Song Lyrics

Dekho Inhein Yeh Hain Aas Ki Boondein

Patton Ki God Mein Aasmaan Se Koodein

Aandayee Lein Phir Karwat Badal Kar

Nazuk Se Moti Hans De Phisal Kar

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Yeh To Hain Sardi Mein Dhoop Ki Kirane

Utarein Jo Aangan Ko Sunhera Sa Karne

Mann Ke Aandheron Ko Roshan Sa Kar Dein

Thithurti Hatheli Ki Rangat Badal Dein

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Jaise Aankhon Ki Dibiya Mein Nindiya

Aur Nindiya Mein Meetha Sa Sapna

Aur Sapne Mein Mil Jaaye Farishta Sa Koi

Jaise Rangon Bhari Pichkari

Jaise Titliyan Phoolon Ki Kyari

Jaise Bina Matlab Ka Pyara Rishta Ho Koi

Yeh To Aasha Ki Lehar Hain

Yeh To Ummeed Ki Sehar Hain

Khusiyon Ki Nehar Hain

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Dekho Raaton Ke Seeney Pe Yeh Toh

Jhilmil Kisi Lau Se Ugey Hain

Yeh To Amboya Ki Khusboo Hain

Baagon Se Beh Chale

Jaise Kaanch Mein Choodi Ke Tukde

Jaise Khiley Khiley Phoolon Ke Mukhdey

Jaise Bansi Koi Bajaye Pedon Ke Taley

Yeh To Jhonke Hain Pawan Ke

Hain Yeh Ghungharoo Jeewan Ke

Yeh To Sur Hain Chaman Ke

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Muhaley Ki Raunak

Galiyan Hain Jaise

Khilney Ki Zid Par

Khaliyan Hain Jaise

Muthi Mein Mausam Ki

Jaise Hawayein

Yeh Hain Buzurgon Ke

Dil Ki Duwayein

Kho Na Jaaye Ye Taare Zameen Par

Kabhi Baatein Jaise Dadi Nani

Kabhi Chalkein Jaise Mum Mum Paani

Kabhi Ban Jaaye Bhole

Sawaalon Ki Jhadi

Sannatey Mein Hansee Ke Jaise

Sooney Hothon Pe Khushi Ke Jaise

Yeh To Noor Hain Barse Gar

Teri Kismat Ho Badi

Jaise Jheel Mein Lehraye Chanda

Jaise Bheed Mein Apne Ka Kandha

Jaise Manmauji Nadiya

Jhaag Udaye Kuch Kahe

Jaise Baithe Meethi Si Jhapki

Jaise Pyar Ki Dheemi Si Thapki

Jaise Kaanon Mein Sargam

Hardam Bajti Hi Rahe

Jaise Barkha Udati Hai Bundiya

Song Lyrics 

Sooraj jaise chamkenge

Dekhe hain saadi akhiyan ne

Eh sapne ambraan de X 2

Boond boond jodenge pal pal

Door door beh jaayenge

Phir naal samandran de X 2

Assi aithe khade

Hai jaana pare

Na kam humko tol

Assi zidd te ade

Junooni bade

Eh dil ke ne bol

Ek jindri meri

Sau khwahishaa

Ek ek main poori karaan 

Ek jindari meri

Sau khwahishan

Mushkil humein rokna

Shehron jaise ban jaayenge

Lagde ne jo chhote chhote

Eh raste galiyan de X 2

Phoolon ki tarah mehkenge

Hauley hauley yaaron

Ek din mausam galiyan de

Eh mausam galiyan de

Abhi na jaane koi

Pehchaane koi

Hai kya apna mol

Assi zidd te ade

Janooni bade

Eh dil ke ne bol

Ek jinadri meri

Sau khwahishan

Ek ek main poori karaan

Ek jinadri meri

Sau khwahishan

Mushkil hamein rokna

Raat hai kajle waali

Door badi diwali

Dive dhoondhe akhiyaan

Dil waale ghonsle mein

Panchi banange yaaron

Humne ummeedan rakhiyan

Maine haaran nahi hai

Chahe kuch bhi kare duniya

Song Lyrics 

Rock a bye baby

Rock a bye baby

My blue eyed son

Hush a bye baby

Don't you cry baby

My blue eyed son

They say

Oh that what you give is yours

Khele godi mein chanda re

In the middle of the night

I still think of you

I see you in my eyes

How will I get through

All I can say is I'm sorry

Oh my blue eyed son X 2

Rock a bye baby X 3

Mere hote tujhpe main

Aanch na aane doon

Khushiyon ki dopehri ki

Saanjh na aane doon

Gagan ki jhalar mein

Jitne sitaare hain

Teri hi toh mutthi mein

Simte woh saare hain kyun

Rona tujhe aaya hai

Kisne sataya hai

Kahe murjhaya hai tu

Meri muskaan lele

Apne shikan dede

Naram chhuan lele tu

De de khushboo

Aur gulsitaan le le tu

Rock a bye baby X 2

My blue eyed son

Hush a bye baby

Don't you cry baby

My blue eyed son

They say

Oh that what you give is yours

In the middle of the night

I still think of you

I see you in my eyes

How will I get through

All I can say is I'm sorry

Oh my blue eyed son X 6

Jesus (2020)

      📹 Behold, the Lamb of God. 

Reflections
I feel, if there is something common that exists among different religious scriptures and teachings, it is love. The core principles of spirituality, perceived and experienced in  different ways or forms on Earth, revolve around love and forgiveness. Though some of the scriptures hang on to a past and a future and some hang on to living in the present, by making the most of your time (every second, every minute) on Earth.

The life of Jesus, stories and parables shared by Him, also revolves around love and forgiveness. His words, deeds, compassion and selfless love point to a way of living that is built on nothing but true love. I feel God created Love and Man created Religion. And I believe nothing will stand the test of time but Love, because, God is Love (though we see Him/Her in different forms or call Him/Her by different names).

Piku (2015)

🎥 The way out !
When concern is rooted in love, it is annoying, but it's doesn't hurt!

 

Reflection
"Time moves us in circles,
 From our hand curled around their fingers,
 To seldom, their hand curled around our fingers.
 From being a pain,
 To weighing pain.
 Only a handful are blessed,
 With a shoulder to lean on,
 When the nights are grey."    --- #PoeticWithHope
