The Gods Cry

There is this hour
I sit by the window
Watching water droplets kiss the grass
I watch gazingly ahead
Thinking of the day gone by
I cried my heart out and my eyes went dry
This hour the God's cry, with no hint of their eyes drying
There I see this hapless humming bird flying by my window
As though on a lookout for something
Some more flapping of wings and the Gods show no mercy
I again delve into my sadness
The time flies, but it seems the Gods are more in number
The humming bird catches my attention once again
It is the nest that is soaked on my window silt adjoining tree branch
And the humming bird hovering over it
I stand upright to inspect There be the reason, why the Gods seem to be crying endlessly
The humming birds chicks have knocked the heavens door
This being the welcome song
Suddenly my sadness and sorrow belittles the mood
For my sorrow I cry
And the humming birds sorrow, the Gods cry
For my sorrow, I spend endless nights toiling hard to sleep
And the humming bird sleeps away her sorrow, for the new morning tomorrow
For my sorrow, I remember the harsh words that hurt me
And the humming bird forgets the harsh weather that doomed her chicks
For my sorrow, I wished I could hold on to someone forever
And the humming bird has God to hold on to
For my sorrow, I will die one day too old and suddenly evoked by the pangs stabbing my heart
And the humming bird will be resting in her grave�

KhUbSoOrAtI

Khubsoorat hain woh lub

Jo pyari baate karte hai,

Khubsoorat hai woh muskurahat,

Jo doosro ke chehro par bhi muskan saja de...

Khubsoorat hai woh dil,

Jo kisi ke dard ko samjhe,

Jo kisi ke dard mein tadpe,

Khubsoorat hai woh jazbat,

Jo kisika ehsaas kare...

Khubsoorat hai woh ehsaas,

Jo kisi ke dard ke me dawa bane,

Khubsoorat hai woh baate,

Jo kisi ka dil na dukhaye...

Khubsoorat hai wo aankhein,

Jin mein sharm o haya ho,

Khubsoorat hai woh ansoo

Jo kisi ke dard ko mehsoos karke beh jaye...

Khubsoorat hai woh Haath,

Jo kisi ko mushkil waqt mein tham le,

Khubsoorat hai woh kadam,

Jo kisi ki madad ke liye aage badhein...

Khubsoorat hai woh soch,

Jo kisi ke liye achcha soche,

Khubsoorat hai woh insan,

Jisko KHUDA ne ye, khubsoorati ada ki...

'TERE BINA'
"तेरे बिना ये ज़िंदगी उदास सी लगे,
पन्ने पलट के देखूँ तो इतिहास सी लगे...
पहले तो ना था ऐसा पर अब ना जाने क्यूँ ,
थोड़ी तृप्ति सी लगे... तो बहुत प्यास सी लगे........
तेरे बिना ये ज़िंदगी................................................"

Har baat ka jawab

Har baat ka jawab,kabhi- kabhi man mei hi dena padta hai.....
kuch yaado ko kabhi-kabhi, bhulana bhi padta hai.....
khamosh juban se, kabhi-kabhi bolna bhi padta hai......
chup ke saye mei, kabhi-kabhi kisi ko humari yaad dilana bhi padta hai.....

Dil ke gum ko chupane ke liye, kabhi-kabhi khushi dikhana bhi padta hai.....
khud ko dokhe mei rakh kar, kabhi-kabhi sach se anjaan hona bhi padta hai.......

Teri yaad se ristha kal bhi tha aaj bhi hai

Teri yaad se rishta kal bhi tha

teri yaad se rishta aaj bhi hai,

Dil apna dukhta kal bhi tha

dil ye udaas aaj bhi hai,

Jo pyar hum tum karte the

ywoh pyar to zinda aaj bhi hai,

Hum bichad gaye is doori mein

tum door ho majboori mein,

Kabhi waqt mile to chali ana

khula dil ka darwaza aaj bhi hai,

Na sataao, na tadpaao….. .

na mehfil mein yu tanha chodo,

Teri yaad me jaage kal bhi they,

teri yaad me jaage aaj bhi hain……

'Jannat'

Mahesh Bhatt isn't only a filmmaker but also a maker or rather discoverer of new talents in singing and acting. Besides, he discovers talents from across the border, too. He is very happy that what he calls his 'ridiculous' dream of getting one of his movies premiered across the border of India, in Pakistan, has come true. Mahesh's latest movie 'Jannat', which is co-produced by Pakistan's Suhail Khan opened to a gala premier in Lahore's Gulistan studio with the entire star cast of the film present today (May 13th). Bhatt believes that mutual trust is the only way for the two countries (India & Pakistan) to prosper and the beginning has already been made through creative exchange.

He, however, refuses to take the entire credit for it saying, "It is a triumph of all those sane people who have refused to gravitate towards the philosophy of hatred." When asked about the fear of Pakistani film producers and directors that Indian film industry is trying to take over Pakistani film industry, Bhatt says, "I think the fear of Pakistani film industry is very legitimate. Indian filmmakers need to behave more sensibly and responsibly. The audio-visual medium is too powerful to be in the hands of few people. They have every right to tell their story. We can not monopolize," he cautions our filmmakers.
