Zakhm Dete Ho Khete Ho Siite Raho
Jaann Lekar Kahoge Ke Jeete Raho
Pyar Jab Jab Zameen Par Utara Gyaa
Zindagi Tujhko Sadke Mein Wara Gayaa
Pyar Zinda Raha Maqhtalo Mein Magar
Pyar Jisne Kiya Hai Wo Mara Gya

In the futile hustle of the town, whenever our paths crossed,
I found you lost in stern reflections.
Every time your hesitantly put manly scent diffused towards my nerves, my heart thawed with an overwhelming flicker that glimmered all over my chest, and pierced into my gut, as I carried a heavy weight of adhering passion for you.
While You,
You remained empty.
Perhaps, Your love lived in the beats and mine rested upon the forever, both were perpetually frozen, yet both were together.

एक शोर जगा हैं हुंकार बनकर
जो अंदर तक हैं जला रहा
रोज़ाना कश्मकश में टूटकर
मायूस हरबार घर लौट रहा

तेरी सरलता को आज़माने
गुनाह का बादल छा रहा
न्याय अन्याय के सवालों में
जो तुमको आज नाप रहा

जहा कापते हैं पैर
और चला नही जाता
योद्धा का तासीर
यही हैं परखा जाता

आज रक्त पात जो होगा
युद्ध का भी अंजाम होगा
गांधिव उठाकर हाथ में
इंद्रप्रस्थ जितना होगा

हर कोई जो धकेले गए
छल कपट के ध्वंद में
वीर बनकर वही से हम
जीवन जय करेंगे

लेकर दुर्गा का प्रचंड तेज
वद कर तू महिषासुर
कर महादेव का महातंडव
जब जले सती का देह रूप

मुश्किल हज़ार तमाम जंजीर
तोड़ कर आगे बरेंगे
दस बार अज़माओ गिराकर
ग्यारी बार उठकर लड़ेंगे

अपनो पे, भाईयो पे, गुरु पे
कर उठाना होगा
जब कृष्ण सारथी साथ हमारे
धर्म का विजय होगा

There is one thing about fighters like us,
the stronger ones: We can't dwell in bliss.
Comfort nauseates us to our core.
You shower us with bountiful lovely desirous gifts and we won't know how to respond, how to react, whether to be grateful.
You give us problems, we will plunge ourselves into them, our every bit, our intellect, our emotions, and fight till the end.
We are better at it.
We are better at spending sleepless nights with teary eyes and heads exploding with permutations of penetrative unrealistic situations.
We thrive on it.
Even though our bodies and our minds resist such experiences all I know, we don't thrive on comfort, soothing solace, dates with dear ones, or nights with our sweethearts.
We thrive on hastier challenges, the ones that burn us. That's what we're made of. Our biggest gift. Our greatest source of sorrow.
And in the end what counts is the unflickered consciousness about who we fighters were, at all times!

When your lips yearned to feel his touch,
Wasn't it an old void, thirsty and forlorn?
When you behold the urge to grab his hand,
Wasnt it your palms, that felt empty alone?

When you waited to meet him every night,
I suppose your loneliness dragged your drive,
I see no act of love in this
I clearly see, that it wasn't about him,
Something that you couldnt see through,
darling, it was always about you.

When he drew your waist close to his,
Your chests touched and were about to kiss
A desire planted before u met that person
So easily which u termed affection

I see no act of love in this
I clearly see, that it wasn't about him,
Something that you couldnt see through,
darling, it was always about you.

Sometimes, you need to pick a promising struggle, over an upsetting discomfort.
The tipping point - you must know,
The threshold where your intuition screams: "you need to leave".
Withdrawing, is an art, knowing where to cease,
coming to a halt, quitting the chaos, and creating an intricacy, anew.
Not all resistances you need to endure.
Your battles are yours.

Zindagi me zindagi rahi toh zinda Raha,
Na tu mila, sukoon mila toh zinda raha

"Teri kismat da likhya,
tere toh koi kho nai sakda.
Je usdi meher hove, te tenu ovi mil jaye,
jo tera ho nai sakda"

The motive for being
in a blissful state constantly,
is backed by an
exceptionally subjective reason.
And the reason itself is backed by a thorough understanding of reality.

"Kisi Ko Khyaalon Mein Basaana Sahee Hai Kya,
Agar Baahon Mein Koi Aur Ho?
Aur Jo Baahon Mein Hai Vo Sahee Nahin
To Jo Khyaalon Mein Hai Vo, Galat Kaise??
Agar Apka Dil Kisee Ko Baar-Baar Pukaare
Jise Pukaarana Naapaak Ho
To Kya Ye Galat Hoga Ki Vo Saamne Aa Jae
To Use Andekha Karna Na Gavaar Ho
Aur Vo Saamane Hai To Kyon Hai?
Kya Use Pal Bhar Ke Lie Dekh Lena Bhee Sahi Nahin?
Aur Galat Hai To Sahi Kya Hai?
Kisi Ek Insaan Se Dil Kholkar Pyar Karna Sahi Hai,
To Jab Vo Kisee Aur Se Karata Hai To Mujhe Sahi Kyon Nahin Lagta?
Aur Vo Sahi Hai To Main Galat Kyon?
Ye Sahi Aur Galat Ka Phaisla Aakhir Kaun Karta Hai?”
