Of Imran's Poetry in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

In the 24 hours since I wrote about Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, there has been a flood of people who have come searching for Imran's poetry. I have finally found four of those poems (found in the Facebook status of the official movie page). Here are the four of them..they are magic..the use of words hits your soul like a thunderbolt, conveying the message to enjoy life to the fullest.

Some of the poems were written by Raghupati Sahay Firaaq, but I don't know which ones. Some are penned by Javed Akhtar. We are indeed very lucky to have you. Thank you for making us realize how shallow we have become and how lost we are. Thank you for giving us some magical moments to serve as a talisman whenever we lose life's meaning. Enjoy the magic below and fall in love with life all over again.
Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya
Jab ghum ka saya lehraya
Jab aansoo palkon tak aya
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya
Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
Duniya mein yunhi hota hai
Yeh jo gehre sannate hain
Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain
Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa
Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai
Har pal ek naya mausam hai
Kyun tu aise pal khota hai
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai...


Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin
Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti
Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi 
Kuch lafz hain woh maangti
Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh
Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh
Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai
Ahsas hi ahsas hai
Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti
Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai
Jiska pata tumko bhi hai
Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai
Duniya se bhi chupta nahin
Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai...

Pighle neelam sa behta ye sama, 
Neeli neeli si khamoshiyan, 
Na kahin hai zameen 
Na kahin aasmaan, 
Sarsaraati hui tehniyaan pattiyaan, 
Keh raheen hai bas ek tum ho yahan, 
Bas main hoon, 
Meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein, 
Aisi gehraiyaan, aisi tanhaiyaan, 
Aur main...Sirf main. 
Apne hone par mujhko yakeen aa gaya.

Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Nazar mein khwabon ki
Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise
Aazad rehno sikho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise
Lehron mein behna sikho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo
Khole apni bhaayein
Har ek pal ek naya samha
Dekhen yeh nigahaein
Jo apni aankhon mein
Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum
Dilon mein tum apni
Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho
Toh zinda ho tum.

  12. पिघले नीलम सा बेहता हुआ ये समा
    नीली नीली सी खामोशियाँ
    ना कहीं है ज़मीन
    ना कहीं है आसमां
    सरसराती हुई तनहाइयां,
    पत्तियां कह रही हैं की बस ऐक तुम हो यहाँ
    सिर्फ मैं हूँ मेरी साँसे हैं और मेरी धड़कनें
    ऐसी गहराइयाँ
    ऐसी तनहाइयां
    और मैं सिर्फ मैं
    अपने होने पे मुझको यकीन आ गया...

  13. जब जब दर्द का बादल छाया
    जब गम का साया लैहराया
    जब आँसू पलकों तक आया
    जब ये तन्हा दिल खबराया
    हमने दिल को ये सम्झाया
    दिल आखिर तू क्यों रोता है
    दुनिया मे यूँ ही होता है
    ये जो गहरे सऩ्नाटे हैं
    वक़्त ने सबको ही बाँटे हैं
    थोड़ा गम है सबका किस्सा
    थोड़ी धूप है सबका हिस्सा
    आँख तेरी बेकार ही नम हैं
    हर पल एक नय़ा मौसम है
    क्यों तु ऐसे पल खोता है
    दिल आखिर तू क्यों रोता है...

  14. ऐक बात होटों तक है जो आइ नहीं
    बस आँखों से है झाँकती
    तुमसे कभी, मुझसे कभी
    कुछ लव्ज़ हैं वो माँगती
    जिनको पहन के होटों तक आ जाए वो
    आवाज़ की बाहों मे बाहें डाले इठलाए वो
    लेकिन जो ये एक बात है
    ऐहसास ही ऐहसास है
    खुशबू सी है जैसे हवा में तैरती
    खुशबू जो बेआवाज़ है
    जिसका पता तुमको भी है
    जिसकी खबर मुझको भी है
    दुनिया से भी छुपता नहीं
    ये जाने कैसा राज़ है...

  15. दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो
    तो ज़िन्दा हो तुम
    नज़र में ख्वाबों की बिजलियाँ लेके चल रहे हो
    तो ज़िन्दा हो तुम

    हवा के झोंकों के जैसे
    आज़ाद रहना सीखो
    तुम एक दरिया के जैसे
    लहरों में बहना सीखो
    हर एक लमहे से मिलो
    खोले अपनी बाँहें
    हर एक पल एक नया समा
    देखे ये निगांहे

    जो अपनी आँखों मे हैरानियाँ लेके चल रहे हो
    तो ज़िन्दा हो तुम
    दिलों में तुम अपनी बेताबियाँ लेके चल रहे हो
    तो ज़िन्दा हो तुम..
