‘TIS SORT OF A CONFUSED PATH O CRAZY ONE!


ek Dagar deewaane,
A PATH, O CRAZY ONE!


bhool jaa saaree, beetee baate.n,
FORGET ALL THE PAST AFFAIRS,


bhool jaa yeh afsaane,
FORGET THESE STORIES,

roothee rahe nindiyaa bairan jin ke, nayn se,
FROM WHOSE EYES THE FRIENDLESS SLEEP IS ABSENT!


chayn se kaTe naa jinke raat, oh

"There's always some reason to feel not good enough. And it's hard at the end of the day. I need some distraction, Oh beautiful release... Let me be empty, Oh and weightless, and maybe I'll find some peace tonight." ~ Sarah Maclachlan "Angel"
