“So many people are pretty, yet only a few of them are beautiful.”
-
I woke up in a house surrounded by a lake,
The house was made of mud but that doesn’t justify the beauty I saw.
All the pretty stones in the wall,
Ruby, emerald and so much more.
It was a vision I’ve never seen before.
When it was afternoon,
I walked outside and crossed the lake through a footpath made of clouds.
When I reached the other end,
I saw so many horses playing in the field, they were running around freely.
There were some cows too, churning the grass they seemed so happy in their own,
I saw 2 chipmunks running from one tree to another,
I heard bird’s singing a melodious song and it made my heart jump.
Why did I never come here? I thought.
And since I’m here,
I’ll never leave.-
Chidiya tu kyu udna chahti hai,
Zara sa thehar ja iss zameen par,
Sab kuch milega yaha,
Bas tu udna chhod de.
Abhi jo tere ye naye par hai,
Duniya unhe berukhi se kaatna jaanti hai,
Tu dar mat par,
Bas tu udna chhod de.
Kahi tujhe koi beech raste pe dara na jaaye,
Kamzor si kali si bachchi ko koi utha na le jaaye,
Akeli safar pe jaane ka sapna mat dekh,
Duniya badi zalim hai,
Bas ab apne khwaab bhul kar udna chhod de.-
Fairy tales are pink and blue,
but what if I like white?
Snow White had a Prince Charming,
But what if I want to be a solo queen?
Promises and holding hands were definitely a dream,
But what if I wake up and do not find him?
I prefer my castle to be far away from the land,
Maybe in the sky where nobody can reach ;
There , maybe I could be saved by a true love’s kiss.-
Oh the lies we thought were true,
Like the story of you in front of the red door,
You the pretty in white walked in,
With all the colors lying in the room,
How did you expected to be white still?
You danced in every inch and every crease above the pretty flowers,
It suited you that time,
But how about now when you woke up?
Do you still feel the same?
That little red door, would you keep it forever closed?-
The stars know they have to shine,
Even if I don’t tell them too,
They will still brighten up the sky.
-
If you ask me to choose a flower,
I will choose rose, not just the
rose but the thorns too,
It reminds me that there is beauty in pain,
Love too is red,
And it’s wise now to wake up from
the unrealistic dreams,
Even though they are beautiful,
But it’s better to be pricked by thorns
than to fall in a ditch.-
Never thought it would bring
tears to your eyes,
I’m sorry,
For I was not honest,
But I’ll tell you this now,
I could never forget you.
You and those fireflies in the skies were
my bestest friend ever.
I’ll not be afraid this time,
I’ll close my eyes hoping to see you again.-
Didn’t know you were still here hidden in the corner of my heart,
Until I saw you smile again from afar.
In the cloudy bright fog of memory you smiled,
Whom shall I play with, I asked.-
