Us din tumhari har chal ko,

I am creating my own great history,
From the very start until the very end.

My heart is tired of making excuses,
For the person who only gives me bruises.

Dil tootne ki koi awaaz nahi hoti,
Par iska dard itna zyada hota hai,
Ki poori duniya sunsan lagne lagti hai.

Waiting for the love that you once kept.

Mohabbat mein bas yahi ek gham hai,
Ki hum jise toot kar chahte hain,
Wahi humein thokar maar kar jata hai.

Breaking my heart was your choice alone,
Now you are gone and I am on my own,
Living in a house that is no longer a home.

The moon is my only friend at night,
Shining for me with its pale soft light.

Like the quiet rustling of the autumn trees.

Sometimes I just want to disappear far away,
To a place where nobody knows my name,
I am tired of pretending that I am okay,
And playing this endless social media game.

Khamoshi ka bhi apna ek alag maza hai,
Ye wo zubaan hai jo sab samajhti hai,
Par bolti kuch nahi hai kisi se bhi,
Bas andar hi andar sab sambhal leti hai.

In the silence of the night I find my soul,
Gathering the pieces that the world broke,
Trying to make myself once again whole,
Hidden behind the dark and heavy smoke.

Akela hoon par udaas nahi hoon main,
Bas duniya ke is shore se door hoon,
Apne sukoon ki talash mein nikla hoon,
Apni hi khamoshi mein thoda magnoor hoon.

The sun will surely shine on your path today.

Every sunrise brings a new chance for you,
To correct the mistakes of your past days,
Start with a smile and a vision that is new,
And watch how life changes in many ways.

Kyuki waqt kitna bhi bura kyu na ho,
Ise badalte der nahi lagti kabhi bhi,

I miss your smile and your warm touch,
I never knew I would love you this much.

Yaad aati hai teri har ek baat mujhe,
Kaash tu mere paas hota is waqt,
To ye dil itna akela mehsoos na karta.

Distance can stop me from seeing you,
But it can’t stop me from loving you.

Tumhari yaadon ka silsila rukta nahi hai,
Aankhein band karu ya kholu hamesha,
Bas tera hi chehra saamne aata rehta hai.

I look at the moon and I think of you,
Are you looking at the same moon too?
I wonder if you miss me as much as I do.

Itna door kyu chale gaye tum humse,
Ki ab tumhari awaaz bhi sunne ko taraste hain,
Ye dil har pal bas tumhe hi pukarta hai,
Par badle mein sirf khamoshi hi milti hai.

Missing you is a habit I cannot break,
Every second feels like a very long year,
I would do anything for your sweet sake,
Just to have you standing right over here.

Kaash koi aisa rasta hota mere paas,
Jo seedha tere dil tak jata ho hamesha,
Main sab kuch chhod kar aa jata tere paas,
Bas teri ek jhalak dekhne ke liye aaj bhi.

The bed feels empty and the room is so cold,
Without your laughter ringing in the air,
I keep remembering the stories you told,
And I realize how much I actually care.

Yaadein hi reh jati hain insaan ke jane ke baad,
Baaki to sab mitti mein mil jata hai ek din,
Par tumhari yaadein mere dil mein hamesha rahengi,
Jaise koi gehra nishan jo kabhi nahi mitt-ta.

I would rather be alone with my pride,
Than stay with someone who hides me inside.

Apni izzat apne hath mein hoti hai,
Jo humein nazar-andaz karte hain hamesha,
Humein unhe bhulane mein hi bhalai lagti hai.

I don’t chase, I replace and I move on,
My time is gold and your chance is gone.

Zameer bech kar jeena humein nahi aata,
Hum thoda kam kama lenge chalega,
Par kisi ke aage jhukna humein manzoor nahi.

Self-love is the greatest love of all,
Protect your heart and stand very tall,
Never let someone watch you fall.

Main jaisa hoon waisa hi rahung hamesha,
Agar tumhe meri sacchai pasand nahi hai,
To tumhara meri zindagi se jana hi behtar hai,
Kyuki main khud ko badalne wala nahi hoon.

Do not lower your standards for anyone,
Because you are a diamond in a pile of stone,
Once you realize how much you are worth,
You will never feel scared of being alone.

Mera lehza thoda kadwa zaroor ho sakta hai,
Par main jhooth bol kar kisi ka dil nahi jeet-ta,
Jo log sacchai ki kadar karna jaante hain,
Wahi meri dosti ke layak hote hain hamesha.

Know your value and what you bring to the table,
Do not let anyone treat you like a second choice,
You are strong, you are smart, and you are able,
So let the whole world hear your powerful voice.

Izzat uski karo jo tumhari izzat kare,
Warna bina baat ke kisi ke piche bhagna,
Sirf apni nazron mein girne ke barabar hai,
Isse accha hai ki tum akele hi khush raho.

Peace is not found in the noisy crowd,
It is found in the heart when it’s not proud.

Sukoon ki talash mein bhatak raha tha,
Phir ehsaas hua ki asli sukoon to,
Maa ke kadmo mein aur ghar ki roti mein hai.

Sometimes a quiet room is all I need,
To heal the wounds that continue to bleed.

Duniya ki bhag-daur se thoda door hoon,
Aaj kal main khud ki company mein,
Pehle se zyada khush aur magnoor hoon.

Nature is the best medicine for the mind,
Leave all your worries and stress behind,
Peace is the only treasure you should find.

Chai ki chuski aur hathon mein ek kitaab,
Bas yehi hai mera sukoon ka nuskha,
Baaki duniya jaye tel lene, hum to khush hain.

The sound of rain and a heart that is light,
Sleeping with a clear soul every single night,
This is the life that I want for myself,
Far away from the struggle for power and wealth.

Zindagi ko thoda dheere jeena seekh liya,
Har baat par reaction dena chhod diya maine,
Kyuki sukoon wahi milta hai jahan hum,
Duniya ki baaton ko dil par lena band kar dete hain.

Your mind is a garden, keep it very clean,
Don’t let the weeds of anger grow inside,
Keep it peaceful, quiet, and very green,
With no secrets or shadows left to hide.

Khamosh raho aur bas apna kaam karo,
Sukoon tabhi milega jab tumhara dil,
Kisi ke liye nafrat nahi balki dua rakhega,
Yehi sabse badi shanti hai is duniya mein.

People change like the seasons of the year,
One day they love you, then they disappear.

Logon ke chehre par kai chehre hote hain,
Dikhate kuch aur hain aur hote kuch aur hain,
Is jhoothi duniya se ab darr lagne laga hai.

Trust is a very expensive gift to give,
To people who don’t know how to live.

Meethi baatein karne wale aksar,
Peeth piche khanjar ghonpne ka shoq rakhte hain,
Isliye ab hum har kisi par bharosa nahi karte.

The world is a stage and we are all actors,
Playing our roles with so many hidden factors,
Waiting for the curtains to fall at the end.

Waqt aane par sabki asliyat saamne aa hi jati hai,
Kaun kitna apna hai aur kaun kitna paraya,
Ye bura waqt humein bahut acche se samjha jata hai.

Don’t be fooled by the words that they speak,
Watch their actions when you are feeling weak,
People will show you their true colors soon,
Like the phases of the dark and changing moon.

Aaj kal ke rishte sirf matlab par tikke hain,
Jab tak kaam hai tab tak hi salam dua hai,
Jaise hi kaam khatam hua log pehchante tak nahi,
Yehi aaj ki duniya ki sabse badi kadwi sacchai hai.

They smile to your face and talk behind your back,
Character is what so many people currently lack,
It is better to stay alone and be very strong,
Than to stay with people where you don’t belong.

Zaroorat thi to hum unke liye sab kuch the,
Aaj unhe hamari koi yaad tak nahi aati,
Shayad isi ko matlabi duniya kehte hain doston,
Jahan sirf kaam nikalne ke liye rishte banaye jate hain.

I love you more than you will ever know,
But my feelings are something I never show.

Ek tarfa mohabbat ka bhi apna alag maza hai,
Isme na unhe khone ka darr hota hai,
Aur na hi unhe pane ki koi umeed hoti hai.

I am happy just seeing you smile from afar,
You are my moon and my most favorite star.

Tumhe chahna meri aadat si ban gayi hai,
Tumhe khabar ho ya na ho isse fark nahi padta,
Tum bas meri duaon mein hamesha rahte ho.

I write your name on the pages of my mind,
Thinking of a love that I will never find,
Being your secret lover is all I am designed.

Kaash main tumhe bata paata ki tum mere liye kya ho,
Par darr lagta hai ki kahi meri sacchai se,
Humari dosti ka ye pyaara rishta bhi na toot jaye.

Watching you with someone else hurts a lot,
But I will keep a smile on my face for you,
I will cherish every single memory we’ve got,
And stay in the shadows like I always do.

Tumhare liye mere dil mein jo jagah hai,
Wo shayad kabhi koi aur nahi le payega,
Ye ek tarfa ishq hai mera jo hamesha rahega,
Tumhare pas rehne ka bas yahi ek bahana hai.

I don’t expect you to love me back one day,
But I promise to always be there for you,
In my silent prayers, I will always say,
May God keep you happy in everything you do.

Pyaar to dono taraf se hota hai aksar,
Par jo ek tarfa hota hai wo sabse saccha hota hai,
Kyuki isme kuch milne ki koi lalach nahi hoti,
Bas unki khushi dekh kar hi sukoon mil jata hai.

A smile is the best makeup you can wear,
It shows the world that you really don’t care.

Khush rehna seekh lo choti choti baaton mein,
Kyuki badi khushiyan to kabhi kabhi aati hain,
Par ye chote pal hi zindagi ko haseen banate hain.

Let your laughter echo in the silent sky,
Don’t ask questions and don’t ask why.

Muskurana meri fitrat mein shamil hai,
Dukh chahe kitne bhi kyu na ho zindagi mein,
Hum rona chhod kar hansna pasand karte hain.

Happiness is a choice that you make today,
Chase all the dark and gloomy clouds away,
Enjoy the sunshine that comes your way.

Zindagi bahut khoobsurat hai agar tum hansna jante ho,
Har mushkil aasaan ho jati hai ek muskurahat se,
Bas apne andar ke bacche ko kabhi marne mat dena.

Keep a happy heart and a very peaceful mind,
Treat everyone you meet with a soul that is kind,
The joy you give out is the joy you will find,
Leaving all the bitterness and sadness behind.

Choti si zindagi hai hans kar jee lo doston,
Kya pata kal ho na ho ye haseen pal hamare,
Aaj jo mila hai usme hi sukoon dhoond lo,
Kyuki khushi kahin bahar nahi, hamare andar hi hai.

Spread love and laughter wherever you go,
You never know whose day you might brighten,
Be the light that helps someone else grow,
And watch your own heavy burdens lighten.

Hansna seekho itna ki rona bhi bhool jao,
Har pal ko aise jiyo jaise ye aakhri ho,
Zindagi to sabko milti hai ek hi baar magar,
Ise khoobsurat banana sirf hamare hath mein hai.
