twisted dreams, blinded faith
unspoken love, unborn hate
no tears of joy, no feelings of pain
my life i live, by an unbound chain

no summer i know, no spring i see
no sunshine new,no dewdrops sweet
no soul within, no hopes without
i die within, no pain without

time goes on, and i remain
silent nights, my sole domain
of life and love, i’m a ruler slain
my life i live, by an unbound chain

wherever i go, whatever i see
forever darkness, i cannot flee
i can take no more this pain
take my life, take my soul
take my dreams, take me whole

make me a nightmare, forever gone..

bewafaa zindagi ki bayaaban mein nikle hum leke pyar ka kafila,
wafa se door tho ho gaye, ab tanhaai se bhi hai koson ka faasla

unki nawaazish mein paai humne aisi aafiyat,
marhum zindagi mein jaise likh dee ho kisine qiyaamat

furqat mein dil ka aaina bhi kya saahir hai,
dhoondte hai hum khud ko, aur bewafa zaahir hai

khulthi hai aankhen, tho dekhthe hain numaaish mein chehraa tera,
jhukthi hai palken, tho paathe hain tasavvur mein aks tera..


Hasrat yeh nahin ki mahaul hai laakh aghyaar se bhari,
Afsos yeh ki talaash thi iltifaat ki, aur paai sirf aaine se yaari

ek woh hain, jo hamare wujood se bekhabar hain,

ek hum hain, jo unke khayaalon se zinda hain…

humse na poochiye adaa kya cheez hai,

hum tho sirf unke husn se waaqif hain.

humse na poochiye deewangee kya cheez hai,

hum tho sirf unki tishnagi mein jeethe hain…

A song by Jim Brickman, featuring Wayne Brady (The guy from ‘Whose Line is it anyway?’), called ‘Beautiful’…
From the Moment I saw you,
from the moment I looked into your eyes
there was something about you
I knew I knew
that you were once in a life time
a treasure near impossible to find
and I know how lucky I am to have you

Cause I’ve seen the rainbows that can take your breath away
the beauty of the setting sun that ends a perfect day
and when it comes to shooting stars, I’ve seen a few
but I’ve never seen anything…as beautiful as you

Holding you in my arms
no one else has fit so perfectly
I could dance forever with you, with you
and at the stroke of midnight
please forgive me if I can’t let go
cause I never dreamed I’d find a Cinderella of my own

from the moment I saw you,
from the moment I looked into your eyes…

Slowly….

Slowly, and ever so slowly,
i burn, like the fire within
and i light sweet pyres
of all desires within

i lie on a bed of thorns,
and i dream, of beautiful roses
when i burn, like the fire within
i realise, i have ashes for dreams

no sun in my day
no stars in my night
i battle, i lose
this war i fight

burnt dreams i see
lost hope i possess
i walk alone
on a nowhere road
and i burn
this life i caress

ae kaash ki milta hamein koi sabab jeene ka,
zindagi ki mayoos safar mein koi hamdard milta,
na jaane kahaan dhoonde hum saaya shafaaqat ka,
dil ki be-malah kashti ko koi kinaarah milta…

not very good, but still ok :)

today’s ramblings…

aarzoo yeh ki unke palkon ke aanchal mein panaah mil jaye,
humsafar bane woh, tho milke gumraah ho jaaye.

mana main sharaab beimaan, par bewafa nahi madhoshi ka
saaqi kitne taalib mere, saaya magar hoon maikade ka

————-

hain woh khoobsurat ithni, ki husn sharmaaye
hain woh nadaan itni, ki masoomiyat be’adaab ho jaaye

I’ll try and put up an english translation some time soon…
