Love

मेरे दिल में क्या छुपा है, मेरे मन में क्या बसा है, अगर वो जान जाता, मेरा ईमान पहचान पाता। जो तकलीफ है उसे मुझसे , जो फसाद है मुझे उससे, शायद मैं बता पाता, शायद वो खुद समझ जाता। ~रबी [ What’s hiding in my heart, why’s residing in my mind, If he would have found out, he would have known my honesty, The pain that I have from him, the quarrel that I have with him, May be I might have told, may be he himself might have understood. ] ...

Yeah just do one thing, take this dagger and pierce it right through the ribs into my lungs. Loving you is probably the simplest thing a man can ever get to do. And yet, at times, it feels so overwhelming, only death seems to be a better alternative. Why? ~RavS

Unconditional love is like distilled water. Perfect in concept but impractical in reality. And what use is that love unless it is adultered by a pinch of possessiveness, jealousy, expectations. insecurity, dread, anger, cravings… Let’s leave unconditional love for the Gods and the Immortal Fables. Let’s anticipate a little bit in love and let’s be disappointed when that doesn’t happen. What’s wrong in conditional love? What’s wrong? ~RavS ...

I thought you were an angel, But you turned out to be a fucking human just like everyone else, I thought I was your saviour, But now I realize you already had what you needed. I hope one day the world burns and you burn with it, I hope your skin gets roasted and I get to pour a little more gasoline, You know why you were able to hurt me, More than anybody else could possibly hurt? It’s because I cared about you more than anyone else, And more than anyone else ever could, It’s because I considered you one of my own. I thought the world was a bad bad place, which you needed to be saved from, Now I realize you are a part of it, You yourself have come out of this very heinous world’s womb. ...

Broken pieces of fallen glasses, Let me sweep you from the floor, And put the shreds in my pocket. Before someone else steps on them, And gets romantic about the hurt you cause. Oh love. ~RavS

चाहने वाले तो बहुत हैं यहां, ‘चाहने’ वाला कोई नहीं। तड़पता हूँ मैं तेरे लिए, कहे तो कोई, पर अफ़सोस, कहने वाला कोई नहीं। ~रबी [ A lot of people like me here, No one to love. I desire you so much, I wish someone says, But alas, there is no one to say. ]

क्या तुम हो सकते हो नज़रों से ओझल हमेशा हमेशा के लिए? क्या करूँ, जहां दिख जाते हो कमबख्त प्यार हो जाता है। ~रबी [ Can you get away from sight forever and ever? What shall I do, wherever I see you, I fall in love. ]
