“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn’t already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.”

Could be worse.
Ab to ummeed hi nahi hai usko ru-ba-ru dekhne ki,
Bas ek khwab mein mulaqat ho jaye, to zarurat nahi rahegi marne ki
Tumhein jab ru-ba-ru dekha karenge, ye socha hai bohot socha karenge.
Whenever I’ll get to see you face to face, I think I will think a lot.

When I was young and my heart was an open book,
I used to say live and let live
But when this ever changing world
Makes you give in and cry

Wo mujhse alag hokar khush hai toh fir shikayat kesi
Ab mein usey khush bhi na dekhu, toh fir muhabbat kesi..
My head is a hive of words that won't settle.

Same. But it's "bhaunk bhen***".
when someone says sun yrr im either "farmayein" or "bhaunk be " nothing in between
Ajab apna haal hota jo visal-e-yaar hota
kabhi jaan sadqe hoti kabhi dil nisar hota
Strange my state would have been, if my beloved had come to see me,
Sometimes I would surrender my heart, sometimes my soul to her

-What are you?-To define is to limit. They call me voltage. Because I've got a lot of potential, but I'm mostly negative.
