HaMein Chahiye Tha Milna…

Yeh Haseen Shaam Apni,
Abhi Jis men Ghul Rahi Hai,
Tere Pairahan Ki Khushbu
Abhi Jis men Khil rahe Hain
Mere Khwab Ke Shagoofey,
Zara Dair Ka Hai Manzar..
Zara Dair Me Ufaq Pe
Khilega Koi Sitara,
Teri Simt Dekh Kar Wo
Karega Koi Ishara..
Tere Dil ko Aayega Phir
Kisi Yaad Ka Bulawa,
Koi Qissa-e-judai,
Koi Kaar-E-Naa-mukammal..
Koi Khwaab-e-naashagufta,
Koi Baat Kehne Wali..
Hamein Chahiye Tha Milna
Kisi ehd-e-meherbaan Mein..
Kisi Khwab Ke Yaqeen Mein,
Kisi Aur Aasman Par
Kisi Aur Sarzameen Mein,
HaMein Chahiye Tha Milna…
- Parveen Shakir

English Translation:
We ought to have met
A melting twilight,
the world in its entirety dissolves.
The scent of you,
the blossoming
populations of dreams.
All dissolves.. … a vision deferred.

In a while,
a star shall emerge on the horizon,
to gaze at you,
replete with meaning,
[And] your heart shall then reminisce,
there shall be an echo of a memory,
the tale of a separation,
of an unfinished moment,
of dreams unborn,
thoughts unsaid.

We ought to have met,
in another time,
in pursuit of attainable dreams,
below a different sky,
upon a different earth,
We ought to have met then, there.

Fear of Failure

I've tried my best

dedicated to my 2 best friends


I've tried my best to let go of you, But I dont want to


I shouldnt love you but I want to
I just cant turn away
I shouldnt see you but I cant move
I cant look away


I shouldnt love you but I want to
I just cant turn away
I shouldnt see you but I cant move
I cant look away


And I dont know how to be fine when Im not
Cause I dont know how to make a feeling stop


Just so you know
This feelings taking control of me
And I cant help it
I wont sit around, I cant let him win now
Thought you should know
Ive tried my best to let go of you
But I dont want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know


Its getting hard to be around you
Theres so much I cant say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way


And I dont know how to be fine when Im not
Cause I dont know how to make a feeling stop


This emptiness is killing me
And Im wondering why Ive waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
Im waiting here...been waiting here
