What would you do,
When you know you can’t do
anything about something?
What would you do,
When you find someone,
You think you were looking for,
Someone who’d make you whole,
Complete you, once again.
But they can’t be with you,
For you don’t complete that someone.
You can’t do anything.
Because, life never is, fair,
never was and never will be.
The ones you can’t have,
Are the ones you always fall for.
And for that, you can’t do anything.

Tere noor ka deedar kara de.
Kaafi waqt se kiya hai intezaar.
Kabhi mandir.
Kabhi masjid.
Kabhi Gurudwara.
Dhunda maine tujhe
na jaane kahan kahan.
Kara de mujhe deedar tera.
De de ek jhalak apni.
Noor – e – Khuda.

The Gun is loaded.
Pointed at my enemy,
My finger’s waiting
to pull the trigger,
His time has come,
He has now figured.
He cannot outrun his destiny,
He cannot hide.
Soon he’ll be lying down dead,
With eyes open wide.
Can he be saved?
Can he be free?
// I am my own enemy //

With a hole in my heart,
And eyes filled with tears,
Standing on the edge of this cliff,
Now I feel no fear.
Been waiting for too long now,
For someone to come and
Fill this hole in my heart,
Fill this emptiness in my life.
Standing here on the edge,
Now I speak to you, my Lord.
Why did you give me hope,
When there was no one
you were going to send?
Is this what you wanted,
Is this how it’s going to end?

Rehmat kar tere bande pe.
Takhleeq hoon mai tera hi.
Riha kar mujhe is duniya se.
Zanjeero se bandha hoon yahan.
Karam kar mujhpe.
Panah de de mujhe.
Le ja mujhe jaha rehta hai tu.
Azaad kar mujhe mere takhleefon se.
Rehmat kar tere bande pe.
Takhleeq hoon mai tera hi.

It’s not the ghosts or those creatures you find in the woods, that you should be scared of.
You should be scared of the fact that you don’t know what’s going on in a person’s head. You have no idea what they might be thinking. What they’re going to do. You should be scared, because you don’t know what’s coming next.
Humans are what you should be scared of.

Don’t leave me broken hearted tonight.
Tonight, love me like there’s
Going to be no tomorrow.
Tonight, make me forget
All my pain, all my sorrows.
I know, you’ve made up your mind.
I know, you’ll walk past me, just like a stranger,
When you’ll see me tomorrow.
I could’ve been a part too,
But you chose a life without me.
You chose your dreams over my love.
Time is a healer, it’ll heal my heart too.
It might take some time, but I’ll be alright.
But tonight’s not that night.
Let’s fill this night with love, with light.
// don’t leave me broken hearted tonight //

Stop testing me.
Stop testing my patience.
Stop, before I unleash my wrath upon thee.
I do not care if I loved you once.
I’m tired of me getting disappointed,
Over and over and over again.
Stop, before I forget what you were to me.
I’m giving you one final chance to flee.
Stop testing my patience.
Stop testing me.
-Abhishek Gupta
Sorrow. Despair. Grief.
We’ve got so many synonyms for sadness.
People often ask me, why am I like this?
Why am I so quiet, so melancholic?
I just smile and walk away.
Y’all don’t understand it, do you?
Happiness is a part of life, but so is sadness.
Come, take away the melancholia from me.
Ever wondered, then who would I be?
Imagine, taking away all the water from the sea.
Do you get it now?
That’s what makes me, me.
Melancholy brings me glee.
-Abhishek Gupta
Only you can turn yourself
Into the thing you want to become.
No one else will do that for you.
People would come and criticize you,
’cause that’s the only thing they can do.
They will never understand you or your dreams,
For all they know is how to deem.
Your future is like a clay pot, to which,
Only you can give shape.
For you’re the potter of your future.
Do not depend on others, my friend.
Because only you can turn yourself
Into the thing what you want to become.
