A birthday greeting, i wrote for my brother Manu on his birthday ....
aawazien hi aawazien hain
Kehti aawazien, samjahti aawazien
Batati aawazien, seekhati aawazien
Jindagi ke shatranj ki agli chaal dekhati aawazien
Maangti aawazein, manwaati aawazein
Har ek ke dil ki baat batati aawazien
Tumhari aawaz kahan hai?
Jo hota tha tumhare haathon mein vo saaz kahan hai?
Ziddi, Allhaad hi rahegi jindagi
Uljhi, unseemti hi rahegi jindagi
Uske sambhalne ka intzaar na karo
Us mein baho, uske rukne ka intezaar na karo
Bolo, gaaon, jiyo jindagi
Ahsaason ki baarish mein, bheego bhigaon jindagi
Jashan hai ek, saaz per bajaao jindagi
Khud ko dhoondne ki itni bhi koshish na karo
Ki bematlab bemaani khushiyon se dur ho jao
Har soorat mein pasad ho tum,
Per ho sake to thoda aur muskurao
