Na Qubool hai hum
Na hai humse Aitraaz
Na Ro Rahe hain hum
Na Le Rahe hain Saans .
Na Jane humse Ishq hua hai
Ya hua hai koi Gunha
Izhaar to kar Diya Maine
Par Shayad tumne na Suna .
Kyun mujhe Zinda laash bana Rahi ho ?
Na bol Rahi ho , na Chhupa Rahi ho.
Shayad tum Doori ki raha dikha Rahi ho
Phir lagta hai tum Faasle mita Rahi ho.
Jo pal bhar karke batein tum Prem ki
Phir kahin Gumnaam ho jati ho.
Tumhari chahat ki is Bhaag-dowd Mein,
Mere Pyaar ke saath tum Khel rahi ho.
Nasamajh to tha mai kabse
Ab tum pagal bana rahi ho
Iss Pyaar-Ishq ke uljhan me tum
uljhe hue ko uljha rahi ho.
Khuda Maaf kare tumko
Tum Aag ko Aag se mita rahi ho.
Aisi Manzil ho tum jo Haasil na ho toh khed hai,
Aapsi-manzoori ke siwa na duja iska koi bhed hai .
Nakaam iss rishte ko suljhakar koi Naam do.
Dil Mein chhupi Baat ab Ek Saans Mein bol bhi do
Ab bata bhi do Iraada tumhara
Ye Mannat tumse karta hoon
Haan kaho to thik hai
Nahi to khush Raho Mein chalta hoon.

Grow well , grow vigorous
For the land is fertile,the soil more porous.
Sink in your roots, in the soil, go deep.
Stand your ground firm, when comes the time of the reap
Suck in all the light, grow green, grow your best.
Flower in your youth, be golden in harvest .
Give it your all, as if it were your last chance.
You won't be getting rehersals, your life's not a dance.
Face the harsh truth, oh sun-kissed field
Your worth will be deemed, by how much you yield.
I'm Afraid, I must leave you now
Dear sun-kissed fields,
The sun is setting on me.
Wish I had more time to spare,
Been sparing it all for free.
Farewells and adieus,
I hope to see you again.
Let's see if the story continues,
Or maybe I'll meet my bane.

Sitting in the shade,
By the sun-kissed fields .
Sighs the broken traveller,
Smoking the wild weeds.
"And who might you be, Sir?"
Asks a worried plant.
Laughs it off, the stranger,
Says, "Well, from where should I start ?"
Not long ago, was I a seed myself .
Living my dreams, till the clock struck twelve.
Then came the storm with all its wind,
& Blew away my dreams, among many other things.
Now Here I am, sitting in the shade
By the sun-kissed fields.
Agonised by my past,
Yet wondering where the future leads
Sitting in the shade
By the sun-kissed fields,
Expiating my guilts, in the dark
In the light , rejoicing my glorious deeds.
Sometimes I wonder, fields
You must be quite fortunate.
No life full of miseries & misfortunes
No thoughts full of regret.
