Lyrics

—————————–

Female version

mujhe gale se lagaa lo,
bahut udaas hoon main
hamen jahaan se chhudaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
mujhe gale se lagaa lo

intezaar ka dukh ab kahaa nahin jaataa
tadap rahe hain muhabbat
rahaa nahin jaataa
tum apne paas bulaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
hamen jahaan se chhudaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
mujhe gale se lagaa lo

bhatak chuke hain bahut
zindagi ki raahon mein
mujhe ab aa ke chhupaa lo
tum apni baahon mein
mera ?? lagaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
hamen jahaan se chhudaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
mujhe gale se lagaa lo

kareeb kaa?? milne ki pyaas chalti hai
sulag rahaa hai kadam(?)
aur rooh jalti hai
??? bachaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
hamen jahaan se chhudaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
mujhe gale se lagaa lo

——————————–

Duet version

mujhe gale se lagaa lo, bahut udaas hoon main
hamen jahaan se chhudaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
mujhe gale se lagaa lo

nazar mein teer se chubhte hain ab nazaaron se
main thak gayi hoon sabhi tootate sahaaron se
ab aur bojh na daalo
bahut udaas hoon main
hamen jahaan se chhudaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
mujhe gale se lagaa lo

bahut sahi,
gham-e-duniyaa,
magar udaas na ho
bahut sahi,
gham-e-duniyaa,
magar udaas na ho
kareeb hai shab-e-gham ki sahar
udaas na ho
bahut sahi,
gham-e-duniyaa

sitam ke haath ki talwaar toot jaayegi
ye oonch-neech ki deewaar toot jaayegi
tujhe kasam hai meri hamsafar udaas na ho
tujhe kasam hai meri hamsafar udaas na ho
bahut sahi,
gham-e-duniyaa
na jaane kab ye tareekaa ye taur badlegaa
sitam kaa gham kab museebat kaa daur badlegaa
mujhe jahaan se uthaa lo, bahut udaas hoon main
hamen jahaan se chhudaa lo
bahut udaas hoon main
bahut sahi,
gham-e-duniyaa
magar udaas na ho
kareeb hai shab-e-gham ki sahar
udaas na ho
bahut sahi,
gham-e-duniyaa

aj aur kal

I shoot
shit
that lies
dried
crumpled
wrinkled
corrugated
on the streets

i shoot
whores
soliciting
in red
light areas
when
our
ill starred
souls meet

i shoot
men
in womens
clothes
hijras
in a heart beat
neither man
nor
woman
fucked
forever
incomplete

i shoot
lepers
blind people
cripple
beggar kids
urchins
in dust and heat
disillusioned
forever in defeat

i am a
fucked street
photographer
a beggar poet
demystifying
decoding
pain
on fucked
streets
barefeet
wrapped
in a black
bleeding
winding sheet

i am a shia
a hindu
a christian
a sufi
i am what
i am
a blog
within
a blog
personal
offbeat
a silent
soliloquy
in total
retreat

she
deactivates
me
time and again
moody
irrational
but from her
childs heart
she cant delete
to block
me once
full and final
close
the account
i plead

i dont
love her
poetic
postulations
on the soul
of blood
sweat
concrete
she dares
she bares
gives me
cold sweat
cold feet

a poet
his imagination
fecund moments
of his loony mind
without profit gain
or deceit

living
in the land
of his forefathers
the ganges
the himalyas
his heartbeat

wallowing
in the guilt
a brothel
of his mind
fucked
mumbai
streets

where an
empty stomach
hungry thirsty
with the soul
of a poet
competes
air water fire
who cares
if you have
nothing to eat
