Anam Rizvi

I'm growing up and i don't like it.
I fear ill lose my innocent bit.

The world's a place,
...

You steal the smile from my lips,
When a single tear dropp comes to your eyes.
You make me want to give up,
The whole world to only make you smile.
...

There's a rhythm on the roads of Bombay.
A foot-tapping beat as you stroll down the streets.
Bombay lovers know it.
...

If you feel afraid, take a look around,
See the faces whom you surround.

If you think you're the chosen one,
...

When the doors shut on you,
When no hand gropes out for you.

When the joys of this world seem to ebb,
...

Har din Zindagi ke baazar mein,
Naye chehre mil jate hain,
Hum bekhabar rehte aur,
Wo itne paas aa jate hain.
...

I want to run away,
Far from this hurt and pain,
Far from ridicules and hurtful words,
Far far from the stares and this unbridled world.
...

Kahin khayalon ke kisi kone me aapki ek jhalak si mil jati hai,
Is aarzoo ko ek dhundhla sa ishara hi kafi hai.
Sach kya aur khwab kya,
Inke fasle aur dooriyan kya.
...

Aap to lafzon mein dil ki baat ka izhar kar lete hain,
Par maine to is dil ko yeh haq bhi na diya.

Bas akele main kabhi,
...

Yadon aur khwabon mein, kab tak tak Zindagi bitaenge?
Jab beet jayegi ye, tab kya baithe ansu bahayenge?

Aaj waqt hai.
...

It's a slow and ponderous process,
The breaking of the human heart.

It doesn't happen in a matter of moments;
...

Flesh. Blood. Bone.
Raw. Cold. Bare.

Devoid of feeling,
...

I can live this life without you.
I can walk this road alone.
I don't need you here to hold me.
I don't need your warm comfort.
...

To lose myself in this pain,
Only to gain you.
To surrender all arms, all forces,
To be one with you.
...

I’m feeling gray.
I wish it were so easy.
So easy to divide, calculate, nostalgically recreate people into little slaughter boxes of black and blue and white.
Good and Evil and diabolical, true and hypocrite and the scum of the Earth.
...

I’ll Hunt you down with an axe and some tears,
Hold you and ravish your soul to my delight.
When you elude me, I will tear and rip the world apart,
Such is my love for you.
...

Till the second last second,
The clock ticks right.

On and on,
...

I stood there silently watching them pray.
Tears would not stop.They kept flowing away,
All here equated in wealth and power,
To ask of their lord, their merciful God.
...

Why bother to grow up at all?
...

'You're quiet.Don't like speakin?
You aint gonna survive out there for long mate.
You've got to have power.
You've got to scream your lungs out.
...
