Long Way from Home

Kisi ke peeche nahi chalna tha
To apne hi raaste bana liye
Sasti ye duniya mein aankhon ne khwaab meri
Thode mehnge saja liye
Aankhon pe chashme chadha liye
Ki sabko dikhe ye chehra hansta hua
Ruki nahi saansein to chal pada phir
Aur kandhon pe baste utha liye

Duniya ghuma rahi hai, main bhi kamaal hoon
Dekho na, ghoomte jaa raha hoon
Ki toote na himmat, isliye tasveer ko
Maa ki main choomte jaa raha hoon
Mili na manzil to chal pada mandir ko
Socha bhagwan milenge jo pehle se andar hai mujhmein basa hua
Main usko hi dhoondhte jaa raha hoon

Hai ghar ka wo chhota jo kandhon pe zimmedari
Badi leke chala hai
Jab baitha wo chhaon mein utaare joote
Tab jaana wo kitna chala hai
Wo to bas jaanta ye ki karo bhala to bas hota bhala
Itihaas gawaah hai jo baant ke khaata
Use oopar wale se kam hi mila hai

Gharwale yaad bhi aate hain
Ghar lautoon ye baap nahi chahte hain
Jab pet ho bhooka to bistar pe neind to aati
Per khwaab nahi aate hain
Chehre pe dhool lagi jinke
Aaine ghar ke wo saaf dikhate hain
Pet wo bharte hain bhook se zyada
Jo aksar hi maang ke khaate hain

Toota hai dil, toota hoon main
Par phir bhi sab roz sambhala hai
Kuch na kuch kami pada hai
Jab se zindagi mein hosh sambhala hai
Likhi hai oopar wale ne zindagi hai ya maut ki saza
Maut hi hogi shayad kyunki kalam ko apni wo todne wala hai

Laagat nahi pardesi munmura…
Har mod chala gharaunda na mila…
Kaaga tu ja re dees paraye…
More sapno ka sandesa le ja…
Kaaga tu ja re dees paraye…
More sapno ka sandesa le ja…

Ek aavai neem ki daali mere supne mein
Ek gher padya kati khaali mere supne mein
Ek arhad bhari trolley mere supne mein
Sarson ke phool ki baali mere supne mein

Ek choolhe aage pothi maawa swaad haath ki roti ka
Ek kohlu wala khet mera milge das kho gaya ek mera
Ek sooraj chhupta khet jage sarwaale mein
Ek dibiya ki lau chadhti deekhai aale mein

Ve dhari paam ki kadi kaath ke taale mein
Phir fas gaya bachpan chakachaundh ke jaale mein
Beshak kabje mein jang lagi ek khula aaj bhi kwaad pada
Ek charkha kha liya deemak ne par dekhai meri baat khadya

Ek rowai baaja heer-heer chillawai hai
Aur time ki sui teer se tode jawai hai
Mera man dariya mein dooba ghadwa sohni ka
Mera ghar paarosa devdas kilawai hai

Rai kaaya… khaali deemak nai
Bacha kuch… dhorai na mere
O kaaga… sunta chaiyo re…
Sunta chaiyo re…
Rai kaaya… khaali deemak nai
Bacha kuch… allen na mere
Tu kaaga… sunta chaiyo re…
O kaaga… sunta chaiyo re…
