दिल्या घेतल्या वचनाची

दिल्या घेतल्या वचनांची शपथ तुला आहे
मनातल्या मोरपिसंची शपथ तुला आहे||

बकुलिच्या झाडाखाली  निळ्या चांदण्यात 
ह्रुदयांची ओलख पटली सुगंधी क्षणात
त्या सगळ्या बकुल फुलांची शपथ  तुला  आहे||

शुभ्र फुले रेखित रचिला चाँद तू जुईचा
म्हणालीस चंद्रोस्तव हा सावल्या बुईचा
फुलाताल्या त्या चंद्राची शपथ तुला आहे||

भुर भुरता पाउस होता सोनिया उन्हात
गवातातुनी चालत होतो मोहिनी मनात
चुकलेल्या त्या वाटेची शपथ तुला आहे||

हलू हलू  काजलाताना सांज ही  सुरंगी
तुझे भास दाटुनी येती असे अंतरंगी
या उदास आभालाची शपथ तुला आहे ||

- मंगेश पाडगावकर  

चाँद

नींद टूटी चाँद की जो
आँखों भरे आब थे

अँधेरे गहेन में डूबे
चांदनी के ख्वाब थे

ख्वाब देखे ख़्वाबों में ही
ख़्वाबों में वोह चूर था

उस जहाँ में इस जहाँ के
हालों से वोह दूर था

वोह हवा में आंधियों की
असलियत से दूर था

बुलबुलों में बुलबुला था
गोल -गोल दौर था

- संजीव शर्मा

Unbreak my heart

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The night are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss that pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry that tears
I cried so many, many nights
Un-break my

Un-break my heart
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on....

Take it to the limit

All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
(spent my life running 'round)
And it's so hard to change
(Can't seem to settle down)
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?

And when you're looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can't find the door
(Can't find it anywhere)
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back, you're running back
You're coming back for more

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time

-- Eagles

Time

Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams.

Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying

Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

Time, I don't understand
Children killing in the street
Dying for the color of red
Time, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean,
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

Can you teach me about tomorrow
All the pain and sorrow
Running free?
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in...

Chorus:

Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where i'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time

And if I die tomorrow, yeah
Just lay me down in sleep

(chorus)

Time, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
Now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time

(Chorus)

Time, why you punish me?

जब भी आती हैं तेरी याद

जब भी आती है तेरी याद कभी शाम के बाद
और बढ़ जाती है अफसुर्दा-दिली शाम के बाद

अब इरादों पे भरोसा है न तौबा पे यकीन
मुझ को ले जाए कहाँ तश्ना-लाबी शाम के बाद

यूँ तो हर लम्हा तेरी याद का बोझल गुजरा
दिल को महसूस हुई तेरी कमी शाम के बाद

यूँ तो कुछ शाम से पहले भी उदासी थी अदीब
अब तो कुछ और बढ़ी दिल की लगी शाम के बाद

वाटेवर काटे वेचीत

वाटेवर काटे वेचीत चाललो
वाटले जसा फुलाफुलात चाललो

मिसळुनी मेळ्यात कधी, एक हात धरूनि कधी
आपुलीच साथ कधी करित चाललो

आधिचा प्रसाद घेत, पुढची ऐकीत साद
नादातच शीळ वाजवीत चाललो

चुकली तालात चाल, लागला जिवास बोल
ढळलेला तोल सावरीत चाललो

खांद्यावर बाळगिले, ओझे सुखदुःखाचे
फेकुन देऊन अता परत चाललो

कधी कुठे न भेटणार

कधि कुठे न भेटणार
कधि न काहि बोलणार
कधि कधि न अक्षरात
मन माझे ओवणार

निखळे कधि अश्रू एक
ज्यात तुझे बिंब दिसे
निखळे निःश्वास एक
ज्यात तुझी याद असे

पण तिथेच ते तिथेच
मिटुनि ओठ संपणार
व्रत कठोर हे असेच
हे असेच चालणार

जेव्हा तिची नि माझी

जेव्हा तिची नि माझी चोरून भेट झाली
झाली फुले कळ्यांची, झाडे भरास आली

दूरातल्या दिव्यांचे मणिहार मांडलेले
पाण्यात चांदण्यांचे आभाळ सांडलेले
कैफात काजव्यांची अन्‌ पालखी निघाली

केसांतल्या जुईचा तिमिरास गंध होता
श्वासातल्या लयीचा आवेग अंध होता
वेड्या समर्पणाची वेडी मिठी मिळाली

नव्हतेच शब्द तेव्हा, मौनात अर्थ सारे
स्पर्शात चंद्र होता, स्पर्शात लाख तारे
ओथंबला फुलांनी अवकाश भोवताली

Can't get close enough

How many tears must we cry before learning,
Things that we have they're for real and we're losing,
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.

Why do you believe that we've got something coming,
You took it all, left me standing here with nothing,
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away,
Too fae away.

In your world you must be dreaming, if you think you can survive,
Taking all and giving nothing that's a crime.
What makes you something special, what about me, I'm here too,
You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth.
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.

All I need is understanding and the right to survive,
Only you could see the warnings, and pass them by.
What makes you something special, what about me, I'm here too,
You don't care what I'm feeling and that's the truth.
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.
Too far away.
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.

How many tears must we cry before learning,
Things that we had they're for real and we're losing,
Can't get close enough to you, 'cause you're just too far away.
Too far away, too far away, too far आवे

-- Black Sabbath

आज राणी पूर्वीची

आज राणी, पूर्विची ती प्रीत तू मागू नको
कालचे वेड्या फुलांचे, रंग तू मागू नको

सांजता चाफ्याकळीचे चुटपुटीचे भेटणे
पानजाळीतून झिरपे, बावरेसे चांदणे
त्या क्षणांचे, चांदण्यांचे स्पर्श तू मागू नको

पाकळ्यांचे शब्द होती, तू हळू निःश्वासता
वाजती गात्री सतारी, नेत्रपाती झाकता
त्या फुलांचे, त्या स्वरांचे, गीत तू मागू नको

रोखूनी पलकांत पाणी, घाव सारे साहीले
अन्‌ सुखाच्या आसवांचे, मीठ डोळा साचले
या घडीला मोतियाचा घास तू मागू नको

काय बोलू श्वासभारे चांदणे डहूळेल का ?
उमलण्याचे सुख फिरुनी, या फुला सोसेल का ?
नीत नवी मरणे मराया, जन्म तू मागू नको

-- वा रा कांत

Rain Rain

Ooh Ooh Ooh
Everywhere I look I see rain. . .

Why am I here if you're there
So far away it's not fair
To be without you - like this

I miss you more than you know
The nights are long, The days slow
Without the warmth of your kiss
Wish you were back here with me
Cause out my window, All I see is

[Chorus:]
Rain, Rain in the sky
Everywhere I look my eyes see
Rain, rain fallin' down
Crying as it hits the ground
Rain, rain in my heart
Every day that we're apart
Rain, Rain
Falling rain, rain
Only rain, rain

The sun is strong when you're near
But when you're gone it disappears
Behind an ocean of blue
The telephone's not good enough
It can't reach out, it can't touch me
The way that you do
Wish you would knock at my door
Cause only you - can stop the pouring

[Chorus]

Maybe I'll go outside
And walk beneath the clouds
Pretend it's you that's watching over me
This isn't the only thing that come's between us now
Baby soon we'll be - together

-- Cher

Cheek to Cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me, I want my arms about you
The charm about you
Will carry me through
To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

-- Billie Holiday

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

-- Eric Idle

हात तुझा हातातून

हात तुझा हातातुन धुंद ही हवा
रोजचाच चंद्र आज भासतो नवा

रोजचेच हे वारे, रोजचेच तारे
भासते परी नवीन विश्व आज सारे
ही किमया स्पर्शाची भारिते जिवा

या हळव्या पाण्यावर मोहरल्या छाया
मोहरले हृदय तसे मोहरली काया
चांदण्यात थरथरतो मधुर गारवा

जन्म जन्म दुर्मिळ हा क्षण असला येतो
स्वप्नांच्या वाटेने चांदण्यात नेतो
बिलगताच जाईचा उमलतो थवा

क्षणभर मिटले डोळे, सुख न मला साहे
विरघळून चंद्र आज रक्तातुन वाहे
आज फुले प्राणातुन केशरी दिवा

-- मंगेश पाडगावकर

You're my world

You're my world, you're every breath I take
You're my world, you're every move I make
Other eyes see the stars up in the sky
But for me they shine within your eyes

As the trees reach for the sun above
So my arms reach out to you for love
With your hand resting in mine
I feel a power so divine

You're my world, you are my night and day
You're my world, you're every prayer I pray
If our love ceases to be
That is the end of my world for me

With your hand resting in mine
I feel a power so divine

You're my world, you are my night and day
You're my world, you're every prayer I pray
If our love ceases to be
That is the end of my world for me
End of my world
End of my world
End of my world for me

-- Helen Reddy

She

She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay

She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry

She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years

Me
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She
She, oh She

हे राष्ट्र प्रेशितांचे

हे राष्ट्र देवतांचे, हे राष्ट्र प्रेशितांचे
आचंद्रसुर्य नान्दो, स्वात्यंत्र भारताचे

कर्तव्यदक्ष भूमि, सितारुघुत्तामाची
रामायणे घडावी, येथे पराक्रमाची
शीर उंच उंच ह्वावे, हिमवंत पर्वताचे
आचंद्रसुर्य नान्दो, स्वात्यंत्र भारताचे

येथे नको निराशा, थोड्या पराभवाने
पार्थास बोध केला, येथेच मधावाने
हा देश स्तन्य प्याला, गीताख्य अमृताचे
आचंद्रसुर्य नान्दो, स्वात्यंत्र भारताचे

जेथे परंपरांचा सन्मान नित्य आहे
जन शासनातलिचा, पायच सत्य आहे
येथे सदा निनादो जयगीत जाग्रुताचे
आचंद्रसुर्य नान्दो, स्वात्यंत्र भारताचे
