The verses are in English and Urdu. Saw you on an eventide A serendipitous sight And I loved you Before I met you You, I wish to embrace It's not the time and place And it can't be I'm sorry It's like we've talked a thousand times And made love with our eyes But tonight is not the night I'm with somebody else and I can't lie With me and you, it's never good bye Save this Romance for another life Guilty in my mind Because I can't close my eyes My spirit Can hear it So let the serenade play The choices I can't make To feel you Conceal you It's like we've walked a thousand miles To make love with our eyes Magar aaj raat nahi hai humari raath Mai guzaar raha hu iss ko kisi or ke saath Kabhi alvida nahi ho tha humaray darmiyaan Save this Roma...

Meri Jaan Only in a dream I ever thought you'd find me Meri Jaan Fell into a kiss and left the world behind me Easy to believe a poet's lies But what if the truth's in my eyes? And you can see it, so there's a reason to stay Although they say Never trust a poet's word But what if he's in love? Never ever trust a poet's word Every fantasy of yours I serve Meri Jaan Never was a touch enough to just persuade me Meri Jaan Now that I can feel my heart my thoughts evade me Easy to believe a poet's lies But what is there's too much beauty in her eyes? And I can see it, so there's a reason to stay Although they say Never trust a poet's word But what if he's in love? Never ever trust a poet's word Every verse of min...

You are the tenderness that falls into my arms By the Grace of God You are the guardian angel that keeps me away from harm By the Grace of God You are my one and only faith By the Grace of God You are what characterizes fate By the Grace of God Found you, gained everything That was the only moment I had no regret Let me drown in you and become undone So that I can never forget You are my only testament By the Grace of God You are what encircles my enlightenment By the Grace of God I have marooned from my past existence So that together our hearts can melt Found you, lost nothing That was the only second I wish to spend again You are my sanity and my insanity By the Grace of God You are the reality of my dreams By the Grace of God My calling to the prayer The one to depend upon My falling to the heart-slayer The shoulder I lean upon You are my last words By the Face of Dove You are my final breath By the Taste of Love...

Rushed past me Like the wind from Heaven Brushed past me Like the flame of temptation Hushed past me Whispering the seven deadly sins all forgiven You found me and I witnessed Heaven on Earth You bound me In a fortress conceived for lovers You astound me In ways never written Stealing me away from life Staying with me till the daylight Showing me a life away from life You led the pathway to the light Do not weep just keep Me here for an eternity I will make you feel complete Cannot be without you even for a momentary release Now we are together Eyes sunk into eyes Becoming one with each other The truth is there are no lies Hiding me from every sadness Enslaving me in madness Showing me a life away from life Rushed past me Like the wind from Heaven Brushed past me Like the flame of temptation Blushed past me Like the cherry blossom I found you And reached the height of fulfillment I gained you And lost all material unfulfillment  I lost yo...

Note: An alternative version of Careless Whisper by George Michael. I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the white board As the fiction dies Reality in your eyes Calls to mind a sheet of paper And all its sad rhymes I'm never gonna write again Guilty hands have got no literature Though it's easy to have your verses misread I know you know they are true I should have known better than to cheat a girlfriend And waste a title that I'd been given So I'm never gonna write again The way I wrote for you Prose can never mend The Shameless Writings of a poor boyfriend To the heart and mind Poetry is kind There's no beauty in the truth Ugliness is what you'll find Tonight the poem was read aloud I wish that we could lose this renown Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things the words will say We could have been so good together This night could've been written in heaven But now who's gon...
