You were something wild
And I'm self destructive from the start
May be that's why I loved you
So you could tear me apart....
You should have told me
Before me you made me smile
Before you showed me the stars
Before you lit that candle in my heart
Before you made me want you
You should have told me
That love comes with a price tag!
Yun to banjar si thi
Meri dil ki zameen
Ye ehsas kya hai
Woh janta hi nahin
Yun jo aye ho tum
Banke halki si varish
Sochti hun khuda ki
Koi sajish to nahin
Ruthi hui khwabon ke
Is khali si asman main
Ek akela sitara hai tu
Jo aaj jake chamka hai
Ab iss roshni se teri
Vakif jo hua main
Darta hai ye dil, vapas
Jane se virano main
Ab itna to bata de, khuda
Yeh mohabbat hai
Ya nazar ka dhoka
Ya leher hai ek gunj ki
Jo hai ek pal ka mehaman
Sajake yeh tanha ashiyan
Phir lout jaega apna jahaan
I was flying over the clouds
But still tethered to ground
I rebelled,
Broke the thread
And I soared into the sky
Higher than ever
Looking down
Towards the ground
But as the time flew
Even that freedom
started to taste bitter.....
You remember that day, I saw you in the park?
You were sitting on a swing with a little girl on your lap. A goofy smile was plastered on your face, so real that it burned my heart. I know, you sensed me watching you as you abruptly looked my way.
And I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I looked away before you caught my eyes. I'm sorry that for a little while, it dimmed your charming smile.
The truth is that I'm jealous. Jealous of the way you embrace life, when I feel so burdened by it. Jealous of how brave you must be, to be able to smile in a world like this. You seem to have mastered the art of living while I'm still figuring out its meaning.
Dark magnetic beady eyes
With one gaze, they cage your soul
Cunning smile and a youthful face
Beautiful like the silver moon
She'd look back haughtily
Unduly proud of her beauty
“The moon has scars.”
She'd say, “While I have none.”
I wonder what she thinks now that I've left her scarred with my love.
You were my pain
A cruel feeling
That consumed my mind.
Till I forgot everything else
You are all I thought
And you are all I felt
You were my anchor
That didn't let me surface
I was bound to you
Until the day I drowned
And it was relief I felt
With the release
Of my last breath..
I was your shadow
Always following you
In stormy nights
In grainy lights
Even in your darkest hours
When you were too immersed
In your own darkness to see me.
I was your air
Essence of your life
But unnoticed
Until the day I left
And you realised
What suffocation is.
I was your sun
You frowned
Whenever you looked at me
Hid yourself
In my presence
But you didn't realise
Without me
No dawn is coming.
