Qaeed Ki Dastaan

Qaaeed Ki Daastaah

Intro

Mere kamre ki deewar pe
Aaj bhi kuch saaye thehre hain,
Ek purani si khushboo hai hawa mein,
Aur kuch lafz... jo ab tak mere hain.

Main badla nahi hoon poora,
Bas waqt ne aadatein badal di hain,
Jo baat kabhi aankhon mein thi,
Aaj woh baatein khamoshiyon mein dhal gayi hain.

Verse 1

Mujhe yaad hai woh chhoti si gali,
Jahan shaam bina bulaaye utar aati thi,
Jeb mein kuch sikke, aankhon mein shehar,
Aur dil mein duniya sama jaati thi.

Phir ek din raaste alag hue,
Kisi ne kaha nahi, bas faasle ho gaye,
Jo kal tak mere saath hansa karte the,
Aaj unke naam bhi dheere ho gaye.

Maine bhi phir chalna seekh liya,
Bina kisi ke kadmon ki aahat ke,
Gir kar uthta raha chup-chaap,
Bina kisi se apni haalat kahe.

Pre-Chorus

Mujhe dard se shikayat nahi,
Bas ek baat samajh nahi aayi—
Jo dil se diye the rishte,
Unki keemat itni kam kyun nikli?

Chorus

Meri daastaah kagaz ki nahi,
Kuch nishaan hain jo waqt ne chhode hain,
Kuch chehre ab bhi dil mein hain,
Kuch darwaaze maine khud hi band kiye hain.

Na main jeeta, na main haara,
Bas apna safar nibhata raha,
Jitna khud ko duniya se chhupaya,
Utna hi khud ke kareeb aata raha.

Verse 2

Ab bhi kabhi phone ki screen pe
Purana naam chamak jaata hai,
Ungli rukti hai kuch pal ke liye,
Phir dil khud hi wapas aa jaata hai.

Kuch cheezein delete karne se
Yaadon se delete nahi hoti,
Kuch log paas na hoke bhi
Zindagi se door nahi hote.

Maine shehar toh badalte dekhe,
Par kuch raaste wahi mile,
Har nayi subah ke saath mujhe
Apne hi puraane sawaal mile.

“Tu theek hai?” jab koi poochta hai,
Main aadat se muskura deta hoon,
Sach bolne baithun agar kabhi,
Toh shayad poori raat suna deta hoon.

Bridge – Music Rising

Qaaeed ne khud se ek waada kiya,
Ab jo guzra, usko bojh nahi banayega,
Jo toot gaya usko jodega nahi,
Jo chala gaya usko rokega nahi.

Kyunki har bichhadna haar nahi hota,
Har khamoshi bekaar nahi hoti,
Kabhi-kabhi insaan khud ko paata hai,
Jab uske paas koi aur nahi hota.

Emotional Climax

Aur agar kal mujhe koi pooche,
“Sabse zyada kya khoya?”
Main shayad naam na bata paun,
Bas kahunga—
“Woh main tha... jo sabko khush rakhte-rakhte
kahin peeche reh gaya.”

Maine apni hi aankhon mein dekha hai,
Kitna kuch bina kahe guzarta hai,
Duniya ko sirf chehra nazar aata hai,
Andar ka shehar kaun dekhta hai?

Ab jo hoon, wahi sach hoon,
Na kisi se apni kami chhupaunga,
Jin raaston ne mujhe toda tha kabhi,
Unhi raaston pe ek din muskuraunga.

Final Chorus

Ye daastaah ab sirf dard nahi,
Meri saanson ka hissa hai,
Jo kal tha, woh yaad sahi,
Jo aaj hai... wahi toh zinda hai.

Maine khud ko khud mein paaya hai,
Thoda roya, thoda muskuraya hai,
Jo kuch tha mere paas kabhi,
Usse zyada khud ko paaya hai.

Na koi badla, na koi shikwa,
Na kisi se ab hisaab hai,
Safar lamba hai, raasta anjaana,
Par dil mein ab bhi ek khwaab hai.

Outro – Very Soft

Kuch panne phaad diye maine,
Kuch sambhaal ke rakhe hain,
Kuch naam waqt ke hawaale,
Kuch dil mein aaj bhi rakhe hain.

Aur jab kabhi koi meri kahani pooche,
Main bas itna keh paunga—

Qaaeed ki daastaah khatam nahi hui...
Bas ab woh kisi aur ke liye nahi,
Khud ke liye likhi ja rahi hai.
