Die
What I am afraid of more than dying… is the thought of living long enough… to see you die… ~RavS ## Are you not afraid of living long enough to see your loved ones die? ##

I am afraid to close my eyes tonight. A monster is waiting for me to drown. I gasped for breath and saw your face, All I could utter is… “Mom!”. I don’t know if it’s pent up anxiousness, Or do I really feel so alone. But I’ll be keeping the door unlocked, Hoping that you will come. ~RavS ## Wrote it on an nightmare filled night. ##
अब तक इतना क्यों रुलाया तुमने, पहले क्यों नहीं आये ज़िन्दगी में। हाँ नहीं ढूँढ पाया मैं तुम्हें, पर मैं तो खड़ा था यहीं। तुम ही आ जाते मुझे लेने। हर वक़्त सोचता हूँ, और कैसे मैं हँसाऊं तुम्हें, गुज़रा वक़्त जो नहीं मिला, वो कैसे वापस लाऊँ फिर मैं , जानती हो ना, तुम्हारी हँसी से, मेरे कितने घाव भर जाते हैं, एक ले दो मेरा नाम, प्यार से, मेरे बहुत से दर्द मिट जाते हैं। फिर अब तक इतना क्यों तड़पाया तुमने, बोलो ना, पहले क्यों नहीं आये ज़िन्दगी में ? ...
I fear one day I won’t be left with anything to say or write or express. No jokes, no wits, no stories, no compliments, no confessions, NOTHING. There will be just silence left. A blank expression. I fear if you would get bored of me that day. And leave me to find someone who could still entertain you or be useful. I won’t be angry with you. How could I? It’s just that I would be infuriated with self, I couldn’t keep you longer than this. I thought you would stay forever. But forever is always too long to be true… ...
डर इस बात का नहीं कि हमें डर लगता है, डर है तो बस कि कहीं हम डरना ना छोड़ दें। डर लगता है अंदर जो सुलगती आग है, डर लगता है कहीं और ना भड़क उठे। खुद घुट कर मर जाएँ तो ज्यादा रंज नहीं, डर लगता है कहीं दुनिया को राख ना कर बैठें। ~रबी [ I don’t fear that I am afraid, I fear that I might stop being afraid. I fear the fire that’s smoldering inside, I fear it might get erupted. I won’t regret if I die choking of it, I fear I might end up burning the world with it. ] ...
Sometimes I don’t want to talk, Or you don’t want to hear me out, But I can’t abandon you just like that, So, I write what I would have said, In the hope that you will read, And understand, that behind this egoist, Is a fragile person who is afraid, That he may not get a chance to say, what was left unconveyed. ~RavS ## You can’t leave some people, no matter what they do to you. They are just your weakness, and they know it too :) ## ...
बेबाक बेफिक्र सी जब हया तू निकलती है, बेधड़क बेवजह ही दिल से आह सी निकलती है, बेकदर बेरुखी, पर इस दुनिया से क्या कहिये, बेरहम बेशरम, फिर भी ये मुझे ही कहती है। ~रबी [ Whenever you get out of home, shyness, My hearts skips a beat, it’s not fearless, But what can I say about this world, careless, It still considers me as the one, the shameless. ]
किसी ने मुझसे कहा था कभी , इस दिल में प्यार और डर दोनों एक साथ नहीं रह सकते। तो करते हैं प्यार तुमसे अब उतना ही , जितना पहले तुमसे डरा करते थे। ~रबी [ Somebody someday told me, Love and fear can’t co-exist in this heart, So now I love you to the same extent, The extent to which I used to fear you. ]
