JUVENILE HEART

“DIL TO BACHHA HAI JI” – A HINDI SONG TRANSLATION

Entangled looks, can’t stay away from her

No bite how strong, can break a fine strand

The rains of youth have long withered

But their obscure clouds still shy to fade

The heart beats in a haze,

Radiance is flying to the sky

Heart says, 'it’s worse to be alone than to die'

Coz the heart is still juvenile

It’s still fresh with a smile

Who knew, while in the veil that it was a toy?

As I thought it was just another mendicant of joy

How much ever, I scream or push

Or in keenness think of every word

The heart is a cheat that deceives in the rush

Lest someone stops or throws to the wind

In such age now I shall face wiles

Coz the heart is still juvenile

And can give pain every while

Such pain has sat within that to smile is so tough

The age passed in loneliness, and in senescence, it did strike

Each beat says you are coming this way

And of love, shall the daggers sway

Such moments, why can’t they pass?

Why can't eyes, from you, keep off

In trepidation, I dare not say

Coz the heart is still juvenile

Waiting to see your smile not once but every while

In my journey's every step every mile
