Prison of Glass

27-01-08
Prison of Glass (by Ahmad Babar):
Looking out through the walls
Of this prison of glass
Scratching my fingers at sand and stone
Hoping to one day walk on grass
Grass that I see everyday
So lush and green on the other side
My shoulder are sore from trying to break these walls
But still I am trapped inside
There is a puddle of my tears in the corner
Every drop had dried out my eyes
Through the roof I see birds hovering
I wish I could fly with them above the skies
I try to shade my face with my arm
To not let it be burnt more by the blazing sun
I go sit back in my corner
Trying not to become
Not to become one of them
Neither to become what I once was
For if I do become
I will lose even what I haven't lost

January

01/01/2008
January (by Ahmad Babar):
The summer has long past
I don't think I can last
Today I feel so insecure
My broken heart longs for more
My dried up eyes are longing for sleep
My empty hands want someone to keep
Someone to hold onto
Someone who is somehow like you
Your smell is still in this air
And your memories continue to prevail
The pain is increasing everyday
If only someone could heal it in your way
This January cold is penetrating my bones
My feet tread over the ruins of our home
The sun is hidden and even the snow isn't falling
With the cold breeze I can hear you calling
I am still here like I used to be
Will be waiting for you to come find me

If Only

16/10/2009
If Only (by Ahmad Babar):
If only it was a 2 hour show
It would be so easy to let go
If only she knew how I had felt
At the moment she left
If only she missed me too
We could start over anew
If only there was no 'if only'
I wouldn't be so lonely

If only I could bring her back
And make up for the things I lack
If only I knew how to mend
She may not need to pretend
If only she knew how to love
I could try to rise above
If only no one said 'if only'
No one would ever feel this lonely

If only there were no goodbye's
Then maybe we won't have to cry
If only she also cared
I wouldn't be this scared
If only she held my hand
Maybe this wouldn't have been our end
If only she didn't make me say 'if only'
I wouldn't be this lonely
If only...

Paris

12/09/2009
Paris (by Ahmad Babar):
I am sitting in Paris
My mind's going astray
I don't think I am lost
But still I can't find my way
I long to get back home
But its a long way away
From the top of the Eiffel Tower
I watch the world sway
Each one to his own music
Each one to her own beat
And I watch them fool eachother
From the best possible seat
There's something really funny about
All of this seriousness
They all pretend they are in paradise
While they are really in a mess
In the fashion capital of the world
In the most romantic city
There is not a single soul with a heart
What a pity
The wind starts to blow
The stars come out onto the sky
As the night draws in
I try to search for a butterfly
A friend once told me
About one up in the sky
Formed by the stars
One that fills you up with joy
As the lights below come on
I commence my descent
Step by step I return to the world
Where one and all pretend
I hope I won't get engulfed
Or let myself be swept away
There's way too much pain in Paris
To tempt me to stay
I set on my way home
On my longest journey
In hope to get back
In hope to rediscover 'me'

Jhoot

21/09/2009
Jhoot (by Ahmad Babar):
Kaho kay kabhi na jao gi
Aur agar gai tau laut aao gi
Kaho kay tum sirf meri he hau
Saath dau gi chahye jau bhi hau
Mujh say tum sach na khena kabhi
Houn mein bus kush yunhi

Jhoot ki ab aadat si hai
Sach say ik nafrat si hai
Mujh say jhoot tum hamesha bolna
Sach keh kar dil na mera torna
Kaho mujh say kay sab theek hai
Theek hai yahan sab theek hai

Karoun ga mein tera intezaar
Bus laut aao aik baar
Jau chaho gi karoun ga mein
Khud say bhi laroun ga mein
Jau kaho gi sunnun ga mein
Jhoot say he kush hau loun ga mein

Mujh say jhoot tum hamesha bolna
Sach keh kar dil na mera torna
Kaho mujh say kay sab theek hai
Theek hai yahan sab theek hai
Jhoot ki ab aadat si hai
Sach say ik nafrat si hai

Meri jaan ab bus jhoot he bolna
Meri jaan jhoot bolna

Another Chance

01/09/2009
Another Chance (by Ahmad Babar):
You are lovelier than a love song
More beautiful than a dream
And I just want you to know
I am better than what it seems
I may not be what you want
But for you I will always be there
Whenever you are looking for a friend
Or just for someone who cares
I will be there to wipe your tears
Everytime that you cry
And I will spend my whole life
Trying to answer each and everyone of your 'Why's'
I know I have had made mistakes
And have hurt you in the past
But give me a chance at redemption
And I promise your pain won't last
I will let go of my bad habbits
And I will try to be better
With you standing by my side
I will show the world what really matters
I won't ever be scared again
Of saying what's in my heart
Please give me another chance
To once again win your heart
You are lovelier than a love song
More beautiful than a dream
And I just want you to know
I am better than what it seems

Hope

11-02-2008
Hope (by Ahmad Babar):
She is waiting for someone to come wipe her tears
To help her overcome all of her fears
To show her the greener side
To help her sail above the tides
To show her a world better than this
To take away her insecurities with a simple kiss
To hold her hand when it matters most
To find a way out for her when she is lost
To be there to catch her whenever she falls
And then to help her rise above all
With a simple smile to light up the dark nights
To fill her life with stars and light
To help her rise when she is down
To keep her flying above the ground
The one to make her dreams come true
The one who always says "I Love You"
But she knows all of her searches are in vain
And she is destined to suffer this pain
She looks around once again
Wondering if she really is insane
Or are the ones that have kept her here?
Far away from everywhere
She looks out of her "Roxn-e-Dewaar"*
And feels grateful that she isn't what they are
Maybe one day she will be free
Till then she says "I am and I shall always be me"
*Opening in the wall of a prison cell

Too Early

28/04/2009
Too early (by Ahmad Babar):
Its too early for love
Hell, its too early to even confess
I don't want to rush this time around
And risk losing everything else
Lets just start by being friends
And then maybe we can take it from there on
Till that time lets not play around
Cause love is more than just a love song
I know that its not easy
But I am not ready yet
My heart's still sore
And I can't place another bet
But I promise I will always be there
Everytime that you need a friend
And when you are down and low
I will be there to hold your hand
And I will try to play
The broken strings on my guitar
And if it doesn't work out
I will walk away with the scars
But I won't ever try and hurt you
That just isn't how I am
I might be a fool
But I know how to be the man
So understand me and forgive me
If I ever cause you pain
Let me know when it starts to hurt
And I won't ever do that again
And I will try to play
The broken strings on my guitar
And if it doesn't work out
I will walk away with the scars

Mother

29/01/09
Mother (by Ahmad Babar):
Mother, don't cry tonight
Just pray and everything will be alright
Don't you miss me if I ever go
Even if I am not here I won't ever let go

I just want to be the perfect child
Who wept your tears whenever you cried
Oh mother I love you from the bottom of my heart
Don't you worry for forever my love will last

Oh mother! Oh mother! Oh my sweet mother

Mother, don't cry tonight
Just pray and everything will be alright
Don't you miss me if I ever go
Even if I am not here I won't ever let go

I am sorry for all the times that I hurt you
I would be nothing! And I am nothing without you
I promise to never leave you alone
My love for you will never be gone


Oh mother! Oh mother! Oh my sweet mother

Mother, don't cry tonight
Just pray and everything will be alright
Don't you miss me if I ever go
Even if I am not here I won't ever let go

No words can ever say what I feel
At your feet I kneel
You have always been my star
And I will love you whether we are near or far

Oh mother! Oh mother! Oh my sweet mother

Mother, don't cry tonight
Just pray and everything will be alright
Don't you miss me if I ever go
Even if I am not here I won't ever let go

Falling in love...

24/01/09
Falling in love (by Ahmad Babar):
Falling in love, falling out of love in these grounds
Still I can hear echos of past sounds
The sun still shines bright each day
Its amazing how people still remember my ways

I wonder how the stars still shine each night
No matter how dark my life gets they are still bright
Maybe from them I should learn a thing or two
Then maybe, just maybe I can get back to you
Falling in love, falling out of love in these grounds
Still I can hear echos of past sounds
The sun still shines bright each day
Its amazing how people still remember my ways

My girl is somewhere out there and I wait
I hope I meet her soon, before its too late
I want to be with her yet again
Maybe that will ease my heart's pain
Falling in love, falling out of love in these grounds
Still I can hear echos of past sounds
The sun still shines bright each day
Its amazing how people still remember my ways
