Shadow of Past

[Intro] Haan… saaye sirf dushman ke nahi hote, Kabhi kabhi apne hi chehre le kar aate hain. Aur main… main unse ladta raha, bina samjhe. [Verse] Main ne kiye ghaltiyan, apne hi saathiyon se lad gaya, Jo mere liye khade the, unko main samajh na paaya. Woh keh rahe the “ruk ja,” main keh raha tha “main sahi,” Ab waqt ke baad samjha, saara sach tha unki nigaah mein wahi. Har jaga gaya, naye chehre mile, naye raaste, Kuch ne gale lagaya, kuch bas waqt ka khel the. Jo sach mein saath the, woh kam nikle, Baaki bas chai, hasna, aur waqt barbaad karne wale nikle. [Chorus] Shadows of the past, they keep pulling me back, Main bhaagta hoon roshni ki taraf, par saaye hai mere saath. Every step I take, they still whisper my name, Kehte hain, “Bhool ja,” par dil kheenchta hai same frame. [Verse] Main ne zidd mein sheeshe tode, rishton ke bhi, khud ke bhi, Woh log jo sach bol rahe the, main samjha nahi kabhi. Ab yaadein chubhti hain, jaise bekaar ke shabd, Waqt badal gaya, par unka pyar ab bhi hai sabse zyada sadq. Maine dekha dosti ka asli rang, jab maine kuch nahi diya, Aur woh phir bhi khade the, chupchaap, kuch nahi liya. Par dusre bas saath the jab tak unke din the ache, Kal palat gaye, jaise main kabhi tha hi nahi unke kachhe kisse. [Verse] Kabhi kabhi sochta hoon, kaash wapas jaa paata, Woh lafz jo chubh gaye, unko main mita paata. Jo dil tod diye, unke liye ek mauka aur maangta, Par waqt ne seekh di, har pal ka hisaab saath laata. Galtiyon ka bojh le kar bhi chalna seekh liya, Jo saaye the pehle, unmein roshni dekh liya. Aaj bhi yaad hai, kisne kab haath chhoda, Aur kisne chupchap meri peeth par haath rakha, jab sab chhoda. [Chorus] Shadows of the past, they keep pulling me back, Main bhaagta hoon roshni ki taraf, par saaye hai mere saath. Every step I take, they still whisper my name, Kehte hain, “Bhool ja,” par dil kheenchta hai same frame. [Outro] Ab main jaanta hoon, har ladayi jeetna zaroori nahi hota, Kuch haare hue pal bhi jeet ka saboot hota. Shayad woh theek the, shayad main galat, Par aaj main chal raha hoon unhi raaston par, jahan unki dua ka saath.
