Sword in pen

Maubarak ho..aapko beti hui hai Paida hote hi mujhe mila ek naam Insaan banne se pehle ladki hona Bana meri pehchaan Kehte toh hain sab azaad desh mein janmein ho Par har cheez ke liye bediyon mein bandhe hain mere sapne Banna chahti thi pariwaar ki shaan Par sabne mujhe sharam bana dia Mariyadaon ko mere sur ka kafan bana dia. Chotti logon ki soch thi Par naam mere kapdon ko laga dia Burkhe mein bhi betiyon ka jism jala dia Phir bhi, yeh sab hai meri hi galti Kyuki mai hoon ek ladki? Na..balwaan aur na budhimaan Khitaab dia toh sirf khoobsurati Joh hai ek khokhli murti. Mera saath dia toh sirf lafzon se Meri cheekhen suni toh sirf akhbaaron se Zyada hai toh laashon par ek aansu baha dia Par saath chalne ki baari aai Toh paer dard ka bahana bana dia Meri takleef ko bas ek khabar ka naam dia Betiyon ko ghar ki sharam bana dia.

A seed was sowed Watered daliy But the fruits that came Weren't what they may be You have to curse me For every single mistake by me You blame me for my failure I know..I didn't give you The gems that pleased you But I swear I tried With all my might.. I didn't top my exam Didn't win the awards That other kids bragged Didn't be on the zenith of Everest Just got stranded between the rocks of trouble But.. I swear I tried With all my might. I know..I couldn't be that perfect girl that you thought Me to be when I was born The picture was not the masterpiece of museum Instead decorated the walls of a lonely hut But..I swear I tried With all my might I tried my best To fullfil your dreams Even if it had cost my screams I couldn't swim that ocean Let me lie on shore I do love you to the core But now all this Has tore me Even if I had to cry I did try I swear I tried With all my might Don't call me a plight I swear I tried....

When my soul is empty inside Just because I want you by my side When I got tears dripping down my eyes That are washed away by rain from skies Beacuse my life is full of lies That were misinterpreted by me Yeah..in this crowd I am alone There is no one to feel a bone I am alone Troubled by the memories that are not mine Oh! Don't worry.. I am fine I don't want that sparkle or glow Just wanna walk on these roads slow There is nothing but..still I do feel something I was too terrified to let go of these tears That felt like holes on my soul Made by spears Yeah.. I don't have a home to return All I have to do is burn Wandering in the streets With my ears occupied by headphones Music is the friend I like to meet It is good for me to stay alone - Chanchal Bagla
