Wo tum ho……

Raat mein roshan sa ek chirag, nahi wo chand nahi wo tum ho.
Sannate mein resham si ek pukaar, nahi wo awaaz nahi wo tum ho.

Rukh se dhalta hua naqaab, nahi wo husn nahi wo tum ho,
Maikhane mein chalaka hua ek jam, nahi wo shaaqi nahi wo tum go.

Sardi ki thand mein door se aati hui jo khushboo, nahi wo gulab nahi wo tum ho,
Pehli bearish ka wo makhmali ehsaas, nahi wo boond nahi wo tum ho.

Mannaton ke baad suni ho jisne fariyad, nahi wo khuda nahi wo tum ho,
Chhuke gaya yaadon ke gulshan se aaj koi, nahi wo hawa nahi wo tum ho.

Rakha tha jisko palakon pe maine samhal, nahi wo noor nai wo tum ho,
Aur …..

Chod gaya beech banwar mein is maanjhi ka jo saath, koi aur nahi wo tum ho.

So tired... so much more aware

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step I take is another mistake to you


I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

Every step that I take is another mistake to you
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware.....
