For those who look up at the skies with searching eyes;
look all around us, our heaven is here, our hell is here
They are all liars, holy ones with their beseeching cries;
they do not seek your salvation, they simply do not care

Dawn is just failed colors when love is dead;
stink of hope’s rotten corpse hangs in the air
Pregnant clouds whisper, bellies full of dread;
life is a battle of egos, neither justified nor fair

Some said they came down from the grey hills;
others called them children of the silent lake
A pair of kind smiling eyes and no other skills;
their warmth was genuine and not at all fake

I have heard that there is peace down below;
silence is a tranquil lake and no dark murmurs
I have heard there is no ego there, high or low;
life is no more a battle, no losers no learners

Well, I lived with a child of snow

نیّت شوق بھر نا جائے کہیں
تو بھی دل سے اتر نا جائے کہیں

So many things are lost, almost each day;
a child may lose a toy or an adult, his heart
We may misplace ourselves, if we go astray;
if our choices in love, are not very smart

Cursed are the ones who feed onto love;

Neither all light comes from the God;
nor all darkness belongs to the Devil
Neither every sin is the morality flawed;
nor every high virtue denies the revel

What we gain and what we lose;
time teaches and leaves a bruise
The bruise aches with new wisdom;
it was a blessing, the lost kingdom
