You know I have never met you I tell you, it really sucks But then, I think it gives me a leverage And it’s not bad as such. I can think of you, the hell way I want to, And there is nothing you can do about it, until you come and stop me to do. And it may seem like a joke, but I am not joking, it is true, Whoever are you, I think of you, does it really matter, that I haven’t, like ever, met thou? ...
वाह मेहरुल! खेल ये तुमने अच्छा ही खेला, मुझसे अपना सब कुछ हार गयीं, बस एक मुझे ही जीत लिया! ~रबी [ Great Mehrul! You played such a clever game, You lost everything to me,but made sure you finally win me! ]
मेरी दिक्कत और उसकी परेशानी में अंतर सिर्फ़ इतना रहा मोहसिन, मेरे पास वक्त ना रहा और वो वक्त का मोहताज़ हो गया… ~रबी [ The only difference between my dilemma and his problem was, That I didn’t have time left with me and he had to beg for time… ]
And tomorrow, if you hear that your friend has died, Don’t believe what the world says, they are true lies, I may not be with you tonight, but… Believe in me and my 9 words… “I am Alive, I am Alive, I am Alive”. ~RavS
Needed the tears to make me stronger, A little bump on head to make it clearer, I am not a structure of mortar and iron, I am not sissy if I cry, I am just human. A girl. With flesh, bones and emotions, I also get hurt like every other person. Blessed are those who can cry & move on, Some unfortunate ones don’t even have tears to befriend. So, I will cry, I will wail. But that’s just about it. Come hell or high water, I. Will. Not. Quit. ...
तेरे ग़म मिटा नहीं सकता तो क्या, तेरे ग़म भुला तो सकता हूँ, तेरे आँसू हटा नहीं सकता तो क्या, कुछ देर हँसा तो सकता हूँ … ~रबी [ So what if I can’t remove your sadness, I can make you forget them, So what, if I can’t remove your tears, I can make you laugh for a while. ]
जन्म तूने मुझे दिया, जा तूने मुझे ख़रीद लिया, अब ज़लील कर, तू नीलाम कर, ना परवाह जो अंजाम कर, रहम कर, बस इतना सा परवरदिगार, ज़िन्दगी ना देना अगली बार। जा खुदा… इस बार मैंने तुझे माफ़ किया… ~रबी [ You gave me birth, Yes, now you own me forever, Now insult me or auction me, I don’t care what you do to me, But do a favor, if you can, Don’t give me life next time. ...
ना रहा अब विश्वास, रब्बा तेरे भरोसों पे , ना ही तुझसे कोई आस, तू करेगा कोई तरस, गम के बादल तो छायें हैं बरसों से, है हिम्मत, तो अब आ बरस। ~रबी [ Belief in your trust is broken forever God, No longer do I hope, you will show any pity on me, The clouds of sadness are overhead since ages, Let it rain now, if you have the guts. ] ...
उसकी लहराती जुल्फें देखीं तो याद आया मुझे… लटें मेरी भी कभी लम्बी हुआ करती थीं ! ~रबी [ When I saw her hair flowing like a river, I remembered… I too used to have long silky hairs! ]
मुझसे फ़साद क्या है तू मुझे बता, मैं हूँ तेरा बिस्मिल अभी भी। अपनों को मेरे, तकलीफ़ दे मुझे सजा देना, ऐ ख़ुदा, तेरी ये अदा तारीफ़ -ए-काबिल नहीं। ~रबी [ Tell me what’s your problem with me, I am still your disciple, But to punish me by hurting my loved ones, Oh God, This style of yours isn’t praise-worthy. ]
