And we have seen enough art museums to know, they are missing you.

Jachte hai ye nakhre tum par,

Gussa bhi khil uthta hai.

Kis baat ki shikayat kare chand sooraj se,

Jab wo usse jalta, usse bhujta hai.

Getting the moon and stars down for you seems too unreal. Allow me to paint you with words.

~ arshiyan

I once saw my father cry during prayer,

I wondered what he cried for.

I got a job and I saw him cry again,

I wondered is that what he prayed for?

And you own the sun, my love,

The moon doesn’t shine without you.

The stars dim in your mystic light,

The whole universe bows to you.

Maine bahot kuch manga to nahi tha,

Aakhein nam aasu se, labon pe naam uska.

Sirf ek deedar mehboob ka,

Ya khuda! Tere hadd ke bahar to nahi tha.

~ arshiyan

I covered you in my arms,

Thinking I would save you from the world.

I forgot the horrors of the world in me,

The scars I would give you in love unknowingly.

Jhooth kehte hai fakir -

Farishte, parinde, nahi ab iss duniya mein.

Lekin ye bhi sach hai,

Aap yahan ki lagti bhi nahi humein.

‘arshiyan’ ban musafir, kare na rukh ab ghar ka,

logon se zyada ye raaste apne hai use.

~ arshiyan

[yoursarshiyan]

Dekh liya ‘arshiyan’ mein mehboob apna,

Khot hai nigah mein aapki, ya khuda hai. 

~ arshiyan

[yoursarshiyan]

Maybe we are so far from each other,

We may never see each other again.

God! I wish a glimpse of yours so bad.

I can’t wait, for the seven minutes after my death.

~ arshiyan

[yoursarshiyan]

When the butterflies leave,

And we know too much of each other.

I promise to be the same,

In all the good, bad, and mundane.

I promise to be yours,

All ears and eyes.

I ask, don't force,

If you feel the same.

If you wish still, to call me yours,

Cause I pray still to call you mine.

~ arshiyan

[yoursarshiyan]

There are days I believe I will see you again,

There are days I know it’s all a lie.

There are days I think I should move on,

Fall in love again.

But for that there has to be a day,

When I will forget your face, your voice, your eyes, your smile.

~ arshiyan

[yoursarshiyan]

Words have gotten around,

They and I are not together anymore.

Let this be about them.

I pray that before my heart has the name of someone else’s,

God makes it stop.

~ arshiyan

[yoursarshiyan]

What is your religion?

Which faith do you follow?

Who is your master? O sinner!

Who shall punish you?

~ arshiyan

[yoursarshiyan]

Na kar mujhko alvida, 

Main chod ke jaane waalon mein se nahi. 

Na bol mujhko shukriya, 

Ki tere liye krna kuch khaas, ye aakhri baar nahi. 

~ arshiyan

[yoursarshiyan]

I love you on your good days,

I care and pray for you in your bad.

I breathe in your living existence,

Wishing for the time to stop.

Hold on to you maybe, for as long as I can.

Long enough, to never say goodbye.
