UDAAN

panchiyo ke paro par pehre lage hain

koi udaan ho to bhi to kaise ?

har parinde ko zakham gehre lage hain

koi udaan ho bhi to kaise ?

shikaari ki chaahat jaal se badi ho gayi hai

le kar ghinauna roop chheen lene ki hasrat khadi ho gayi hai

kisi adhikaar ka aise mein

sammaan ho bhi to kaise ?

koi udaan ho bhi to kaise ?

seenchne ko jise diya tha darakht usi ne shaakhein kaat di

banaya baaghbaan jise kyariyo mein usne sarhadein baant di

fir kisi koyal ka kisi daal par

makaan ho bhi to kaise ?

koi udaan ho bhi to kaise ?

dhue ki hod mein mitti ki khushbu bhula di

khudgarz aaj ki aivaz kal ki naslein mita di

pooja bahot ko magar pehle khud ko jagah di

socho ye duniya humne kya se kya bana di

ab wo pehle sa haseen

jahan ho bhi to kaise ?

jab kadr hi na ho kahin to

koi udaan ho bhi to kaise ?

PRASHANT RANA

wo parinde khwabo ke jinhein sarhadein nahi roka karti thi aaj apne aashiyane ki shaakho mein uljhe pade hain wo jinki fidrat thi parvaaz pe parvaaz tay karna aaj zameen par ondhe pade hain

TO ALL MY FRIENDS

I thought of throwing you out of my busy mind

you are as busy as me was the reason behind

no messege no call, no hello no hi

felt worse than a one time bitter good bye

but when I put my memory on a rewind

I found you more valuable than my ego

you maybe my stupid busy friend who don't know my worth

but on this earth

I am never gonna let you go.

MY FAVORITE PAIR OF SHOES

my favorite pair of shoes

that i never wanna loose

they played with me in the rain

wrapped in mud jumping in drain

my dearest friend

they never complain

no matter how hard i hit

the can on the road

they care for me

walk with me through miles

they bear the pain

to give me smiles

in the dirt n on the tree

they help me to set myself free

they run they fall

they take it all

they give me company

without a call

from the morning

till night

they grip my feet

nice n tight

the way they care for me

i promise to take them along

the next day where ever i go

when in the night at the bed side

i let them loose

they r indeed my best friends

my favorite pair of shoes.

THE DAY OF MY DEMAND

the days r passing by
n i m still waiting for you
ohh sun for u to rise
the way i want u to

not to take the night away
from the city's streets
but to bring me a bright day
n thats what my soul needs

a day of fulfillment
a day full of joy
a day for dreams to play
with realities like a toy

As for years I've been watching
n for years I've seen
a lie dominating the emotion
truth dominating innocent dream

i have spent years in this prayer
and can spend years yet to come
but i m not gonna settle down for sure
unless my demand is done

i will scratch the night with my nails
and bring you up in the sky
i don't care if it takes a hundred years
i don't care if the days r passing by

i may close my eyes
but i m for sure not gonna sleep
as the desire to see such a day
keeps on burning deep down underneath

i m ready to pay every price
you can do what ever u wanna do
oh sun one day you will have to rise
the very way i want u to



PRASHANT RANA


i don't ride waves,, i create them.

MY DEMAND

i wont follow you as a blind

for you i wont simply shut my mind

i wont put my back towards you

and wait for your pat

if mutineer is the word you got

then go ahead call me that

but i wont tolerate all

just because its peace

as i know its simply going to

support your ease

support your ease to dig more gold

and make you every minute a little more bold

a little more dangerous for the world

and also for my nation

thus hereby i demand

a COMPLETE REVOLUTION.

charaag sehar ke saath bujhe the iss umeed par k pathik ujale mein apni dagar pehchan lenge unhein kahan ilm tha zara bhi iss baat ka ki ye hind wasi hosh mein aane ko subha se shaam lenge.

AKS

jahan dekhta hoon jise dekhta hoon

pardo ke peeche chhupa dekhta hoon

khud se sharmzadaa insano ko

parto ke neeche daba dekhta hoon

nahi koi dikhta naqaab ke bina

wajood jaise ho aab ka bana

halki si aanch se jo pighal jaye

sabko aisi barf se bana dekhta hoon

banavati se dhab liye

dikhavati se sab bane

dil mein ik matlab liye sabko

jhoot mein sana dekhta hoon

hairaan hoon ye dekh kar

dekh kar hoon dang bhi

ke jo bhi kuch dekhta hoon main

aaine ke samne khada dekhta hoon.

PRASHANT RANA

ye jahan kyu meri har nazar ke saath badal jata hai aisa karke ye bhala mujhe kya jataata hai tod tod kar jodta hai meri umeedo ke aashiyane ko jod kar fir tod kar muskarata hai bhala aise mujhe kyu aazmata hai.

MY GOLDEN HORSE

he used to walk

tapping his toes

he flew as high

as my sight goes

i often rode his back

and saw the ocean

and he took my care

with great precaution

we went to hills

and we went to jungles

we saw the pole star

when it shines n twinkles

we gathered clouds

over the desert sands

we flew smiling

over seas and lands

we stood gazing sky

all night long

he often tapped his toes

when i sang a song

we collected shooting stars

in the bag of light

watched flowers to blossom

in the morning light

he used to clean his wings

while bathing in the streams

ohh i miss my golden horse

in my dreams

i don't know he misses me or not

but to me as ages it seems

i really miss my golden horse

in my dreams.

PRASHANT RANA

zindagi koi dagar nahi ye baat to tay hai, gar hoti to har shaks palat kar laut gaya hota apne bachpan ko.

A STUPID DAY DREAMER

Then I woke up with a surprised face

Looking at the people in the rat race

Thinking deep how I lagged behind

Coming up with nothing but one reason in my mind

I could never be an achiever

Coz i am a stupid day dreamer

I went on with an idiotic thought

I should have said no but i could not

Like a fallen leaf from the tree

On the mercy of wind but seemingly free

Destined not to see the coming summer

Coz i am a stupid day dreamer

With a faith that dreams could change the scene

A clean heart can make it all clear and clean

I got lost like Alice in the wonder land

Just to wake up with nothing left in hand

Although i knew the outcome as it was always clear

As i always knew that i am a stupid day dreamer.

DEAD OR ALIVE

if you can't feel the need of time

if you are stuck with yours and mine

if you think to pull others

is the key to survive

trust me you are no good

dead or alive

when you see a bird in cage

and don't feel like setting it free

when you see the smoke covered city

and don't feel like to plant a tree

when you see money only

taking you up the sky

trust me you are no good

dead or alive

you turn eyes away

from the baby crying on the way

and you live only for some people

who may give you something someday

and they are the only one you wish gud in your prayers

and when you can count your good deeds 1,2,3,4 or 5

trust me you are no good

dead or alive

you can use your words to impress or to hurt

but can't judge them on your feelings before you say

when a gain becomes the only base you got

to wave someone a smiling hi or hey

you center only you for every prayer in your life

trust me you are no good

dead or alive

you offer prayers daily in front of god

but never offer affection to nature he made

you cloud your mind with caste and creed

though you know one day its all gonna fade

even to yourself you dont hesitate to lie

trust me you are no good

dead or alive.
