It is the proof that you are fighting.

The struggle hidden beneath is the real story,
Which nobody sees but your own tired soul.

Time is a river that flows only one way,
Once it passes, it never comes back to you.

Waqt ki raftar ko koi rok nahi saka aaj tak,

Time is unpredictable and life is very short,
Love and live as much as you can right now.

Guzra hua waqt sirf yaadein ban kar reh jata hai,
Koshish karo ki wo yaadein hamesha pyari hon,

Finding our way through the mist of the years,
Hoping to find a place where we finally belong.

Waqt hath se ret ki tarah nikalta hi chala gaya,
Zindagi toh bas isi pal ka naam hai mere pyaare dost.

Solitude is where you find your true self,
Away from the judgment and noise of others.

Tanhai mein bhi ek ajeeb sa sukoon milta hai,
Jahan kisi ko dikhawa karne ki zarurat nahi hoti.

It is better to be alone than in bad company,
For loneliness teaches you how to be your own friend,
And life becomes easier when you like your own self.

Bheed mein reh kar bhi hum aksar akele hote hain,
Kyuki dil ki baat sunne wala koi nahi milta yahan,
Zindagi mein tanhai hi hamari sabse purani saheli hai.

Do not fear the silence of an empty room,
It is the only place where you can hear your heart,
Telling you the stories you have forgotten long ago.

Akele chalne ka bhi apna ek alag hi maza hota hai,
Na kisi ke piche chhutne ka darr na kisi ko khone ka gham,
Zindagi ke is safar mein hum khud hi apne raahi hain.

Loneliness is not just about being without people,
It is about being without the one who truly knows you,
Life can be very crowded yet very lonely at the same time,
Unless you find peace within the walls of your own mind.

Log kehte hain ki tanhai insaan ko maar deti hai,
Magar sach toh ye hai ki tanhai hume jeena sikhati hai,
Zindagi ki asli pehchan tabhi hoti hai mere dost,
Jab hamare paas hamare saaye ke siva koi aur nahi hota.

Learn to enjoy your own company before anyone else’s,
Because people come and go but you stay with yourself,
Life is a solo trip where others are just temporary guests,
Treat yourself with the kindness you give to the world.

Tanhai ka alam wahi jante hain jo akele roye hain,
Muskurate chehre ke piche kitne dard soye hain yahan,
Zindagi ne hume sab kuch diya magar ek hum-safar nahi,
Jo hamari khamoshi ko samajh kar hume sine se laga le.

Happiness is not a destination you reach,
It is the way you travel through your daily life.

Choti khushiyan hi bada sukoon deti hain aksar,
Badi kamyabi ki daud mein inhe nazarandaz mat karna.

Find joy in the smell of the earth after the rain,
And the way the morning sun touches your face,
These small gifts of life are absolutely free for you.

Muskurahat hi sabse badi daulat hai is duniya mein,
Isse bantne se yeh kabhi kam nahi hoti mere dost,
Zindagi mein khush rehne ka bahana dhundte raho bas.

A kind word can change someone’s entire day,
Be the reason why someone believes in goodness today,
Life is too short to be anything but kind and happy.

Ghar ki chaye aur apno ka saath hi kafi hai sukoon ke liye,
Bahar ki duniya mein toh sirf dikhawa aur shor milta hai,
Zindagi ko saadgi se jeene mein hi asli khushi chhupi hai.

Don’t wait for everything to be perfect to be happy,
Because life will never be perfect and time will pass,
Be happy right now with whatever you have in your hands,
Gratitude is the quickest way to find joy in your heart.

Bachon ki hasi mein khuda ka noor dikhta hai aksar,
Unki masumiyat se hume bahut kuch seekhna chahiye yahan,
Zindagi ko bojh mat banao, ise ek khel ki tarah khelo,
Jahan har haar mein bhi ek seekh aur har jeet mein shukar ho.

A warm hug and a listening ear can heal a lot of wounds,
Money can’t buy the comfort of a true and honest friend,
Life is made of these tiny threads of love and care,
Which keep us warm when the world outside gets cold.

Khush rehne ka koi secret mantra nahi hota mere bhai,
Bas dusro ki khushi mein apni khushi dhundna seekh lo,
Zindagi bohot choti hai nafrat aur shikayat karne ke liye,
Pyar banto aur pyar pao, isi mein asli zindagi ka maza hai.
