भगवान शंकर ब्रह्मांड के राजा है,
जिनके नेत्र दुनिया में रोशनी प्रदान करती है, ऐसे मायावी, शक्तिशाली है मेरे भोलेनाथ।
जो अमृत त्याग हलाहल पिए,
सोने की लंका त्याग वैराग्य चुने,
ऐसे महानायक है मेरे महाकाल सरकार।
वो त्याग में प्रथम,
वो तप में प्रथम।
ना संसार का मोह,
ना समय उनके सामने प्रबल,
ऐसे है मेरे प्राणनाथ।
गंगा को जटा में बसा ले,
चंद्रमा को श्रृंगार का साधन बना ले,
वासुकीनाथ गले में जिनके,
सर्प का जो पहने यगोपवित,
ऐसे अघोर, भयंकर है मेरे भोले शंकर।
गण प्रभु का सबसे अनोखा,
भृंघी यही है,
श्रृंगी यही है,
नंदी महाराज यहां,
भूत प्रेत यही है।
आंसू भी प्रभु का इतना प्रबल की नाम मिला तो रुद्राक्ष का,
और धारण करो तो बल स्वयं तुम में रुद्र सा।

I am waiting here for the rain,
Waiting for my soul to get buried in the soul.
Slowly moving forward and slowly I am dying!
Mind is carrying a burden of thoughts,
Body carrying wounds to show how fascinating death sounds!
I am drowning and drowning,
Every night, when I am alone.
I just sit on the railings,
Hoping the wind would push me down!
And someday when I fall,
I will fall away and die.
And the memories of mine,
Will get stuck in your mind.
I am drowning in the ocean,
Thinking it’s easy to survive.
Oh how hard it is getting,
To breathe and to come out!

-

The darkness is too dark for the light to penetrate,
I have been here for so long and I don’t see a ray of hope!
Can’t you hear my scream?
Can’t you just say for once that you care for me?
I’m dying daily and all I can see is my own people digging up my grave!
Pushing me to the water,
Holding me infront of the fire and burning me to ashes when to live was what I desired!
I don’t want to be here,
I feel like I am unwanted.
No one accepts me,
Am I that hard to love?
I know I’m broken,
But am I so bad that you let me go when I’m sad and dying is all I’m concerned of?

-

I just wanna see you smile,
And fall in love,
All over again.

मौत आए तो अलविदा कह देंगे,
सागर में समा कर आसमान में रह लेंगे।
और अश्क ना बहे,
ये याद रखना।
तेरे रोने से मेरे जाने का अपमान होगा।
तेरे दिल में वही जगह हो ये रखना तू कोशिश,
मेरे जाने से तकलीफ जरा कम होगी अगर दिल में होगा इश्क़।
बहुत सब्र किया है मौत के लिए,
अब आ गई तो कैसे ना जाऊं?
इस मतलबी दुनिया से दूर होना है,
मौका मिला है तो कैसे ठुक्राऊ!
सब ने है छोड़ा जब बारी थी निभाने की।
तेरे हाथ बहुत अपने से लगे थे,
ज़िन्दगी की दौड़ में सबसे पहले छुट गए।

The wind slowly stopped blowing the whispers in my ears.
The silence started to make a lot of noise and my ears could barely bear with it.
The water of the lake, showed me your face!
The face screaming my name in the form of the waves.
Telling me to leave so I don't drown,
For you were too tired to save me from going down.
What about the pull?
A pull towards you naming it love and later calling it an issue.
I was running away,
I was screaming your name.
I want you back,
For every other promising person left.
Let me down today,
So I can meet you tomorrow!

A few years later, when I will remove the dust from your letters and smile,
I want you to be by my side and tell me what made you write those letters.
A few years later, when you do your favourite thing, stargazing...!!
I want to sit with you and have you in my arms and we'll do that together.
I won't mind seeing the stars melting into morning and the moon bidding us goodbye as long as I have you in my arms and all I can feel is peace.
A few years later, when we listen to our favourite song, I won't mind dancing with you in a place not so bright and amidst the beautiful music, I would love to tell you how much you mean to me.
A few years later, when we go to sleep, I want you to rest your head on my chest and sleep with no worries in the warmth of my arms.
I won't mind staying in the bed a little longer in the morning.
