Today he loves me,

Tomorrow he fights, but still it takes me, to decide the right.

Today he argues, the next hour he laughs,

And I wonder how he changes so fast.

Like a module his temper is small,

But he would make sure, he remembers them all.

And sometimes, someday when I explode,

I don’t know how he has it all under control.

At eight he hugs me, at ten he stares,

At twelve he loves me, at three he glares.

And all I see when I look at him,

Is the time that changes along with him.

Dear lord.. Did you create him while eating a lime?

Why does his mind change with time?

He tickles me at five, he is angry at seven,

Do I know exactly what’s he angry for then?

I try real hard to change with him,

It’s not so easy; it’s like bending a pin.

Now this was the evening show, the night is left,

God get the time slow!

At eight in the night he’s calm alright,

At ten he’s alarmed and sometimes he cries.

I look at him and think to myself,

Should I talk to him? Or leave a note on the shelf?

And when I decide what could be right,

He wipes his tears and suddenly smiles.

Dear lord.. Did you create him while eating a lime?

Why does his mind change with time?

But even though his mind changes with time,

When I need him he is always my partner in crime.

I always knew it would be hard..

But this hard I had no clue!

I took you close for who you are..

And from my heart I say, it's true!

So much for me everyday, everytime,

No one else would do what  you've done!

And look at me, I underestimated 'the time'..

And thought that faster than time I can run!

There still was the stupid mind that wanted to be heard..

But I was too deaf, and look what I have done!

Now, of tears there is a dearth..

But to make me light, I want more of it to come!

Cause the lines you sing linger in my mind..

No matter when, where or what I have to be!

I've Been a fool, I've messed up with you..

I should have known there isn't a safe place for me!

There is no safe place for me..

There can't be a safe place for me...

And look at me,

I was trying to run faster than time!

Kya tera jee nahin chaahta kabhi rukkne ka kahin?

Kya tu iss musalsal naukri se thakta nahin?

Kabse chalta ja raha hai...

Zara thheher ja, pagal!

Main baithhi hoon ek dost ke saath.

Tu bhi baithh ja yahin.

Teri saans phool rahi hai,

Aankhein jhool rahi hain,

Lag raha hai badla sa,

Kitna dubla patla sa...

Aisa kaisa bikhra hai haal?

Zara apni sehat sambhaal!

Yeh le chai, ab tu farmaa aaram.

Logon se kar thodi duaa-salaam.

Kya kaha?

Duty kaun karega?

Tere badle kaun chalega?

Main chalti hoon naa!

Iss dost ke saath.

Haathon mein haath.

Yun hi chalte rahenge hum...

Tu rukk ja, waqt, yahin tham ja!

Humein yun hi chalne de, samjha?

You forgot your watch by my bed.

Reminds me of the night that fled,
Reminds me of the days that rest
Before you return to my nest...

It counts each second with its hand
Like my hourglass-heart of sand.
I look at it, I look ahead...
You forgot your watch by my bed.
