"Os ki boondh"

Phisilti ek os ki boond ki tarah
Girta hain tu bhi aaj apni zameen par
Haatheli par tik jaata agar tu
Tho Kaise pehchanta uchai ka asar?

Hairat kar deti hain humari
Khwaab bun ne ki ye aadat
Par na inhe zinda rakhen tho
Kaise mehsoos karenge uski barkat?

Jis Khwaab ko tune dua main badla
Ek faryaad teri zubaan par thi
Teri haatheli main ab os ki boond nahi
Hain khusi ke aansoon ki nami

'Dead Or Alive'

Hazard Highway
Lost control
Lights went off
And I let go

Crashed
Burnt
Survived
But was I initially
Dead or Alive?

Wrong Choices
Selfish gain
Fed the flesh
Drank on pain

Fled
Ran
Couldn't hide
I was already
Dead not Alive.

Countless milestones
Hit Deadend
Final Destination
Hopeless attempts

Tired
Worn out
Life nosedived
Now I was
Dead when alive

Fought denial
Last attempt
Lastman standing
Took me in

Forgiveness
Freedom
Grace personified
Now at last
Am Truly alive!
