Away, I sail far away from you
To a world free from your memories.
To a land of discovery, of excitement
To an ocean of infinite opportunities.

Away, I move far away from myself
To freedom from my own ideas, thoughts.
To a river, moving furiously forth ahead.
To a dream, where everything is new.

Away, I am swept away from life.
From everything I ever knew existed.
From everything I believed was true.
And from the person you made me be.

Can't live with, can't live without

With you, my wings are clipped.
My head hung with humility, shame.
My feet heavy with broken promises,
My mind lost, in pursuit of freedom.

Without you, my body is without soul.
Everything is without joy; is colourless.
The days are longer, nights lonelier.
As if the world has come to a halt.

And here I am, stuck between the two.
Not knowing where to go, what to do.
But the one thing I keep is the love
It enlivens me, with or without you.

पुकार

आज िदल िफर घबरा उठा
खोजने लगा वही चेहरे
जो एक याद बन चुके थे
जो िज़दगी छोड़ चुके थे ।

सब छोड़ के लौटना तो चाहा
लेिकन िफर याद आया िक
बहुत आगे आ चुके है हम
उनसे दूर जा चुके है हम ।

आज न है वह शीतल स्पर्श
न रही वह मीठी टकरार।
रह गई बस यादें कई
और यह नम आँखे ।

The Quiet River

On this quiet riverside I sit; wishing
That my life was different; hoping
That there was someone to save me
To give me warmth on a cold night.

As the river moves on a path well known,
I yearn for someone to hold my hand.
Someone to save me from the biting cold
Someone to touch me, and save my soul.

Someone to fight for me, cry for me
Laugh with me, get pointlessly angry at me.
Someone for whom I could leave the world
Someone who would make me forget.

My heart bleeds, the cuts are deep.
But perhaps this punishment is just.
Perhaps it's the best - for you and me
Perhaps ... Perhaps I still love you.
