Calling Me Coloured
When I born, I Black,
When I grow up, I Black,
When I go in Sun, I Black,
When I scared, I Black,
When I sick, I Black,
And when I die, I still black..
And you White fella,
When you born, you Pink,
When you grow up, you White,
When you go in Sun, you Red,
When you cold, you Blue,
When you scared, you Yellow,
When you sick, you Green,
And when you die, you Gray..
And you calling me colored??

Bavra Mann

Bavra mann dekhne chala ek sapna
Bavra mann dekhne chala ek sapna

Bavre se mann ki dekho, bavri hai baatein
Bavri si dhadkane hain, bavri hain saanse
Bavre se karvaton se nindiya kyon bhage
Bavre se nain chahe, bavre jharokhe se
Bavre nazaaron ko takna!
Bavra Mann...

Bavre se is jahaan mein, bavra ek saath ho
Is sayaani bheed mein bas, haathon mein tera haath ho
Bavri si dhun ho koi, bavra ek raag ho
Bavre se pair chahen, bavre taraano ke
Bavre se bol pe thirakna!
Bavra Mann...

Bavra sa ho andheraa, bavri khamoshian...
Thartharate lau ho maddham, bavri madhoshian
Bavra sa ghunghta chahe, haule haule bin bataye
Bavre se mukhde se sarakna!
Bavra Mann...

Ud Jaayega

Ud Jayega...
Ud jayega hansa akela, hansa akela
Jag darshan ka mela
Jag darshan ka mela

Jaise paat gire taruvar pe
Milna bahut duhela...
Na jaanu, kidhar girega
Na jaanu, kidhar girega
Lagya pawan ka rela...

Ud Jayega...hansa akela

On a Day Like Today

Free is all you gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
Sometimes ya wanna run away
But ya never know what might be comin round your way ya
Ya ya

On a day like today
The whole world could change
The suns gonna shine
Shine thru the rain
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Somewhere - theres a place for you
I know that you believe it too
Sometimes if you wanna get away
All ya gotta know is what we got is here to stay
All the way

On a day like today - the whole world could change
The suns gonna shine - shine thru the rain
On a day like today - no one complains
Free to be pure - free to be sane
On a day like today
Ya never wanna see the sun go down
Ya never wanna see the sun go down

Free is all we gotta be
Dream dreams no one else can see
But ya never know what might be comin for you and me ya
Its gonna be

On a day like today...

Anandotsava

Utsav ka arth hai : Anugraha
Utsav ka arth hai : Dhanyavaad
Utsav ka arth hai : Mujh apaatra ko itna diya!
Itna jiski naa mein kalpana kar sakta tha
Na kamnaa! Meri jholi mein pura aakash bhar diya!
Mere hriday mein pura astitva undel diya!
Mere is chote se ghat mein shashwat amrit dal diya!

-Osho

Bin Tere Tu Hi Bata

Bin tere tu hi bataa kaise guzaara hoga
Tu naa ho samne yeh kisko ganvaara hoga

Itna keh dijiye, lillah! ke ham aate hain
Doobne waale ko tinke ka sahara hoga (Wah!)
Bin tere tu hi bataa...

Gam-e-tufaan se naa dar, haar na himmat-e-dil
Inhi maujon mein kahin dhoondh kinaara hoga
Bin tere tu hi bataa...

Haar kuchch aisi hui, abke 'Nizami Ragi'
Umra bhar khela magar, aisa naa haara hoga
Bin tere tu hi bataa...

-Nizami Ragi
