I lost me
Somewhere between silent tears and fake smiles
Between “I’m fine” and aching miles
Between holding on and letting go
I buried myself in what you’ll never know

I lost me
In dreams I crafted but couldn't achieve
In people I loved who chose to leave
In promises broken, in words unsaid
In the echo of hope that quietly fled

I lost me
While being strong when I was weak
While hiding pain I couldn’t speak
While being the sun in someone’s night
I forgot I too deserved the light

I lost me
To fears I fed and lies I wore
To battles fought behind closed doors
To the mirror that stopped reflecting me
And showed a stranger, silently

I lost me
But maybe, just maybe
One day in sujood, in a tearful plea
In the noor of truth, I’ll find me
The real me who was meant to be

Qatil *** main khud jazbaat ka meray,  
Har din karta *** qatl apni baat ka meray.  

Jo dil ke kone mein chhupa dukh tha,  
Aaj ban gaya hai shor hayaat ka meray.  

Meri har khushi ko main khud mitata raha,  
Qareeb na aaya koi bhi saath ka meray.  

Mohabbat ka diya khud hi bujhaya maine,  
Kya gila karun ab kisi firaaq ka meray?  

Har dafa main khud hi chor ban jata ***,  
Shikayat kaisi ** kisi ilzaam ka meray?  

Qatil *** main khud jazbaat ka meray,  
Har din karta *** qatl apni baat ka meray.
