अरे इन यादों को भी क्या दोष दे,
उनको आंखों मे सजाने वाले तो हम खुद निकले।

-

Love hurts a little more,
As the words get stuck in my throat;

I swim into his eyes,
As I stare at them all night;

Love hurts a little more,
When they are mere words and not a war.

Mirror 'O' Mirror,
Whose beauty do you hold?
As I see myself in you-
You hold my flaws,
You hold my scars,
You tell me that the world wears a happy mask.

Mirror 'O' Mirror,
Whom do you reflect the most?
As I remember-
You recite the words,
The shameful words that carve my flaws;
You tell me my ugly truth,
Like the mirror of my mind.

Memories

A pain that lives inside of her,
The scratch that makes the wound hurt yet again;

I am avoided and yet remembered,
I am cherished but also tamed;

She calls me at night to sleep and dream,
Yet she winces with pain as I surface again!

She made me who I am,
Yet why I am the one who is being blamed?

-

Like the broken flower
that feels alive when kept under water;
I just know how to live
whenever I am under your breath.

-

And only if the thunder was heard before lightening,
And the sound of rain falling on the ground came before the smell of wet soil,
Maybe I would have known that hearing things felt better than just feeling.

-

And the tongue that lingered to say those words;
But the lips had always sealed their path.

And you know, the words do regret slipping of the tongue;
But the lips knew the necessity of tricks.

-

The brain nurtured me,
The heart cared;

The nerve made feel touch,
The rushing of blood made me understand;

While one made me know pain,
And the other was trapped inside;

But when at war,
Both parts are righteous after all.

-

O' Lover, let me be the star of your life,
And so, when I perish, I will still twinkle in your eyes.

-

तस्वीर हूं या तक़दीर हूं,
हाथों की लकीर या जहान की मजबूरी हूं।

दिल का गम, होठों की मुसकान हूं,
ये बता क्या में सबसे बदगुमान हूं?

रगो का खून हूं, या दिल का जुनून हूं,
ये बता क्या में खुदसे मजलूम हूं?
