Jarurat

Perhaps someone might find my face pleasing

If only they could see the artistry within this face

I shall wait until my final breaths

I have not become helpless or weak

I have remained merely a necessity

I never became anyone's true love

I have remained merely a necessity

I never became anyone's true love

This world of selfish opportunists

I have observed from every possible angle

By preying on the innocent at every turn

The cunning have maintained their greedy grip

Many hands reached out, but only to grab my throat

No one ever became a necklace to grace my neck

I have remained merely a necessity

I never became anyone's true love

I have remained merely a necessity

I never became anyone's true love

I encountered many eyes that

Kept striking me with side-long, piercing glances

They did everything a bitter enemy would do

While pretending to be a `[Yaar: close friend/brother; carries significant cultural weight regarding loyalty]`

O God, why wasn't this entire world

Created with a single, honest heart?

I have remained merely a necessity

I never became anyone's true love

I have remained merely a necessity

I never became anyone's true love

After wounding so many of my inner-most desires

And trampling over my heartfelt aspirations

I, `[Kuldeep: Self-reference to the song's lyricist/artist]`, the crown of light `[Sartaj]`

Have dedicated my lonely evenings to the beloved

Yet many still point fingers and accuse me

Claiming that I never became a faithful soul

I have remained merely a necessity

I never became anyone's true love

I have remained merely a necessity

I never became anyone's true love
