एक ये शक़ कि क्या तू चाहे सिर्फ मुझे
एक ये ख्वाहिश कि काश तू चाहे सिर्फ मुझे

-

Hug me if I push you away
Hold me if I say "don't stay"
Listen to me when I can't express
Don't overlook when I confess
Pull me close and dance with me
You'll fall in love with insanity
Take a chance with me
Make me drench with you in the rain
I'd say no but make me do it again
Put everything aside, once in a while
Long drive, starry night,
You and I
Do you fantasize?

यूँ करीब न तुम मेरे आया करो
तुम्हें चाहने की ख्वाहिश अधूरी है
वो तो तुम अभी मेरे नहीं इसलिए
हद में रहना हमारी मजबूरी है

Stop asking me about my favorite color
Let it be known to you from the dresses I wear
Rather ask me my lows and my fears
Cherish in my joy and solace in my tears
Hold me up when I am at my worst
For I know if u ask for help I'd be the first
Ask me why I'm happy about a night time
Is it the moon? The stars? Or something's on my mind?
Don't just ask me name of the movie I like
But ask me which character I admire and why
Not every talk needs to sound clever and smart
All that matters is it's real and heart to heart

अजीब सा ख्याल है
बता दूँ तो क्या समझ पाओगे तुम?
कुछ टूटा सा ख्वाब है
दिखा दूँ तो शायद उलझ जाओगे तुम
कभी किस्से कहानी में यूँ ही
कभी हस्ती ज़ुबानी से यूँ ही
धीरे से राज़ खोल भी दूँ
और उस मर्म को बोल भी दूँ
तो क्या गले लगा कर उस मलाल को दूर कर पाओगे तुम?
कितने वक्त से मन बेताब है
जता दूँ तो शायद खुद बिखर जाओगे तुम

If I show less emotion
I am unsympathetic
If I show a bit more
I am histrionic
If I show the right amount
I am calculative

And I become "too hard to deal with"

If I say more
I am maddening
If I talk less
I am hiding things
If I say the right amount
I am deceptive

And I become "too hard to deal with"

If I cry for help
I am ridiculous
If I endure alone
I have some wickedness
Even if I try to balance it all
I am always offending

And So I become "too hard to deal with"

कुछ अनकही बातों सा तू मेरी
लबों पर यूँ आते आते रुक गया
बिन किसी उल्फ़त के जीने का गुरूर था
तुझसे नज़रें क्या मिलीं
मेरा ये अभिमान झुक गया

They asked her "you fine?"
She answered calmly "yes, why?"
They said "You seem different"
"It's so apparent"
She smiled and whispered
"I wasn't raised a quitter."
That was said, she moved on
And decided to loon on
Around the entire city
For she want no pity
Since she understood
Something that was overlooked
By her, So she gathered
Herself together
And asked herself for a favor
For she had not known anyone greater
And she promised what she had withheld
'To never look down on herself'

-

एक बात है जो
सब भूल जाया करते हैं

कि होठों से निकले शब्द
वापिस नहीं आया करते हैं

क्यूँ ठेस पहुंचाते हो उनको
जो तुमसे प्यार निभाया करते हैं

सच ही तो है कि खारा पानी पी कर
पौधे अक्सर सिर्फ मुरझाया करते हैं

Give them everything else to talk about you but not your private life, never your private life
