Shayari bunne waali zubaan,
Ab formulas ratte hain.
Kaagazon mein apna dil behlaane waale haath,
Ab projects likhte hain.
Jo dill azzad udd, kitaabe likhte the,
Aaj wahi kitaabon ke bojh tale dabe hain.
Jo aankhein sapne dekhna ko bane the,
Ab raat raat undekhe sapnon ke liye jaagte hain.
Jo pair duniyaa dekhne ko taraste the,
Ab classes se tuitions tak ke chakkar kaantein hain.
Fankaar toh kayi aaye aur chale gaye
Kayi sayariyaan suni unsuni reh gayi
Kayi kahaaniyan kahi unkahi reh gayu
Kayi gaane apni awaaj tak naa dhoond paaye.
Kuch samaajh ke bojh tale dab gaye
Kuch kitaabon ke bojh tale.
Par bhala kyun kisse koi farak pare
Fankaaron ki kadra kyun kare,
Akhir...
"Sharma ji ke bete ko 98% aaye hain"
Bas yuhi sapne dab gaye
Yuhi zindagiyaan katt gayi.
Kayi baatein unkahi reh gayi
Kayi sapne undekhe reh gaye.
Sarkaari naukari ka zamana hain sahab,
Yaha dil ki baatein nahi, dil ka ilaaj hota hain.
Amirron ka zamana hain, meri jaan,
Yaha sapnon ke peeche nahi bhaagte,
sapne khareede jaate hain.
Bhalaa kyun kisse koi farak pare
Fankaaron ki kadra kyun kare
Dubbed "The Prince Motown." Late, great soul singer Marvin Gaye
Brought "Sexual Healing." His star shone as bright as a noon sunray.
In song asked "What's going on?": life cut short by estranged father.
Hit-making behemoth, he'd be even bigger had his career gone farther.
Jo Dil Me Hai Unhe Dil Me Hi Rehne Diya Jaaye To Zahoor Hai.
"Jo dil mein hain unhein dil mein hi rehne diya jaaye toh
Zahoor hai.
Dil se aage gaye toh fasaad hi hona hai.
Jo kehna hai, ishaaron mein kaho,
Zubaan khuli toh, malaal hi hona hai.
Dil mein hai woh aapke,
Toh dil mein hi rakhiyen na, yun baat aage badhaakar
Bawaal hi hona hai".
Gham-e-Ishq Mein Haara Hua Panchhi
Main apnon ka maara hua panchhi
Raahay manzil ka pata aik shikari se pooch ke
Main aik naye pinjray mein phansaya hua panchhi
Meri hurmat ka imtihan hai, aur daanay hain kam
Main maalik ka sataya hua panchhi
Chaar din ki hai zindagi, teen guzar gaye pinjray mein
Main apni taqdeer ka rulaya hua panchhi
Chehchahane se main thaka nahi, lekin chup hoon
Zang alood salakhon mein chhupaya hua panchhi
Dhoop aur barish mein dekh leta hoon aksar
Main neend se bedaar karaya hua panchhi
Lagta hai umr poori ho gayi shayad
Main pinjray se bahar uraya hua panchhi
Thandi hawa aur burhapa mera
Main aik shaakh pe baitha murjhaya hua panchhi
Toofaan hai zyada, na ghar hai koi
Main doosray panchhiyon ka khaya hua panchhi
Ye bijli ki taar hai, oonchi mehfooz bhi
Main har maut mara maraya hua panchhi
Kyun tu accha lagta hai,
tere deedar se yeh dil dhadakta hai,
Kya hai ye taluq hamara,
waqt mila toh sochenge.
Jo alfaz khamoshi mai chhup gaye,
jo khwab adhoore reh gaye,
Woh kaise bayaan honge,
waqt mila toh sochenge.
Teri muskaan ka jaadu,
kyun chand se milta jata hai,
Kya raaz chhupa in aankhon mai,
waqt mila toh sochenge.
Dil ke har ek kone main,
sirf tera hi zikr kyun hai,
Kya hai yeh junoon ,teri hi fikr kyun hai,
kabhi waqt mila toh sochenge.
Shab-e-tanhai ke lamhon main,
ya subah ke narm saaye main,
Kaun hai jo khayal ban jaata hai,
waqt mila toh sochenge.
Teri aankhon ki gehrayiyon main,
kya chand ki roshni basi hai,
Kya hai yeh noor-e-husn,
waqt mila toh sochenge.
Zindagi ke is hijr-o-wasl main,
kaun apna, kaun begana hai,
Is mohabbat ka haqiqi matlab,
waqt mila toh sochenge.
Dil ki dhadkanon ka sabab,
ye saanson ka silsila hai kya aakhir,
Jo uske deedar se tham jaati hain,
kabhi waqt mila toh sochenge.
Teri baaton ke sahil pe, khayalon ki lehar aaye,
Dil ki yeh beqarari , tujhe kaise samjhayen?
Mohabbat ka fasana hai, ya khwab hai adhoora sa,
Jo bhi hai yeh afsana, waqt mila toh sochenge.
Guzar ta nahi ye shaam-e-gham
Zindagi ke dukhon ka hai peham sitam
Qadam qadam par thakan ka pehra
Himaton ke chiragh bhi ho gaye madhham
Musaafir hoon raahon ka jin ko khabar
Manzilon ka saraab hai, dil ka maatam
Khawab jo bune the, reza reza huye
Haath khaali rahe, na raha koi dum
Sawaal ye hai, aye falak-e-jafa
Kitna aur sehna hai, bata ye sanam
Guzar jaye ye shaam-e-gham kisi tarah
Warna raah mein bikhar jayein hum
Our old fashioned kitchen ways,
way before the modern malaise,
those family favourite, radio days,
Swinging Blue Jeans, Johnny Ray,
Martha Reeves and Marvin Gaye,
those sentimental songs they played.
Our old fashioned kitchen ways,
without plastic meals from trays,
those salad days of mayonnaise,
with fablon coated, hollandaise,
and chicken roasted, lyonnaise,
experimental honey glaze.
Our old fashioned kitchen ways,
mum singing songs of praise,
inside that gravy, misted haze,
where memories are still replayed,
Cilla Black to Doby Gray,
the soundtrack of our yesterdays.
U gujarna ab raaste pe badla badla sa lagta hai
Wo najariyan logo ka ab kuch kehta hua rahta hai
Pata nahi kuy ab rishtedar ijjat dene lage hai
Wo dost jo yaad tak nahi krte the aaj haal samachar aur sahuliat puchne lage hai
Wo karibi jo pata nahi kharab waqt me lupt ho gaye the aaj fir karib ho gaye hai
Wo samaaj jo haste the pata nahi ab haskar dusro ki baatein karne lag gaye hai!!
Karwa sach yah hai ki in sabke badlaav ke piche hai wah chij jise log kai nam se pukarte hai
Kabhi wah dhan, to kabhi paisa, to kabhi rupaye, kabhi sampati to kabhi daulat se jante hai
Naya rang aaya zindagi mein jab se maal-o-daulat mili
Har chera muskurata hai, har aankh lage hai mili-juli!!
Par socho zara, jo apno se juda ho gaye the kabhi
Woh kya sach mein apne hain ya sirf banaye hue sabhi
Samay ka chakkar aisa hai, kal jo tha woh kal nahi
Dhan ka mooh kala hai, pyar se badi koi pal nahi!!
Karwa sach to yah v hai janab, bhago aap is ke piche
Par dekhna kahi apne na chut jaye aur kuch atut riste na tut jaye
Rishton ki jamapunji ko hatho se sareaam kar do
Khudgarz duniya ke najar mein apno ko anjaan kar do!!

(Ruaumoko Remix)
Had the nerve to wear this
yes I grunt cause
I'm amazed
got me striking up conversations
leaving me wondering
Like I'm in a daze
makes me think bout
what her man
was thinking
Letting moozy round
dressed that way
aint no shame in
what I'm
Thinking
try to get that woman
to look my way
you my everything
my all and all
got her phone number
waited for her to call
we making plans
to get it on
told me to
download
all my favorite songs
got sum New edition
some Marvin Gaye
let "live rock us away
aint no sunshine when she gone
she's Insacable
she the Only One
Woman I wonder
where your Man
could be
just tonight
you'll be with me
try to get it
so we can part as friends
cause when other find out
where and wiff who I'd
been
they'll start that comparsion Sh$t
say I can get that
if he could get it
than we be
in brawls and spats
learned to let it go
keep it where it's at
I aint jivein on this
said I...
I aint Jivin on this!
The thing he calls heart
Man’s for long lost beyond trace
For lifelong to part.
What heaves in his hollow case
Keeps him alive, runs dead cart.

I remembered sex and it resurrected Marvin Gaye
And I thought this a little fair a little unfair
But this let us leave for my red question for you,
Quite solid and rather out of the blue:
About the completely overmastered by love,
Soon breathless at some bridal shop for the innocent Dove
And it just as soon yielded An Officiating Priest
And its breathless screaming feast;
For six blissful hours never ceased…
Now, should The Joined that day start exchanging fire
And all night try to never tire,
Making grinding emotions of the raw
A Gulf-War-Recreating War…
Love I should your honest spiritual feeling
If ur be a bit spiced with Gaye’s Sexual Healing.
Bheed me kyu chale jaaye
Bakriyo ki jaat thodi hai
Sab bakre ban gaye hai
Hum wo jamaat thodi hai
~adilshahbadegha
How can you treat me so evil. Believe me when I say this earth is lethal. In all his glory he made this world but you tore down a loving soul. More then gold I was worth to you and yet you wanted a pleasure fool. I shed my deepest concerns that I pray that you don’t perish and pridefully burn. You were someone who was special to me. I tried to make us work and help you see. God has the last say that his righteous judge will have its way. God Bless everyone and repent for the kingdom of God is at hand!
