Mehjabeen

Tell me the reality. I won’t hear pain

Life’s a gambling pit. A circus of loss and gain

Tell me the truth. I won’t hear loss

Anything one gets could’ve been missed by a toss

My perspective is whole now. While my heart is broken

I carry on with the words. They’re more than mere token

I know now how the world works. But then, I always knew

Because the world’s full of people. But men like me are few

But Mehjabeen, my Mehjabeen. My second chance, my Mehjabeen

My second chance. My only truth. Who cares till now where you had been

Mehjabeen, my Mehjabeen. In your eyes I have seen

All the things I want to be. All the things I could have been

My world burns. The ash scatters.

But the dance is on. That’s what matters

My thoughts burn. My heart stings

But my eyes are clear. My soul sings

Take my hand. As we walk in the sand

I’ll meet you in the skies. And on land

I’ll wait for you. In the sands of time

My tongue is tied. My heart’s a pantomime

And Mehjabeen, my Mehjabeen. My second chance, my Mehjabeen

My second chance. My only truth. Who cares till now where you had been

Mehjabeen, my Mehjabeen. In your eyes I have seen

All the things I want to be. All the things I could have been

All the things I still can be. All the things I want to be

All the words I still can say. All the worlds I want to see

All the times I want to live. All the days I want to dance

All the nights in your stories. Mehjabeen, I find another chance
