“Bechain Raaton Ka Chehra” / “The Face That Won’t Let Me Rest” – Part 2

“Kuch yaadein waqt ke saath mit’ti nahi…
woh aur gehri ho jaati hain, aur phir khamoshi se tumhari zindagi ka hissa ban jaati hain.”

“Some memories don’t fade with time…
they settle deeper, becoming a silent part of who you are.”

– Zulfikar Inamdar

“Bechain Raaton Ka Chehra – Part 2”

Arz kiya hai ke…

Ab to neend bhi meri aadat se khafa si rehti hai,
Jaise usey bhi pata ho ke tu hi wajah si rehti hai…

Har raat tere khayalon ka ek silsila sa chalta hai,
Aur subah tak meri rooh thaki si rehti hai…

Main chahta hoon ke tod doon is yaadon ke qaid ko,
Par har koshish bas adhoori dua si rehti hai…

Teri baaton ki goonj ab bhi mere andar zinda hai,
Jaise khamoshi mein bhi koi sada si rehti hai…

Waqt guzarta gaya, par dard wahi ka wahi hai,
Meri zindagi bas ek rukhi hui ghadi si rehti hai…

Kabhi socha tha ke bhool jaunga tujhe ek din,
Par har din teri yaad aur gehri si rehti hai…

Maine khud ko samjhaya hazaar dafa, magar,
Dil ki zid har dafa wahi pe atki si rehti hai…

Ab to aansuon se bhi rishta ajeeb sa ho gaya,
Na woh behte hain, na aankh kabhi sukhhi si rehti hai…

Tu nahi hai phir bhi har jagah mehsoos hota hai,
Jaise har saans mein teri kami basi si rehti hai…

Yeh ishq ab dua bhi hai aur saza bhi lagta hai,
Jeene ki wajah bhi… aur jeene ki kami si rehti hai…

English Version:

“The Face That Won’t Let Me Rest – Part 2”

A request is…

Now even sleep seems distant from me,
As if it knows… you are the reason it stays away.

Every night turns into a chain of your thoughts,
Leaving my soul exhausted by the time morning arrives.

I try to break free from this prison of memories,
But every attempt feels like an incomplete prayer.

Your voice still echoes somewhere within me,
Like a sound that lives even inside silence.

Time has moved on… but the pain hasn’t,
My life feels like a clock that simply stopped.

I once believed I’d forget you someday,
But each day… your memory grows stronger.

I’ve tried to convince myself a thousand times,
Yet my heart refuses to move on.

Even tears have become strange companions,
They neither fall… nor leave my eyes dry.

You are gone… yet everywhere I breathe, I feel you,
Like your absence itself lives inside me.

This love now feels like both a prayer and a punishment,
A reason to live… and a reason I cannot fully live.
