Lyrics:

Aksar meri ye umeed hai
Taqdeer ki shaid ye tanqeed hai
Agar dil se koi kareeb hai
Tou kya ye kafi nai hai

Kya bus itna yaqeen hai
Jannat aur aag ka kya koi beech hai
Agar hum se gillay hain
Tou kya lafzoon ki kami hai

Wafadar ab mushkil he idhar ho
Janwaroon se jo keytey ho alag ho
Aslay ki jaga kash kalam ho
Tou shaid ke koi farak ho

Zor kum aur kumzon iraday
Kum kar mujh se tu bataen
Kismet ke maray bicharay
Fitrat ke naray jo marain

Zara karo humse ikhtalaf 
Ghont dein ge gala, kat dein ge zaban
Kya jantay nahi humaray dil hain saaf
Par koi tou hogi

Zara karo humse ikhtalaf 
Ghont dein ge gala, kat dein ge zaban
Kya jantay nahi humaray khoon hain maaf
Par koi tou hogi

Kaalay badal bus utnay buray hain 
Jitna tum socho baray hain
Par mere hath tou dholay hain
Phir kyun ye upar kharay hain

Ainey se ao chalo baghain
Aks hain iss mein daronay
Kitnoon ko kitna peychanain
Koi tou hoon gi goungoon ki awazain

Fitrat Ke Naray

"And the truth is that most of these suicides are actually dead long before they pull the trigger," - David Foster Wallace.

Dead before the trigger pull
I'm taking home the higher road
The road that leads to certainty
What can I say, what can I mean

Hanging by a silver shroud
I hear the music getting loud
Children must not open doors
That have been closed forever more

I remember playing tag
I wasn't good at running fast
When I got caught I was sad
My friends could dodge the thinking cap

Let Us Not Stand on Ceremony Here Mr. Woon

eight is the number of the beast
open your eyes and see.
and seven the snakes in the trees
God only knows what that means
six is the times that I gave her the lie
and five is the truth of my courtier's cry
four will be felt when the time is right
and three is the crowd that’ll turn the tide
two will be forced to scream and shout
while one, well one, one, one, one.

I shall never let your black heart down.
so long as there's plenty to go around
Is that your brain on me
open your silly eyes and see
what thoughts and dreams
wax and wane
truth and perjury 
all the same
I testify that I’m not ashamed.
but I shall never let your black heart down.
so long as there's plenty to go around

Black Heart Down (8)

Heavy lies the crown
The king who wields the weapon
Yet cannot command without
A clown to run his kingdom

He'd take the banners down
And hope that in the end there
When his story's coming round
There will be words of wisdom
At least a word of welcome

Though perhaps devoid of sound
But someone must've said
Hey look! How heavy lies the crown!

Heavy lies the crown 
Upon the brow that furrows
Every time he puts it on
Though heavier sleeps the conscience 
Of the ego of the proud
A stroll there with the queen
To go survey the royal grounds
And look beside the courtiers

There are eyes that can be found
Eyes look but do not see
Appraise but cannot feel
That though light as light can be
Just how heavy lies the crown!

Heavy Lies The Crown

And you were right
it’s just the sun, it goes away 
I couldn’t wait

The sound in my head
a happy bed, too shrill I say
It couldn’t wait

Y’know it’s true 
a million moons are scratching space at their moonly pace
what can I say, they couldn’t wait.

And what of the pause
that came too late, an impressive phrase
you couldn’t wait to say what you had to say.

Yes, but it’s ok.
That’s what they say, whenever I say
I couldn’t wait.

An Unwelcome Stranger Sitting Behind Us Thinking

We had poisonous berries
Plucked under moonless skies.
Twice I have begged at the doorstep
There was never a voice inside

Crushed with a sable spoon, I
Drank deep what we prepared;
Softly, we moved to the courtyard,
Out where our shadows were paired

‘Come on,’ she says, ‘come on out of the fire;
My footsteps know to find me
I have never been so tired’
‘Come on,’ she says, ‘come on out of the fire;
My footsteps know to find me
I have never been asleep’

‘At least there is warmth here,’ I replied

Goldberry

Trees keep growing
even in the dark
My son sings of you
you stole his heart
Tore out my heartstrings
for a broken harp
But trees keep growing
even in the dark

Leave them alone
unheard unknown
Stories you told
a thousand years old

Scheherazade

Trees keep growing
even in the dark.

Lyrics:
Mujhay meri rah pe chor de
A meri ana se lar le
Mujhay mere gunna baksh de 
A meri saza bhi bhar de

Ati nai wo hath kabhi bhi
Jati nahi jo demagh se abhi abhi

Paisay ki tou wo bhi bhi dewani hai
Keyti hai ye tou bus jawani hai
Hum tou saray bus jawari hain

Abhi nai kabhi nai sabhi sahi ho saktay
Ghairoon ki batoon mein na tu ab dar ke

Kabhi nai howa juda tera khuda mere dil se 
Par agar shakal dekhaye kabhi tou mar jaon chayn se

Aur wo bolay mujh se kabhi kabhi
Marna tou tuney bhi hai 
A tou kareeb
Aur bhool apnay ghum abhi abhi 
Jhoom mere sang 
Mere aziz

Buzdil tou mein bhi hoon
Mumkin tou ye bhi hai
Naseeb mein wo lagti nahi hai
Apni khamion se jo haseen hai

Abhi nai kabhi nai sabhi sahi ho saktay
Ghairoon ki batoon mein na tu ab dar ke

Lyrics:
Nahi Samajh sakay yeh sahafiyo ka naya zamana,
Jo kamzor nikla uska hi tou ghar hai jalana,
Baray majboor hain woh jinho nay such ko nahi apnaya,
baray majboor hain hum mehnat say kya kuch nahi paya,
Jo bhi ho.

Teray liyay hum mar gaye andhay ho gaye ho kya?
apnay junoon say dartay ho kyun-agaye ho phir yaha?
tou hai aisi husti jo dhalti nahi, kyun ho gaye ho bekhuda?
aur teray liyay yeh duniya bani-pagal ho gaye ho cya?

Moti kitaabain parh kay hamnay apni ruh ko banaya,
jitni behes karlo utna dil ko chain nahi aaya,
motay alfaazo say tum hukoomat ko pata suko gay
par in sahafiyo ko asliyat dikha na suko ga.

Jo bhi ho

Meri soch kay mutabik hum kissi say kam nahi hain
meri soch kay mutabik mein kisi say kam nahi hoon
meri soch kay mutabik

Jo Bhi -- جو بھی

Sab kuch jo ajeeb hai woh meray kiun kareeb hai?
Yeh asmaan ke badalon me sab tou itna theek hai
Zameen pe badal kiun nai ugtey?
Sharam ke maaray chawal chugtey
Zaleel hai jo khabees nahi ab galiyan bhi ajeeb

Yeh kon agaya hai? Kisi ko kuch pata hai?
Yeh kis ki battakhain hai? Mein lift me phas gaya hun
Mein lift me phas gaya tha, Woh kon ro raha hai?
Yeh kitni manzalain hain? Beemari me dawa hai..

Hawa mein udtey chaltay phirtay
Samandaron ke neechay chuptay
Jazeeron pe ameeron ka bhala
Gharon pe baithay ultay pultay 
Awazon se hain pagal bantay
Ajeeb hai har cheez is hi jaga

Yeh kon agaya hai? Kisi ko kuch pata hai?
Yeh kis ki battakhain hai? Mein lift me phas gaya hun
Mein lift me phas gaya tha, Woh kon ro raha hai?
Woh mein ro raha hun Beemari me dawa hai..

Battakhain

Teri baato ko sun sun kar mera dil bhar agaya,
par idhar khara hoon,
is neendh say uth,
kyun idhar khara hoon? 
Socho meray yaar.
Mujh ko milli kitni naymatain par sochta nahi,
kyun idhar khara hoon?
Khubsoorat imtihan,
Kyun idhar khara hoon?
socho meray yaar.
Mein pagal ho chuka hoon,
mein kidhar sar jhukaoo?
mein kidhar tujh ko dhoondo?
is aag mein.
Meinay khayee kitni jhooti qasmain phir bhi tu bola,
meray paas aao!
in ko chhor meri jaan,
meray paas aao,
socho meray yaar.
