beat is you. Have you become the best you can be?

• Take one more step

When you meet obstacles along the way, there could be the tendency to quit. You may think that it’s too difficult to move on. You may think that your dream is impossible to achieve. But this is where you can see the difference between winners and losers. Though both of them face the same difficulties, there is one thing that makes the winners different: the courage to continue.

In difficult situations, just focus on taking one more step forward. Don’t think about how to complete the race. Don’t think about how many more obstacles are waiting for you. Just focus on taking the next step.

• Let go of the past

Believe it or not, one of the best demotivators is your past. Your past can drag you down before you realize it. Your past can give you a heavy burden on your shoulders.

The good news is it’s a burden you don’t have to carry. Take it off your shoulder and leave it. You might make mistakes in the past. You might disappoint others with what you did. But it’s over. It’s already in the past and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Today is a new day and you have the chance to start again. No matter how bad your past might be, you still have a bright future ahead waiting for you. Just don’t let the burden of the past stop you.

Yeh Kya Ho Gaya Hai...!!

Tumko bhi yaad aayenge ye socha tha,

Tumhe apna banayenge ye socha tha,

Yun hum bhi apne pyaar ki daastaan,

Tumhe shauk se sunayenge ye socha tha..

Kabhi tum neendon me chali aati ho,

In khwabon ko haqiqat banayenge ye socha tha,

Duriyon ka silsila, darmiyaan ki khamoshi,

Hum paar kar jayenge ye socha tha..

Tere liye ye saare caravan chod kar,

Hum us paar chale aayenge ye socha tha,

Duniya ki koi parwaah kiye bagair,

Teri har khushi ko apnayenge ye socha tha..

Par ab ye kya ho gaya hai....

Ab tum haste nahi,

Ye baadal baraste nahi,

Palke uthti nahi kyun,

Aankhein soti nahi kyun,

Mehfile sooni hone lagi hai,

Saansein judaa hone lagi hai,

Sab raaste soone hai,

Galiyaan yun viraan hai,

Hum bhi tanha hai,

Tum bhi tanha ho...

Ye kyun ho gaya hai ki...

Tum duur jaane lage ho,

Fir mujhe dafnaane lage ho,

Bheed me khone lage ho,

Chupke chupke rone lage ho,

Kahan chali gayi hai meri khushi,

Udaas hai aaj wo chehra haseen,

Meri kahani me ye ajab haadsa hua hai,

Jise chahaa wohi aksar parayaa hua hai..

Luv, Aslam (:

Bas yun hi...

Naaraaz ho gaye ho ik chhoti si baat par,

Ro pade tum ek lamha muskura kar,

Nahi jayenge tumhe chhod ke kabhi kahin,

Jhute nahi hai kabhi dekh lo aazma kar..

Teri har kasautii pe, har shart pe marenge,

Ek ek aansu ki keemat hum adaa karenge,

Is qaaynaat ke har zarre zarre ki kasam hai,

Aakhri saans tak tujhse wafaa karenge..

Wo muskurahat ko phir is chehre pe layenge,

Saari umar tumko apni palko pe bithayenge,

Kal phir zindagi ki nayi shuruat hogi,

Aaj phir tera naam lekar mar jayenge..

Ruth te kyun ho ab maan bhi jaao na,

Lo kaan bhi pakad liye ab to muskurao na,

Chori chori haste hue badi pyaari lagti ho,

Aankhon ki is nami ko ab hataao na..

Sapno me udte hue tere paas aakar,

Badalon pe tujhe khub hasayenge,

Dil se tumhari tasweer laga kar,

Aaj bas yun hi so jayenge..

Sochte hai kyun na maana that tera kehna,

Na socha tha kabhi itne duur chale jayenge,

Is bejaan viraan si duniya ki bheed mein,

Hum akele, tanha reh jayenge..

Tere mere darmiyaan ke ye faasle badh chale hai,

Ab na ek aur aansu bahayenge,

Nahi bhule hai tera aakhri waada sach,

Kal subah hum phir se muskurayenge..

Tere honton ki hasi phir se wapas layenge,

Is akelepan ko chhode, hum tere paas chale aayenge,

Naraazgi khuda se hai meri phir bhi,

Kal hum phir tujhko manaayenge..

Aaj bas yun hi so jayenge...

I wanna die tonight!! :(

I feel so lonely, I wanna die tonight..

I feel so lonely, I wanna die tonight

feels so empty, feels deceived

feels so sad, feels buried

Never have I felt this way before

feels low, feels like shit in my head

feels so down, eternally restless

How am I supposed to know why

I feel so lonely tonight I wanna die??

Can you help me, just leave me alone

Let me surrender, I don't wanna go home

Punish me, torture me without uttering a word

feels like a criminal, feels like a coward

It happens so often I'm guilty of nothing

kills me to face this emptiness & suffering

When the f**k will I ever know why

I feel so lonely tonight I wanna die??

Why in the world did it end like this

it feels like a loser, feels like piss

Hate me for being such an a**hole

cos it feels so uneasy, feels out of control

The distance seems greater than ever before

then why don't you abandon me & my thoughts

Hurt me for I'm still breathing alive

cos it feels like I'm completely numb inside

How am I supposed to know why

I feel so lonely tonight I wanna die??

However things don't seem to change either

feels like I'm gonna be hanged forever

Why don't you blow my head once & for all

I feel so tired, gets difficult even to crawl

The mirrors give a fake reflection of my love for you

cos I feel it was just too good to be true

Can't withstand the pain anymore, no reason to survive

and it feels so terrible when it rains outside

Can't you help me? I wanna kill myself

I feel so lonely, I wanna keep crying tonight

Now's the end of forever, wanna keep dying tonight!! :(

(The Valentine's Day Special)

Incomplete...

The world may cease to exist,

but my love would stay with you,

The sun may not shine but,

my love would glow for you..

Even if the survival may seem tough,

I would still save my last breathe for you,

I'll pray you keep smiling forever,

for my world would be so sad without you..

My heart tells me that it beats with your name,

it would stop beating if ever i forget you..

The same wild roses, The same passionate kisses,

My whole inner self is always craving for you..

My eyes need you, My arms are still wide open,

Just to let you know, I'm so incomplete without you!

Aisa Kabhi Mat Karna... :-(

Tum rooth jao mujhse, 

Aisa kabhi mat karna..

Main ek nazar ke liye tarsu, 

Aisa kabhi mat karna..

Main puch puch haaru 

Sau sau sawaal karke,

Tum ek jawaab bhi na do, 

Aisa kabhi mat karna...

Mujhse hi milke hasna, 

Mujhse hi milke rona,

Par mujhse bichhad ke jee lo, 

Aisa kabhi mat karna..

Tum chand ban ke rehna, 

Main dekhta rahunga,

Kisi roz jo tum na niklo, 

Aisa kabhi mat karna...

Chale jao kahin tum, 

To dekhun tumhara rasta,

Tum laut ke naa aao, 

Aisa kabhi mat karna.... :(

Ye Kaise Ajab Silsile??

Raat nayi hai, 

Ye faasla hai,

Tanhaiyon ka ye,

Kaisa ajab silsila hai?

Mere tasawwur se karti hai baatein,

Dekhe mujhe jab ye teri aankhein,

Kaano mein goonjti rahe,

Wo tumhari sada hai,

Tanhaiyon ka ye,

Kaisa ajab silsila hai?

Jo kuch chhipe hai in palkon ke peeche,

Andhero mein yun hi aankhon ko meeche,

Baalon mein chupke jo barse,

Wo teri ghata hai,

Tanhaiyon ka ye,

Kaisa ajab silsila hai?

Paakar tujhe maine saara jahaan paaya,

Baahon mein aakar hi mujhko sukoon aaya,

Seene se jab bhi tere,

Tera aanchal dhala hai,

Tanhaiyon ka ye,

Kaisa ajab silsila hai?

Bin tere jeene ki kaisi ye majburi,

Saath hai dil tere phir bhi kyun ye doorie,

Teri mohabbat mein paayi,

Ye kaisi sazaa hai,

Tanhaiyon ka ye,

Kaisa ajab silsila hai?

Teri hasi mein main saara jahaan dekhun,

Gar tere saaye ho ye aasmaan de dun,

Rab se jo maangi thi,

Wo hi tu meri dua hai,

Tanhaiyon ka ye,

Kaisa ajab silsila hai?

Udd Chale...

Udd chale aao udd chale, udd chale badalon ke paar,

Thaame zindagi ko, chhue aasmaan ko ek baar...

Is ghadi mein, mere dil mein,

Gudgudi si machle,

Kyun ye naino ne, mere naino se,

Baandhe hai ye silsile,

Ek hawa ka jhonka, baalon se takraaye,

Pankh failaye, wo sang mere honton se dohraye..

Udd chale aao udd chale, udd chale badalon ke paar,

Thaame zindagi ko, chhue aasmaan ko ek baar...

Muskurake chal padi, khilkhilati ek nadi,

Parbaton se bhi upar, hai hamari ek zameen,

Is haseen lamhe ko, apni aankhon mein basaaye,

Pankh failaye, wo sang mere honton se dohraye..

Udd chale aao udd chale, udd chale badalon ke paar,

Thaame zindagi ko, chhue aasmaan ko ek baar...

Ek chhota sa jaahan basaaye,

Use apne sapno se sajaaye,

Na koi gham hoga,

Na koi fikr hogi,

Tum, Main, Ek aazad panchi ki tarah,

Aao sabse duur kahin, Udd jaye!!
