Kya Karu / Waqt

Kya karu,

Yeh waqt hi kuch aisa hai,

Kuch na kahu toh,

Kya pata kal kaisa hai?

Kuch kahu toh,

Kisse pata dard kitna gehra hai.

Toh aaj na kehne ke darr se mai,

Tujhe khone ke darr tak,

Bahut kuch kehne ke darr se mai,

Kuch na khene ki khamoshi tak,

Jeeti gayi,

Woh saare pal,

Kya karu,

Yeh waqt hi kuch aisa hai.

Translating the poem in a few words:

These times are so tough that it is sometimes so difficult to talk. What if I don’t say something and I never get to say it again. What if I say the wrong thing for I don’t know how much pain they’re in.

What I know is I’m stuck in between the feeling of fear of not saying anything and losing.

I’m stuck in between the fear of saying too much and in the silence of saying too less.

What to do in such times?
