Maine Socha Tha

Lyrics by Nyay Sharma

maine socha tha agar maut se pehle pehle
maine socha tha agar duniya ke veeraanon mein
maine socha tha agar hasti ki shamshanon mein
kisi insaan ko bas ek bhi insaan ki (a)gar
sachhi belaag mohabbat kahin ho jaaye naseeb
wohi sahil jo bohut duur nazar aata hai
khud-ba-khud khinchta chala aata hai kashti ke qareeb
maine socha tha yunhi dil ke kanwal khilte hain
maine socha tha yunhi sabr-o-sukoon milte hain
maine socha tha yunhi zakhm-e-jigar silte hain

lekin…
sochne hi se muraadein toh nahin mil jaati
aisa hota toh har ik dil ki tamanna khilti
koshishen lakh sahi baat nahin banti hai
aisa hota toh har ik raahi ko manzil milti
maine socha tha ke insaan ki qismat aksar
phoot jaati hai bikharti hai sambhal jaati hai
apsara chand ki badli se nikal jaati hai
par mere bakht ki gardish ka toh kuchh anth nahin
khusk dharti bhi toh manjdhaar bani jaati hai
kya muqaddar se shikaayat kya zamane se gila
khud meri saans hi talwaar bani jaati hai

haye… phir bhi sochta hoon…

khoon jab rota hai dil geet tabhi dhaltein hai

is liye…
mera pyaala hai jo khaali toh yeh khaali hi sahi
