🪾Khiza

"Dil na-umeed to nahi nakaam hi to hai,

Lambi hai gham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai "

Khaab se khaab ka safar ho gayi

Zindagi neend si basar ho gayi

चाहत का भी कोई फ़साना होता है?

न मिलना भी कोई चाहना होता है?

कितने चाँद बीत गए क्या फर्क है

दिन गिनना कब इश्क़ निभाना होता है?

आप इश्क़ में जन्नत ढूंढ रहे हैं?

आशिक़ों को दोज़क भी कोई बहाना होता है?

आज फ़ुर्सत नहीं चलो मान लिया हुज़ूर

मुसलसल मशरूफियत भी कोई सताना होता है?

कागा मान नहीं रहा अब मेरी, Khiza

ऐसा भी नैनों को तरसाना होता है?

-Khiza'

Soz-e-nafs, aqeedat par bhaari kyu hai

Kabhi khwab zindagi se lagte hai

Kabhi soche zindagi guzaari kyu hai

Khuda bhi puch lega ek din mujhse

Ki har shikayat aakhir tumhaari kyu hai

Hume jahan ki poshidagi ne pukara tha

Wahan jalwat bulane ki taiyaari kyu hai

Roz nayi aazmaishein 'azm-e-dil ki liye

Aisi beraham duniya humaari kyu hai

I know you would cry

I never meant to

That's what I lived by

To see you smile

And I wouldn't be

The weight on your chest

So you can fly

So high like you like

And there wouldn't be

A shadow in your sun

So you can shine

So bright like you like

And I loved you

While I was alive

Now you can just live

So free like you like

This deep sense of loneliness

This sense of impending doom

This sense of life slipping away

Tell me if this is just how it is

Tell me if I am losing my mind

Tell me something, anything

I can no longer bear this uncertainty

Tell me what I need to hear mother

That if you knew this would be

You love me enough to never have birthed me

इसकी ख़ाख समेटने का इंतजाम कर लूं

क्या होगा, वही इश्क-बेरुखी-जुदाई-ग़म

तुमसे झगड़ा किस बात पे करना है, इंतजाम कर लूं"

But I do know how,

What does it mean I do not know

To live, to die, to even know.

It was the last bit of that little girl that lived in me

Something inside me died, again

It was the last of hope, love, passion and dream

Something inside me died, again

But I guess I'm just a snake changing skins

Something inside me died, again

Kuch hawa ke jhonke tez ho jaate hai,

Kuch sookhi daale kamzor.
