सब देख लिया (sab dekh liya)

तू चाहे तो हमें चाह के देख, के आज़मा के तो देख लिया
तसल्ली दे या दे दे रुख्सत अब, भर एक अर्सा तो देख लिया

घुटनों पे चढ़ती गांठें है, और सज्दे के शिकन पेह्शानी पे
जज़ा दे या दे दे रज़ा अब, सुनं के हर दुवा तो देख लिया

सिलाई के सिरे रेशा रेशा छट्टे है, कपडा रफू को रोता है
शर्म दे या दे दे चादर अब, कर के रुस्वा तो देख लिया

नाक की सीध में चलते है, गुलाम लगाम के बनते है
मंज़िल दे या दे दे बेफिक्री अब, कर के गुमराह तो देख लिया

फिका पड़ता रंग इन् दीवारों का, मेरी बिदाई का शौक़ करता है
दे लाली या दे दे रंग सफ़ेद, के कालिक पुत्वा तो देख लिया

Selfish

Why do you ask me to be honest to you
To be faithful, to be correct or to be true

Why do you ask me to give into submission
And not question cause you haven't got a clue

Why should I not talk ill about you
When I think what you did is wrong

Why should I be kind and greatful
And not dedicate myself a song

Since when did it become a sin to be a little me
And to hate someone who just doesn't let me be

I too love the colors so, I too like sweet fruits
Like everyone else over here, I too like to mix truths

Yes I am not a reflection of you, I was born alone
So I can as well massage my ego, let my pride be shone

Why to surrender what I want, cause your wants are greater
Why to be your help, your slave, your keep and your goddamn waiter

What is it that makes me, so trivial to this world
And yet makes it epitome, that my spine be curled

I realize the answer's nothing, my guilt is my only handcuff
And I realize my guilt is not mine, it was fed to me, its a bluff
