YOU'LL NEVER BE HAPPY IF YOU KEEP WANTING TO BE HAPPY

you'll never be happy

if you keep wanting to be happy.

with all those questions of tomorrow,

with all those memories of the past,

you'll get tired sooner or later,

you'll get restless to see the last.

the last part of the story of life,

the last destination of this way,

but you'll miss the moon in the nights,

and you'll miss the dawn of a bright sunny day.

a bright sunny day that cuts through the dark,

a bright sunny day that'll bring you light,

and make your demons run away,

and make your beautiful eyes shining bright.

shining bright like twinkling stars,

shining bright just the way they should be,

but it'll be done when you love your today,

when you dont think of what could have been or what should be.

as all i know is that

one can never be happy

if they keep defining happiness,

if they keep wanting to be happy.

they'll always be happy a little less.

From Tomorrow, To Today, With Respect.

all that one have heard,
all that one have seen,
all that goes in the minds of others
is ultimately the foundation of a being.

all the silence and all the noise,
all the ear drum reaching voice,
music of rain and roaring machines
is ultimately the foundation of a being.

all the hidden and all the shown,
all the served and all the thrown,
behind the curtain or in the scene,
is ultimately the foundation of a being.

doesn't matter what you want to say,
what matters is what they could see,
doesn't matter what you tried to show,
what matters is what was edited by a beep,
when you have confused their aspirations,
with someone else's dreams,
confused is what their future becomes,
comfusion ultimately becomes foundation of the being.

You Got to Save Your Soul

save your soul as the army of demons is coming,
to take it...
give it all coz you promised the God when you were born,
to make it....

to make it through victorious of this very raid.
to prove, of what substance you were made.
to rise above the darkness, and just not give in.
to burn your body when the heart, needs light within.

to take care of your dreams, as they are your first child.
to set free yourself, as if you are a deer running wild.
to break the chains of time, and write your own story.
to shake hands together for peace, and not glory.

to be stronger than others, and yet be kind.
to win over yourself, with a clear mind.
to do whatever it takes, to bring the truth above.
to love simply because, you are born to love.

so, fight back when the army of demons come,
to take your soul,
you have a promise to keep that you once gave to yourself,
so now, just give it all.

ITS NOT YOU

                                            
It's not you that I wait for
It's that dream that I saw
Where you were there with me
In all my good and bad.

It's not you that I wait for
It's that wish that I had
To bring everything for you
Just to see you smile.

It's not you that I wait for
It's that hope that you will see
How hard it is for me to survive
When you are not there.

It's not you that I wait for
It's that prayer in my tears
To share my loneliness with you
And God never granted any.

It's not you that I wait for
It's my heart that I gave you
As in life I got nothing to call my own
My heart was the only thing I ever had.

CRICKET FOR PEACE

i remember the golden days

days we used to gether

on the pitch in the morning

n playing as a team together

the pain of losing toss

is still in my heart

but it always taught me

to hope for another start

to win n to lose

was a common thing

i learned to live

as a human being

we got scolded

when we broke glasses

we shouted our lungs out

on overthrows and wrong passes

competitors but not enemies

i had friends all around

we were together as one

there on the cricket ground

we win or we lose

c'mon lets say together cricket is for peace

we win or we lose

c'mon lets say together cricket is for peace

THE SCENARIO

Why everything is a formality?
Where the hell is reality?
Demons are all that I see leading sprituality
All they bother about is cast, creed, or nationality.

Relations fake affection all the time,
Still everything ends up on yours or mine.
Impure is the love that was once called divine,
Being nice to someone is now stupidity.

Money is the license to break the rule,
You lend a hand to someone and you are called a fool.
Emotions are now nothing but a tool,
Don't know where has hidden the humanity.

JUEGO DE LAS BURBUJAS

 cada sueno en la vida,

 no tiene suerte de verdad,

 pero tenemos habito estar en los suenos,

 y los suenos tiene habito estar como las burbujas.

 siempre intentamos salvar

 estas burbujas nuestras,

 pero no tenemos fuerza para luchar con destino,

 y el destino to intenta salvar las burbujas.

 ?pareceis es pasmoso?

 ?por que dios nosda los suenos?

 son preciosos , son bonitos , cercano del corazon.

 entonces ? por que dios decide suerte de suenos como las burbujas?

 yo meparezco es un truco

 de dios para motivar los humanos

 si queremos vivir suenos en verdad,

 tenemos que trabajar mucho con dedicacion

 si vosotros pareceis

 que tengo razon

 por que no adaptamos una manera nueva,

 para ver los suenos, no como las burbujas.

 pero como los ladrillos

 para establecer un mundo

 donde no hay lugar para dolor y la guerra,

 donde floreo solo amistad y paz.

 es tambien un sueno

 en agua del mar de mi corazon,

 pero hasta ahora mismo, yo no puedo decir,

 es un ladrillo o una burbuja solo.

NAHI CHAHIYE

mujhe jeet nahi chahiye,

aur mujhe haar bhi nahi chahiye.

jahan muskarahato pe lagi ho bandishein kai,

mujhe aisa nasamajh sansaar bhi nahi chahiye.

mujhe dard nahi chahiye,

aur mujhe chain bhi nahi chahiye.

jo katra katra kaat kar guzarti ho lamho ki shakl me,

mujhe aisi be-sabab rain bhi nahi chahiye.

mujhe dushmani nahi chahiye,

aur mujhe yaariyan bhi nahi chahiye,

jahan kataaro mein bichhe phool khull ke jhoom hi na sakein,

mujhe aisi bewajah kyariya bhi nahi chahiye.

mujhe zindagi se maut nahi chahiye,

aur maut se zindagi bhi nahi chahiye,

jo khudgarz irado se sarabor ho jhuke hue sar toh,

mujhe aisi zaruratmand bandagi bhi nahi chahiye.

mujhe khud se milne ki fakhat aarzu hai,

mujhe tum se koi sarokaar nahi,

mujhe chahiye ik zara aasma jahan tay ho mere paro ki honsle,

ye tumhara sarhado se bata adna sa jahan nahi chahiye.

AANSU

wo palko ke kinare se chupke se nikal aata hai

na awaaz karta hai na hi shor machata hai

kuch hissa toote hue khwabo ke bojh ka nigaho par se le kar

badi masumiyat se takiye mein sama jaata hai

ye aur baat hai ki neend tab bhi nahi aati

ye aur baat hai ki khwab tab bhi sataate hain

magar tasalli hoti hai ye dekh kar fir bhi

ke koi to mere khatir meri janib kadam uthata hai

ye aur baat hai ki dard tab bhi nahi mit-ta

ye aur baat hai ki saans tab bhi bojhal hai

magar sukun hai kahin itna to dil ke kisi kone mein

ke meri neend ke intezar mein wo bhi shab bitata hai

ye aur baat hai ki wo gumsum bada rehta hai

ye aur baat hai ki wo bin bulaye aata hai

magar meri baat ko apni si samajh kar sanjota hai

isliye saver hone se pehle chupke se sada sookh jata hai

bada azeez hai mujhe mera wo nadaan sa aansu

jo bhi ho badi shiddat se apna farz nibhata hai.

WHAT YOU ASK OF ME

What you ask of me

Is a part of me

But what’s the use of asking something

That you don’t have strength to hold for long enough

To understand it

What you ask of me

Is a dream of mine

That i planted with an innocent will

And i don’t see you have a heart as pure as the kid i was

To understand it

What you ask of me

Is a deep emotion

That i hide in my heart from all evil

And i don’t see you care for it the way it really needs

To understand it

What you ask of me

Is my soul afterall

That is as deep as the deepest ocean

And you are nothing like a river headed for it and thats what it takes

To understand it

What you ask of me

Is what i ask of myself

And have spent years on it and never complained

And you don’t even wish to wait but dear a lifetime is what it takes

To understand it.

PRASHANT RANA

those addicted to shores never gets to feel the pleasure of finding a pearl,

they have to spend a lot to buy it.

LEAVE ME ALONE

there is nothing that i want from you

nothing but a gesture

to leave me alone

on my own

to face the life

and write some songs,

no friendship no love

nothing sent from above

no blame no game

no name and fame

no you no me

got nothing left to see

but time is not up

got to go with it

to the extreme limit

to see something unseen

some realities n some dreams

as thats what all i can do

to know that at then end

there will be no family no friend

its gonna be only me

all alone

on my own

to face the life

and write some song

a song that kids will sing

in the coming times

on the music of rains

with an innocent brain

and a lovely heart

as god's part

that resides in all of us

but in the life's race n fuss

we all  forget to talk n discuss

this little thing

how a kid stays pure

even when the life is sour

i guess coz they r with god

when they r all alone

on their own

to face the life

and write some songs.

some songs that defines life

as a flower and not a sword or knife

that invites beautiful butterflies

to make this world look like a paradise

where on the music of the rain

children go dancing

without any fear

all alone

on their own

to change the face of life

PRASHANT RANA

khayal khojte hain zariya iss zehan se uss zehan tak jaane ka

LET ME DIE

let me die

before i cry

before i cry

in front of you

as thats something

i don't wanna do

for all i know

you r gonna go

with your friends somewhere

n not gonna show

not gonna show

untill i sleep

n i wish to throw these pearls

these tears that i keep

i keep holding

closed in shores of eyes

to smile with u n allow u to say

that i never cries

to keep that faith alive

let me die

let me die

before i cry.

zami kahan kehti hai ki raat din barso

bas ik fuhaar kabhi kabhar chahiye

wo darakht jo sookh kar girta hai patjhad ke mausam me

sabhi phoolo se badh kar use bahaar chahiye.

ME & MY HEART

there it goes

n there it goes again

i m now very sure

this heart is not my friend

it keeps on beating

though i don't want it to

it never listen what i say

n there is nothing i can do

it keeps on wanting

things that r not mine

it don't bother if it hurts

don't bother if eyes r crying

it keeps on asking

questions hard to answer

i dig deep in life to search

but i can't find them anywhere

it rides the horse of dreams

n flies high up in the sky

i m tired of pulling it down every time

n i still don't know the reason why

it goes

n it goes again n again

beats after beats it keeps on telling me

its not an enemy but a friend

baat ye nahi ki tere dil mein taadaat-e-aarzu kya hai,

baat ye hai ki junun ki had tak justaju kya hai,

ye khwab o aarzu hain jo rang kirdaar mein bharte hain,

warna iss jahan mein main kya hoon, warna iss jahan mein tu kya hai.

UDHEDBUN

main gum hoon kahin bheege rasto pe

mujhe dhund lo to bata dena

yu to neend nahi nihago mein kahin

par agar so bhi jau to jagaa dena

ke kuch khayal bulaye hain maine

raat ki mehfil ke waste

aa to jaane the ab tak magar

shayed bhatak gaye wo raste

jo mile tumhein pooche tumse dagar meri

to uss mod par jahan mile the hum tum

usi mod ka unhein pata dena

jo pahuch paye wo uss mod tak

to mere kadmo ke nisha dekh hi lenge

jo nazar na bhi aaya main kahin

to mujhe awaz wo zarur denge

gar suno unki awaz tum kahin to itna karam karna

kehna ki baadalo ki or jate dekha tha shaam ko

bheegi hawa ke sang chalne ka zariya bata dena

gar aa paye wo baadalo ke desh tak

to to mera bhi thikaana paa hi jayenge

hai yakeen mujhe apne khayalo par

savera hone se pehle aa hi jayenge

gar boli unki tum samjho to unhein batana ki maine kaha tha

main chala hoon bheege rasto pe gum hone k liye

jo mujhe dhund lo to bata dena

yu to neend nahi nigaho mein kahin

THE CURE

you are the cure to my pain

but I know you are not mine

and so just to heal up a little bit

I go back in times

the times of my youth

when I was a stupid child

roaming under the cover of rain drops

racing with the wind wild

fighting over with little issues

that had nothing to do with emotions

crying for me was just another way

of asking and of self promotion

the time I wanted to grow

grow as tall as my father atleast

hoping strong that after that

the life will become a worthy feast

looking positive to the dreams

I forgot the rules of the game

and today sitting on the edge of my bed

I am talking to wall like an insane

telling her that you are the cure to my pain

but I know you are not mine

and so just to heal up a little bit

I got to go back in times

because things you changed in me

are worth keeping in heart

and i would love it

if i don't have to make an other start.

an other start to search myself

an other start to make a friend

an other start to know someone

an other start to wish for a hand

an other start to hope in dreams

an other start to believe in prayer

an other start to share my soul

an other start to seek someone who care

an other start to live the life

an other start to pour my heart

an other start to lose myself to someone

an other start to meet n part.

i think i can live without you

A SHORT JOURNEY

she started on a journey downwards

with no control on her own

before she could know what has happened

the bed of cloud was long gone

what lay ahead was a path through air

so indefinite that one would wonder

if it really was there

but nothing she could do to turn the way around

to go back to heavens

to not to hit the ground

and still she wouldn't let her mood to spoil

as she knew she'll bring some relief

to some thirsty soil

she finally fell on the spot she was destined to land

and thus the journey of a rain drop

came to an end.

JULIET

you think I should follow you as a blind,

you thought you could blow away my mind,

you believe I must wait for you standing on my toe,

but honey, romeo died a long ago.

you wish I would come to you on my knees,

you want always I do whatever you may please,

you wonder how you rule the cupid's arrow and bow,

but honey, romeo died a long ago.

you are obsessed with the beauty you possess,

you are proud for the way you look and dress,

you are unaware but I think now you should know,

that honey, romeo died a long ago.

MY NIGHT

waking up for my dreams

once again when the night began

recalling all those scenes

that I wished should never come to an end

and the time is still telling me

that a morning awaits

on the other side

of this night

and I cannot hide

as nothing is there in my hand

and it says I have to walk

through the dark

all night long

all alone

on my own

as all I got is a bunch of busy friends

it tells me this is the way

its gonna stay

so I better land on ground

and stop wishing you around

coz you r not bound

forever to my dreams

so to pick up some new thoughts

I am awake

when the night began

going through the pages of life

to seek a pleasant end.

THE PAIR OF EYES

in the crowd on the way

i saw the most beautiful pair of eyes

n it really made my day

made me wonder what thoughts they carry

will they share with me

ohhh will they

i felt like following them

but then decided i should not

i really wish for knowing them

but i don't know why

i just could not

i wanted to talk to them

n i really wanted to share

whatever they were thinking

but poor me

i could not dare

n then they walked passed by me

to get lost in the crowd again

i paused for a second or so

n pinched myself

i came to my senses then

n now sitting on the bed

i m asking to myself

if i would have said hello

wud they have shared their thoughts with me

ohhh would they?
