My heart flows like a restless river,
Drifting, it finds itself lost in you.
Silently settling into every corner I pass,
In my heart, I build walls of quiet distance,
Yet I struggle to find a way to calm the unrest within.

I know you don't owe me a thing,
I cannot ask for explanations or attention,
Nor can I weave my dreams into your path,
I hold no claim to you.

Waiting seems inevitable,
But this heart was never meant to wait.

This heart, as it drowns, has never learned how to swim,
I desire you, it's only you I need,
Even though I am a stranger still to you now,
With one glance, you were a unknown yet my heart has only ever known you.

Deewani hoon, phir se chali aati hoon,
Matak matak ke har kone mein basi jaati hoon,
Dil mein khamoshi se doori ki deewar khadi karti hoon,
Samajh na aaye bechaini ko kaise mitaun.

Jaanti hoon haq mera tere pe hai nahi,
Maan se maang na sakti safai,
Khwaab saja nahi sakti teri raahon mein.

Intezaar toh likha hai,
Magar yeh dil intezaar ke liye nahi bana.

Doobta doobta tarrna jaanta nahi yeh dil,
Chahi tujhe toh bas tu hi chahiye,
Chahe abhi tere liye main ajnabi hi sahi,
Ek nazar mein tu mere dil ka mehram ban gaya.
