Tum aur Main

Ret main ban jaunga, O Sanam,
Tum ek lahar banke ana,
Bharna mujhe aise baahon mein,
Apne sang lekar jana

Ishq ki, gehrayi ka, andaza tha na mujhe,
Darr hai, k dooba hun, main ab tere pyar mein

Kyun na tum aur main, bann jayen hum
Kyun na tum aur main, bann jayen hum

Waqt main bann jaunga O sanam,
Tum ek lamha banke ana,
Tujh mein main phir beet jaun,
Tum bhi mujh mein guzar jana

Tera yeh, jo saath hai, ek alag sa ehsaas hai
Zindagi, bitani hai, par ab tujh bin nahi

Kyun na tum aur main, bann jayen hum
Kyun na tum aur main, bann jayen hum

Meri ruh jaisi tu, ban mera sahara
Tera dil hi toh hai, mera kinara
Ban meri parchayi tu,
Kabhi mera, sath na chod jana

Jab roothegi tu, toh mana lunga main,
Bin kuch kahe tujhe, seene se laga lunga main

Kyun na tum aur main, bann jayen hum
Kyun na tum aur main, bann jayen hum

Tujhe Chahne ka...

Main bechen sa rehta hun,
Tu rahat jaisi lagti hai,
Khota hoon jab sapnon mein,
Tu andar mere jagti hai

Tuhi soch hai har subah meri,
Tujh se hi meri sham hai,
Yeh kaisa rishta hai k,
Har saans pe sirf tera naam hai

Tujhe chahne ka, hi toh jurm kiya tha,
Pal pal tadapne ki, tune saza de di…

Tum jitna soch nahin sakte,
Utni mohabbat karte hain,
Tum dikho ya na dikho fir bhi,
Didar tera hi karte hain

Na chand ki hai ab chahat,
Na hai taro ki farmaish,
Har janm mein tum hi milo mujhe,
Bas itni si hi hai khawaish…

Tujhe chahne ka, hi toh jurm kiya tha,
Pal pal tadapne ki, tune saza de di…

Wada hai jab tak jinda hain,
Sirf tujhko hi chaahenge
Dil se tumhe pyaar karte hain,
Poore dil se hi hum nibhaayenge,

Tujhe chahne ka, hi toh jurm kiya tha,
Pal pal tadapne ki, tune saza de di…
Ek baar tu aake, mera haath thaam le, 

Yeh dhadkanein chalti hain, ab tere naam se.

Tu Pehla Pehla Pyar

Deewanon sa, haal hai mera,
Kaisa jaadu yeh, tune kiya,

Kyun mujhe, tum satati ho,
Aake mere khwabon mein,
Dil par na, ab zor hai,
Kho gaya hun teri yaadon mein,

Tu pehla pehla pyar mera, Tu hi iqraar mera,
Tere bin main kaise jiyun,
Tere khayaalon mein, Raaton ko jagun main,
Chain na hai, na hai sukun.

Chadh jaye to, utarta nhi,
Ye ishq bhi, nashe se kam nhi,

Yeh kaisi, khwahish hai,
Mit ti hi nahi,
Ji bhar k tujhe dekhun main,
Nazar phir bhi hat ti nahi

Tu pehla pehla pyar mera, Tu hi iqraar mera,
Tere bin main kaise jiyun,
Tere khayaalon mein, Raaton ko jagun main,
Chain na hai, na hai sukun.

Dhunde tujhe, meri nazar,
Rehti nahin, mujhe apni khabar,

Uljha rehta hun sawaalon mein,
Kab sath honge hum,
Phir iss qadar tujhe, pyar karun,
K yeh zindagi lage kam.

Tu pehla pehla pyar mera, Tu hi iqraar mera,
Tere bin main kaise jiyun,
Tere khayaalon mein, Raaton ko jagun main,
Chain na hai, na hai sukun.

Child Within...

SONG VERSION :

Adulthood comes quickly,
That we don’t realise,
Inner child gets lost on the way,
As the years go by.

When we’re young, we wanna grow up fast,
Our innocence fades away, and won’t forever last.

The time that is gone,
Will not be back again...

Looking down the memory lanes,
Those joyful days and fights on games,
We never value, what they meant
And miss them later to repent.

Time slips through our hands, like grains of sand,
Why don’t we grow up, like we had always planned?

The time that is gone,
Will not be back again... 

How I wish, I could go back in time,
Live this life again, that childhood which was mine
Why am I so helpless, I wonder in pain,
When the Child Within craves, to grow up again…

The time that is gone,
Will not be back again...

ORIGINAL POEM VERSION:

Adulthood came so quickly, I didn’t realise,
Now,with my while coat and stethoscope,I look very wise,
But the child in me didn’t grow up,as time went by,
I searched within,now I know the reasons why…

How I wish I could go back in time,
Live this life again,that childhood,which was mine
Wish it had more colours,I wonder in pain,
So helpless I’m to that child, which craves to grow up again…

This is the irony of life…When we’re kids , we yearn to grow up quickly…run behind success, money, materialistic things, etc….and when we finally step into that phase of our lives and look back in time, how we wish we had never grown up…. :-(

A Prayer

Dedicated to God - My strength, my teacher, everything that means to me in life.

It was written in September 2009, when I was going through a very rough patch during my MBBS. Through these few lines, I just wanted to thank HIM from the bottom of my heart for adding some colours back again to my life (then)…I had really forgotten to smile, fighting.

When I was helpless, you went to hide
There was no one, by my side
Was there a reason, I needed that help
Fighting the odds, all by myself.

Down my cheeks, the tears rolled
As time went by, I was growing old
But faith remained in my heart,
You’d come back...

I say a prayer, for you,
Show me a way, what to do,
I say a prayer for you,
You're all I need, that's true.

I was so numb, lonely inside,
With shattered dreams, no one to guide,
I kept pretending, in a false mask
Where would life lead, is all I asked.

To prove again, that I was right,
You held my hand, in this fight,
By my side, always you stay
Don’t let go ever….

I say a prayer, for you,
Show me a way, what to do,
I say a prayer for you,
You're all I need, that's true, that's true.

The Hope Within

                                       

They said - Don’t aim too high
It hurts when your dreams are broken
I said - I want to fly the sky
And spread my wings out wide.

Life is too short to worry about what others think,
In the end, it doesn’t even matter,
Never give up on hope is all I say,
Coz miracles happen every day.

They said - Don’t go deep in the ocean
You might also drown like many others
I said - I wanna to be the guiding light
And leave my footprints on the shore.

Life is too short to worry about what others think,
In the end, it doesn’t even matter,
Never give up on hope is all I say,
Coz miracles happen every day.

Not concerned about what they said
I walked alone and found my path
Now they follow me behind and shout
We always said this boy would win.

Life is too short to worry about what others think,
In the end, it doesn’t even matter,
Never give up on hope is all I say,
Coz miracles happen every day.

I want to Break Free

Standing… in the path of adversities,
I am sick to bear, all this
The rebel in me is telling me,
I don’t give a damn now,
I am a free spirit,
I wanna break free…

From the clutches of money,
From the punches of time,
From these winding roads,
And life’s thunderbolts

This shower is pouring hard on me
Trying to burn me to ashes
I have seen it all before
And gone through all the clashes

I wanna break free, wanna break free
I wanna break free, wanna break free

From the rat race,
From being out of place,
From my broken desires,
Help me, my hearts is on fire,

Why worry about the future,
Why weep for the past,
Why ignore the present,
And lose on time which runs so fast…

I wanna break free, wanna break free
I wanna break free, wanna break free

The Last Wish - Please Come Back

It has been more than 11 years now that I have been working in the Accident & Emergency (A&E) Department. 

Time and again I see instances where an equally old husband/wife comes all alone with their old ailing spouse, a patient who requires an ICU admission, a quick decision to be put on a ventilator, get thrombolysed for a stroke, be immediately taken to Cath Lab for a heart attack or to the OT for emergency surgery. On further inquiry, the picture becomes clear that their children are well settled abroad, leaving the old couple back home to fend for themselves, only sending them money for their existence.

Many times I have myself spoken on phone to the son/daughter of the patient, staying thousands of miles away, briefing them of their parent’s condition and receiving the same reply, “Please go ahead do your best, whatever it takes. Don’t worry about the cost of the treatment & the investigations.” Seldom have I heard anyone say, “Doctor, you proceed, we will be there soon.” It really hurts me to the core…. At the end of the day, I feel that the only people who can leave everything behind (for want of money/better quality of life) and never look back at their own parents, are those who are selfish and self-centred.

With the following few lines, I have only tried to bring out the pain, the feeling and the thought process of such a patient lying on the bed, right before my eyes in my A&E.

I’m weak now, I can’t even walk,
You became all busy, with no time to talk,
Education gave you wings, I showed you the way,
Our life is difficult now, alone we stay,
Please come back… Please come back

The money you sent, few phone calls you made,
Never made us happy, wish together we stayed,
Not playing with your kids, not meeting your wife,
What wrong did we do, to deserve such a life?
Please come back… Please come back

I fight to breathe now, with pain in my chest,
Remembering old times, I did my best,
I might die soon, do you really bother?
After I’m gone, who' ll look after your mother,
Please come back… Please come back

These tubes and pipes on me, really make me think,
Wish I could see you all, and not even blink,
In my dying moments, by my bedside you stand,
Consider it’s my last wish, come hold my hand,
Please come back... Please come back

O Re Sathi - The Friendship Song

O Re sathi,

Kahan kho gye woh din
Aao phir jeelen,
Woh pal jo beete tum bin
Koi Shikwa nahi, wahi dhadkanein, umeed
Koi Shikwa nahi, wahi dhadkanein, umeed

Bhule kya, gale lag k,
Jo Bachpan k pal the guzare
Aisi yaari thi, k socha tha,
Beech honge na koi fasle
Shikayat nahi, gila bhi nahi, tumse
Shikayat nahi, gila bhi nahi, tumse

Dosti ka, aisa rishta tha,
Tarane nadani bhare the,
Na bandhan tha, Na fikren thi,
Roothe ko manate the
Koi Shikwa nahi, wahi dhadkanein, umeed
Koi Shikwa nahi, wahi dhadkanein, umeed

Yaad hai kya, tumne maine,
Na bichadne k wade kiye the,
Sath honge, sukh dukh mein,
Juda na kabhi honge
Shikayat nahi, gila bhi nahi, tumse
Shikayat nahi, gila bhi nahi, tumse

O Re sathi,
Kahan kho gye woh din
Aao phir jeelen,
Woh pal jo beete tum bin
Koi Shikwa nahi, wahi dhadkanein, umeed
Koi Shikwa nahi, wahi dhadkanein, umeed

Dust of Time.

The days of joy, the nights of fun,
It looked so pretty watching everyone,
Every moment spent together was fine,
Soon they’ll disappear, in the dust of time
Soon they’ll disappear, in the dust of time

I was by your side when you were in fear,
You all hugged me when I shed my tears,
In my setbacks you’d look so divine,
Wish you’re spared, by the dust of time
Wish you’re spared, by the dust of time

Soon we move away, get far a mile,
Gone are old days and gone is our smile,
Distance will shorten of yours and mine,
If memories are clean, from the dust of time,
If memories are clean, from the dust of time

Then life welcomes us on the road to jerks,
Years pass by while we’re at work,
The clock still ticking and we move on,
Without our notice, the time is gone,
Lost in the dust of time, somewhere in the dust of time,

The day you’re left alone, your heart in pain,
You wish those days back again,
Don’t search too far through the hue,
Look behind your shoulder, I'll be there for you
Through the dust of time, through the dust of time.

I'll be there for you, through the dust of time

Mile Sur Mera Tumhara....

On occasion of World Kidney Day today, sharing a small jingle that I had written for a NGO - Women for Nephrology, dedicated to creating social awareness on prevention of Kidney Diseases and organ Donation.

Mile sur mera tumhara,
Toh sur bane hamara

Awareness kidney disease ki, har disha se
Behke logon tak, pahuche

Diabetes, BP, Smoking control se,
CKD ruke, halke halke

Mile sur mera tumhara,
toh sur bane hamara

Sandesh angdaan ka, Marne k baad,
Hum se logon mein, faile

Transplant ka, roop lekar,
CKD se, theek ho, badte badte

Mile sun mera tumhara,
toh sur bane hamara

Majhya Tumchya Julta Tara
Madhur Suranchya Barasti Dhara (Marathi)

Tomaar Shoor Moder Shoor
Srishti Koroor Koi Ekshoor (Bangla)

Male Sur Jo Taro Maro,
Bane Aapno Sur Niralo (Gujrati)

Tera Sur Mile Mere Sur De Naal
Milke Bane Ek Nava Surtal (Punjabi)

Mile sun mera tumhara,
toh sur bane hamara...

Kal se Daru Band Hai...

Madhoshi mein kho gaya yaaron,
Zindagi ke rang mein,
Khafa na ho oo meri jaanu,
Tu jo itni tang hai...

Kal se daaru band hai...
Kal se daaru band hai....

Tu jo mere sang hai,
Angaron pe ang hai,
Teri jo pasand hai,
Chodunga par jung hai...

Kal se daaru band hai...
Kal se daaru band hai....

Yaaron se keh dunga main,
Ab party khatam hai,
Chakna bottle le jayenge,
Tu jo itna dang hai...

Kal se daaru band hai...
Kal se daaru band hai....

Peele de na oo meri baby,
Dost mein chand hain,
Tere liye main jiyunga kal se,
Adat ab yeh bhang hai...

Kal se daaru band hai...
Kal se daaru band hai....

O Re Parinde

O re parinde, chal udd ja re tu,
O re parinde, chal udd ja re tu

Yahan hai koi nahi jo,
Samajhe teri udaan ko,
Aasman ko chune tu bana,
Aasman ko chune tu bana.

O re parinde, chal udd ja re tu,
O re parinde, chal udd ja re tu

Tanhayi ka hath thamke,
Chun le tu apni rah ko,
Manzil kare hai tera intezar,
Manzil kare hai tera intezar.

O re parinde, chal udd ja re tu,
O re parinde, chal udd ja re tu

Sapnon ki jeet hamesha,
Hoti hai khudke shram se,
Hare kyun tu bhala,
Kyun Haar mane bhala.

Chal udd ja tu...jaa udd ja re,
Duniya ko....tu Dikhlade

O re parinde, chal udd ja re tu,
O re parinde, chal udd ja re tu...

Love forever.

The following is the romantic modified version (on the same tune) of Band Ignition's famous song 'Manzil'.

Manzil tu, chahat bhi

Aakhon mein tu hai basi…

Jeene ki, asha tu

Tere bin kya zindagi…

Lets believe in our dreams, you will be mine

In my arms you stay, all things will be fine

Let us join our hands and pray for the best

Leave our sorrows behind and God will do the rest.

Tera liye dil dhadakta, tumhe hai pata

Tu hai meri jaane jana sabko de bata

Lets believe in our dreams, you will be mine

In my arms you stay, all things will be fine

Let us join our hands and pray for the best

Leave our sorrows behind and God will do the rest.

Bharosa hai mujhko bahut tujhpe

Tune sapne dikhaye mujhe,

Tu roye toh aakhon se aasun nikle,

Aaja bahon mein lag ja gale…

Tere bin main akela, jiya bhi na jaye

Tu hai meri Soni, yeh jaan le sabhi

Bhara josh dil mein, ek khwab hum sajaye

Chahe lakh tufan aaye, Daren hum naa kabhi

Lets believe in our dreams, you will be mine

In my arms you stay, all things will be fine

Let us join our hands and pray for the best

Leave our sorrows behind and God will do the rest.

I'd love to love you.

Tanha hun main, tere bin

Sochu tumhe, sara din
O meri....Jaane jaan,
Main tera Deewana

Aa meri baahon mein, Aa bhi jaa....
Yun naa mujhe tadpa, Yun naa mujhe tadpa

You take my breath away, In my arms you stay,
My world is complete, with the look in your eyes,
Sounds of your laughter, ringing in my ears,
You’re the one, I've waited for years.

Come to me, Baby I miss you, please come back
I’d love to love you, I’d love to love you.

Roothi tu, jabse hai
Sooni yeh palken hain
Aasun bhi tapke hain,
Meri inn akhiyon se

Aa meri baahon mein, Aa bhi jaa....
Yun naa mujhe tadpa, Yun naa mujhe tadpa.

I think of you, day and night,
Aura of your smile, shining bright,
Trust in me, I’m being true,
In love I’ve, fallen for you,

Come to me, Baby I miss you, please come back
I’d love to love you, I’d love to love you.

Yun naa mujhe tadpa, I’d love to love you,
Yun naa mujhe tadpa, I’d love to love you…

Rock On 2 title Track.

Ruki Ruki zindagi ki rahon mein
Hasin hain, khushi hain, tu hai, bahon mein
Koi gam na ho mere hathon mein rahejo tera haath

Janeja tu jo mere sath hai
Zindagi mein koi baat hai
Tere bin kahan mujhe chain bhi
Tere bin dil mein kahan jaan-jaan-jaan-jaan

Rock on...ooo...Rock on…ooo
Rock on...ooo...Rock on….

Let’s relive the fun we all had
Without Magic we always had been sad
This is one life, live your dream, c'mon
Go Rock on....

Teri nigahon se pyar hum pane ko
Aise kyun hain taraste
Basse ho dil mein tum aise
Din bhar hum hain taraste

Teri Nazar hai jaadu
Basi hai dil mein justju
Kya kahe tumhe dil ki yeh baat …

Rock on....ooo...Rock on
Rock on...ooo...Rock on….

Why did you break my heart?

What went wrong, I regret,
Guilty I feel, so upset,
Never thought, it would end like this,
You got back, is all I wished.

But why did you break my heart,
Why did you break my heart
Tell me why did you break my heart?
O Baby why did you break my heart.

By making me sad, what did you gain,
Never before was I so much in pain,
You went far, I was alone,
Opened my eyes, you were gone.

But why did you break my heart,
Why did you break my heart
Tell me why did you break my heart?
O Baby why did you break my heart.

I wanna see you so up close,
Get lost in those eyes, where my love froze,
Never again will things go bad,
I'll give back the smile, that you always had.

But why did you break my heart, 

Why did you break my heart
Tell me why did you break my heart?
O Baby why did you break my heart.

End of Ignition Band-Age

The following might have been the last original song performed by Band Ignition... but the dream remain unfulfilled... I miss the days of the IGNITION BAND-AGE... :-(

Looking down the memory lanes
The days of fun and fights on games
The time, that is gone
Will not be back again...

We loved to entertain, today and in past
Our hearts danced too, when you had a blast
Time simply passed, like sand in hand
Last goodbye from the Ignition Band...

Those days of joys and nights of fun
We're gonna miss you everyone
Time has come, for our new start
Hope you keep us deep in your heart.....

Life shared, Life lived.

The following is the anthem / song written for Narmada Kidney Foundation, a NGO associated with promotion of organ donation....surprisingly, it turned out to be my first studio recorded song ;-)

Today's the time, today's the platform
There is no tomorrow to choose from
Today's the time,
We are ready to donate our organs ?

Zaroorat hai ab, angon ki humko yahan
Marne ke baad, le jaoge tum kahan,
Kyun naa de inko zindagi kaa naam ?

Baat pate kii sunlo hamari ,
Ang daan karke, zindagi badalte hai hum,
Narmada Kidney Foundation..

Angon kaa, jo karte ho tum daan,
Mrityu mein de do jeevan daan,
Swarg milega,
Hai satya yeh.....

Aao, donors kaa de hum saath,
Recepients ke haaton mein haath,
Dil jaan se, unko salaam......

Kyun naa de inko inko zindagi kaa naam ?

Baat pate kii sunlo hamari ,
Ang daan karke, zindagi badalte hai hum,
Narmada Kidney Foundation,
Narmada Kidney Foundation....

The Intern Song.

Intern Intern mujhe bulate,
Phone karke subah uthate,
Collections se main toh pak gaya yaar...

Bhagne ke main bahane dhundta,
Housie Reg kii gaali sunta,
Flight mode pe mobile chodta yaar...

Angio daal ke pak gaya hoon,
CT scans se thak gaya hoon,
Torture kab tak jhelunga main yaar...

Personal kaam mujhse karwate,
Chai nashta hum hain laate,
Saale, paise dene se katrate yaar...

Co intern mera kamina,
Mushkil kar deta woh jeena,
Kaamchor externs aate kyun hain yaar...

Sikhne ko kuch milta nahin,
Mama banke phirta wahin,
Completion ko main toh marta yaar...

Kab hogi degree haath mein,
Jeb mein paise, stetho saath mein,
Uss din kaa toh intezar hai yaar....
