man sada se...

mann sada se uljha rehta hai
yeh kagaz kyon safed rehta hai
rishton ki is udher bun mein
dil apno se kyon juda rehta hai

man sada se uljha rehta hai
yeh kagaz kyon safed rehta hai

karta hoon jatan main har din
jane kyon kuch kum sa rehta hai
har pal ki is kasmakash mein
neend ka pal kyon dour rehta hai

man sada se uljha rehta hai
yeh kagaz kyon safed rehta hai

hai ab raat ka sannata to yeh
shor dil mein kyon goonjata hai
aaine ke samane ki pahal se
yeh lab ab kyon chup hota hai

man sada se uljha rehta hai
yeh kagaz kyon safed rehta hai

tej daudati in dhadkano mein
jwar bhata ab kyon uthata hai
pehle baras chuka yeh badal
kyon aaj phir se garajta hai

man sada se uljha rehta hai
yeh kagaz kyon safed rehta hai

bolne ka dar to kab se hai
par likhane se kyon rukta hai
man sada se uljha rehta hai
yeh kagaz kyon safed rehta hai

jeene ki chahah

Har dard ko bhula kar,
jeene ki chahah rakhta hoon
tujh se bichad kar,
badane ka irada rakhta hoon

dhadkane bahut gum huie
ab dum bhar saans bharta hoon
yadaoon ki barasaat huie
aur sahajne ka dum bharta hoon

bhale pada hoon dhra par
par udane ka sapna dekhta hoon
ho kitna bhi door tu par
nazaroon se bas tujhe dekhta hoon

ab bin kissi raste ke bhi
aage chalane ki baat karta hoon
jo naraaz hain unse bhi
milane ki ek umeed karta hoon

aaj nayi subhah mein,
sooch ek nayi si rakhta hoon
Har dard ko bhula kar,
jeene ki chahah rakhta hoon

sard si hawa

sard si hawa talashta hoon,
kuch aur din jeene ke liye
darkht ka saya dekhta hoon,
pal do pal rukane ke liye

ab aaraam karana chahta hoon,
phir se aage badane ke liye
zindagi ka tasavuur mangta hoon
kuch mahekti sansoon ke liye

main apni rah se mud chala hoon
door dikhate naye raste ke liye
phir kissi aur bad~ chala hoon
ek naya sa makaan pane ke liye

dafn armaanon mein doondata hoon
ek khawab fir se jeene ke liye
aaj dosti dushman se karta hoon
ek naya dushman banane ke liye

ruh-e-qatil ko bholna chahta hoon
ek naye gul ke khilne ke liye
ya rab, main ab udana chahta hoon
phir bahar-e-hasti dekhne ke liye

haif! main bahut ro chuka hoon
jigar se bojh girane ke liye
main to kab ka mar gaya hoon
ek nayi zindagi jeene ke liye

Chahah ke bhi...

chahah ke bhi tu mujhe nahi milta
har ek ko aapna pasbaan nahin milta

dabaye bethe hain sabhi armaan kitne
har kissi ko aapna razdaar nahin milta

hai kashmakash mein yeh zindagi meri
mujhe kahin ruh-e-sukoon nahi milta

nikal kar khoo-e-jigar se us ke dard ko
mujhe us se kyon phir bhi ijat nahin milta

hain hakim yahan bahut illaj karte hue
mujhe kisi dava se ab chain nahin milta

kazi de chalein hain kuch illm mujhko
is illm se bhi mujhe khuda nahin milta

karta hoon ab but-parasti main yahan
par bheed mein uska tasavur nahin milta

be_abroo hote hain har dafa hum to magar
uske kuche se door koi chirag nahin milta

jalane ke liye hai Kapil gubaar kitana
khaak ke liye do gaz kapada nahin milta

chahah ke bhi tu mujhe nahi milta
har ek ko aapna pasbaan nahin milta

nahin hoti

is ranj-o-gum se nikalne ki aas nahin hoti
tere bina jeene ki kabhi pyaas nahin hoti

hai aftaab sar chada, par roshni nahin hoti
jaane kyon is andhere se dosti nahin hoti
hain bas ab kuch parchaiyan mujhe dikhati
par parchaiyon se ab mohobbat nahin hoti

is ranj-o-gul se nikalne ki aas nahin hoti
tere bina jeene ki kabhi pyaas nahin hoti

thi kitni hasseen kal raat ki woh tanhai
afssos haseen raat mein kayamat nahin hoti
raat rooth kar chala chand mujhse se door
kya karien, chandaani se dillagi nahin hoti

is ranj-o-gul se nikalne ki aas nahin hoti
tere bina jeene ki kabhi pyaas nahin hoti

hai yeh jigar mera kya kisi samandar se kum
behati hain nadiyan par pyaas kam nahin hoti
aur aur ke mere is hassen khayal-e-gul mein
ab kisi dariya ki koi shaksiyat nahin hoti

is ranj-o-gul se nikalne ki aas nahin hoti
tere bina jeene ki kabhi pyaas nahin hoti

hai kuch ajeeb sa dard to mere andar bhara
janata hoon har dard ki intihaan nahin hoti
na jeeta kabhi is tarah se marne ke liye
agar tassavur se bhari khwabgaha nahin hoti

is ranj-o-gul se nikalne ki aas nahin hoti
tere bina jeene ki kabhi pyaas nahin hoti

yunhi nahin dikhati..

yunhi nahin dikhati hai yeh adaayagi teri
koi wajah hai jo nahin udati khaak teri
toot ke mit gayin hain jahan zindagani kayi
wahan dekho, buland hai shakhsiyat teri

yunhi nahin dikhati hai yeh adaayagi teri
koi wajah hai jo nahin udati khaak teri

sab bad chale chod ke purani galiyan sari
roshan hai aaj tak bas ek chowkhat teri
jane kitne hi buton ke hubab dikhen yahan
mitati nahin but-khane se haisiyat teri

yunhi nahin dikhati hai yeh adaayagi teri
koi wajah hai jo nahin udati khaak teri

nahin milti hai humien aisi seerat jaanib
jaisi hai ab rukhsaar ki raunak teri
kaha milti hai sardi ki yeh dhoop aisi
jaisi khili dikhti hai aaj tabiyat teri

yunhi nahin dikhati hai yeh adaayagi teri
koi wajah hai jo nahin udati khaak teri

chirag-e-jashn to bahut dikhe hain humko
jo na dikhi kabhi, woh thi soorat teri
masSla-e-hashr to Kapil NA yeh tha kabhi
janata tu jo hoti hashiye pe shikayat teri

yunhi nahin dikhati hai yeh adaayagi teri
koi wajah hai jo nahin udati khaak teri

its again time for my winter drool

Breeze is light, pleasant and cool
its time for clouds and sun to befool
time to hit the markets and buy wool
for we just passed the air of linalool

about to hit this years summer's mool
and take last few dips in suns pool
time again to pack all tanning tool
say good bye to monsoon's whirlpool

as all kids start to pack for school
parents start and create a van-pool
again we enjoy choir with faldstool
and just snow and ice in swimming pool

for once the heat is all in cesspool
all wall mats back on their spool
its again time for my winter drool
its again time for my winter drool

Na Mil Mujhse...

na mil mujhse ke woh ruswa hota hai
dekh insaan se bhi khuda juda hota hai

tere iradon mein kuch na ho to kya
aaj judaa mujhse mera yaar hota hai

na kar gilla mujhse aye dost mere
par tere hone se ek parda hota hai

ab milenge gairoon ki tarah tujhse
tere milne se woh ab aag hota hai

yeh hai begairat harkat to meri par
kyon dorahe pe hi khada hota hai

hai khata badi yeh meri to tu kyon
meri is khata pe lachaar hota hai

le aya kis haal pe dosti ko aapni
meri is kamzoori pe tu kyon rota hai

nikale jo bazaar se to na dekh mujhko
is nazar se Kapil sharamsar hota hai

Saath ho kar...

saath ho kar bhi woh mera na hua
kafir main khuda ka na hua

Zid karke hamesha saath rehne ki
aaj woh mere rubaru na hua

chala tha ghar se doosri aur main
door mujhse ghar phir bhi na hua

karta gaya roz khata pe khata main
aur kabhi woh zalim ruswa na hua

aaj biyan kiya jo izhaar usse
baada aage jaise main hi na hua

dosti ka har dum dum-bharke
aaj woh mera gumnashin na hua

deta hai saaza mujhko woh
gunah waisa kissi se na hua

jal ke jalwa dikha chuka hoon
chirag phir bhi mera na hua

tu chirag-e-jashan manata hai aise
ki din mein kabhi aftaab na hua

aur hai raat ka charcha aisa
ki kabhi chand ka bhi na hua

badalte dekha hai aise rang uska
kabhi aisa kisi shaam ka na hua

Clouds gone

Clouds gone, the sun shines bright
gloom of darkness dispelled by light
bright flowers, gardens all in sight
let my mind fly, attain desired height

for all we know the schedules tight
few charts to prepare on slides, white
some battles won, some wars to fight
but there is no string for mind's kite

am just a fallen warrior, a used knight
waiting for other pawns to now alight
all I hear is things are just alright
but i know, i have to catch my flight

Its never about whats wrong or right
its neither about anyone's worse plight
all things need is some bit of oversight
and a sound sleep at the hour of mid night.

Good Night

jo dikhate nahin

jo dikhate nahin, woh khabon mein milte hain
jo milke bhi nahin milte, dard bada dete hain

mariz-e-mohobaat bhi ab, humein gum dete hain
marz na mite to kya, khud hi ko mita dete hain

iltaja se poocho, woh kaisi guzarish karte hain
zindagi se nahin milte aur marne ki kehte hain

hai yeh har dil ka yakin, ki sab dard uske hain
aur hai har raat ko gumaan ki chand aapne hain

chal hum basar ki hum bhi tujse dosti karte hain
par na kar chaand se rawangi, woh dard dete hain

har bagh ko kuch phhol hi aapna rang dete hain
mere dil ko tere lafz bas ab dard dete hain

aye dard mahek ja, ki woh ab yahi chahate hain
kapil ke gulshan mein, bas gum hi khilte hain

dhuan uthata hai...

dhuan uthata hai yahan, jab aag jalti hai,
rakh banti hai, phir bhi hain roshini nahi.
hai haya usmein, aur woh moam sa jism uska
aise but ki kabhi hoti aag se dosti nahi

sisakti aag hai yeh kissi bade jungle ki
jismein milta jalta koi sukha pata nahi
silte hue se dhoonon ki bas utaran hai
yeh kisi dhadhakti lao ka koi raqqs nahi

hoon ghana badal aur bahut garajta bhi hoon
photata hoon aansoon par barasta main nahi
harsh pe samandar ke hi kabhi milte hain moti
na doob mujh-mein, ke yahan koi harsh hi nahi

katate haathon ke siwa kante kya denge tujhe
ki yahan koi phool, koi titali hai hi nahi
rang to bahut hai baandhata koi rang hi nahi
na baandh aapne mein, ke Kapil ab rukta nahi

Waqt

waqt ka kya yeh kisike liye jhukta nahin
aur ek tu hai jo waqt ko Kuch samajhta nahin
chala na tere saath ki kahin waqt ruswa jaye
par hum teri ruswai ke bhi kabil nahin.

rok do sab ghadiyaan phir bhi yeh rukta nahin
Hai gummaan kiska ke waqt sunta nahin
ruki hain aaj tak butkhane mein nabaz kitni
par itne par bhi yeh therta nahin

kya chahiye isko jo isse kabhi milta nahin
bechain ruh sa yeh tikta nahin
samane uske iltaja karein to kya karein iss_se
ki hashr~ par bhi kissi_ko milta nahin

mila mujkho do ghadi ka kabhi ye waqt nahin
aur ek pal diya tune bhi nahin
ab iltaja karien to hum karien kis se
sunta Kapil ki dono mein koi nahin

Ruke hain aaj...

ruke hain teri mehfil mein
phir bhi kuch kaha na gaya
jo zakhm diya tha rista raha
aur yeh mera dil jalta gaya

aarzoo-e-khuld na thi humein
phir bhi woh yeh ilmm de gaya
justajoo-e-yaar bas thi humein
aur yaar hi raquib keh~ gaya

be_abroo hum huye hain aise,
charcha bazaar mein badta gaya.
yeh vaqaya ab na jane kyon,
har zuban par chadta gaya

mere qatil ki adaa to dekho
qatal karne se hi mukur gaya
jo poocha khoo-e-jigar ka raaz
mooh mod kar aage chala gaya

hum pade the kuche par uske
aur woh humein but bana gaya
kya umeed ab rang-on ki us se
jo humein beraang chod gaya

sare bazaar mein ibadat ka
kaisa woh yeh silla de gaya
sajade mein the khade uske
aur woh mujhko hi kuchal gaya.

kaise kahein aur usko hum
dard ab had se badata gaya
na kar berukhi mujhse aye dost
ki kapil yahan se chalta gaya.
