Ek Nayi Shuruaat

Rail gaadi ki chuk chuk sun,
Jaagein hain aaj,
Naya station aaya hai,
Naya khayaal bhi sang laya hai,
Ek gaana aur likh daalo aaj,
Ek safar aur kar daalo aaj...

Manzilein aaj musaafiron mein,
Tabdeel ho gayi hain,
Aur musaafir bane,
Fir rahe hain hum,
Ab kya koi darr humein,
Jhakjhorega,
Ab gam ka kaunsa karwaan,
Hum par apne nishaan chhodega ...

Khushiyon se mulaqat,
Hui hai aaj,
Jo ek nayi subah sang,
Faila liye iss panchi ne apne parwaaz,
Ud chalenge kahin,
Ab toh poora jahaan apna hai,
Beeta hua kal ek band kitaab hai,
Aur aane waala kal ek sapna hai...

Haath mein apne,
Bas ek aaj hai dost,
Toh chalo,
Ab isi par apni ek nayi daastaan likhte chalein,
Ek nayi shuruaat hai apni,
Chalo sang chalein ... 

Did you ask her name?

And did you ever see her eyes,
Saw them dream the dreams,
Which were bigger than you and me,
Did you see,
That day when she jumped off the roof,
To live a death so beautiful,
As her life could never be.

Did you hear her last words,
That last song she sang,
Of wonders beyond,
Beyond we could imagine,
She went there to live them,
She wasn't scared,
But sacred,
Like we could never be.

So tell me,
Did you,
Did you ever ask her,
Her name?
The most beautiful character,
Of the story you're yet to write,
The most intriguing character,
Of the most painful story,
You'll ever read.

Did you?
