I'm drowning in the sorrow of My RKB's tears today. Only borrowed words for now...I can't deal.
"When you love someone, you put their needs before your own...no matter how much it made you feel like you were ripping yourself into pieces." - Jodi Picoult
"Some people feel like they don't deserve love. They walk quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past." - John Krakauer
"I guess that's just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up." - Lauren Oliver
I know these songs are heartbreaking, but then, My poor RKB is so heartbroken, and so am I...and when I get sad, I turn to Jagjit Singh...Pyaar Mujhse Kia Toh & Dil Tarasta Hai.
I loosely translated - Pyaar Mujhse, but I can't take on the task of translating the Urdu of the Dil Tarasta Hai for the beauty will be lost in translation. Apologies.
Ranj aur dard ki basti ka main bashinda hoon
(I dwell in the slums of grief and pain)
Ye to bas main hoon ke is haal mein bhi zinda hoon
(And yet, only I, am able to still be alive in this state)
Khwaab kyoun dekhoon, kal jispe main sharminda hoon
(Why should I build dreams on a past for which I am ashamed?)
Mai jo sharmindaa hua, tum bhi to sharmaaoge
(IMy shame will only cause you to be ashamed too)
Kyoun mere saath koi aur pareshaan rahe,
(Why should others stay with me and be subject to distress?)
Meri duniyaan hai jo viraan to viraan rahe
(If my life is to be lonely, than lonely it shall remain)
Jindaki ka ye safar tum pe to aasaan rahe
(But may this journey of life at least be easy on you)
Humsafar mujhko banaaoge toh pachtaaoge
(If you stay with me on this journey, you'll face only regret)
Pyaar mujhse jo kiya toh kya paaoge
(If you love me, what will you gain?)
Mere haalat ki aandhi mein bhkhar jaaoge.
(For the storm of my life, shall ruin you, too)

Loosely, the lines talk about having dreamed of happiness, or having a moment of happiness, only to have it all be taken away and replaced by pain and tears.
Ek khalish dil ki yeh, kya se kya kar gayi
Khushiyon ki aankh mein, baarishein bhar gayi
Log aapno se bhi bekhabar ho gaye
Khushbooyein chooni thi, shauk mein kho gaye
Ek khwahish mein thi saikro aandhiyaan
Pal mein bikhre sabhi rishto ke aashiyaan
Ek pal hi mila tha khushi ke liyeDil tarasta hai ab zindagi ke liye
Love.
