ishq mujh ko nahin, vahshat hi sahi
meri vahshat, teri shohrat hi sahi
qata kije nah taluq ham se
kuchh nahin hai to adavat hi sahi
ham bhi dushman to nahin hain apne
ghair ko tujh se muhabbat hi sahi
umr har chand kih hai barq khiram
dil kih khun karne ki fursat hi sahi
ham koi tark-e-vafa karte hain
nah sahi ishq, musibat hi sahi
ham bhi taslim ke khu dalen ge
be niyazi teri adat hi sahi
yar se chher chali jae Asad
gar nahin vasl to hasrat hi sahi

So I love you not? Let it be solitude.
My solitariness bringing you fame, so let it be.
Break-off not the connection with me;
If nothing else, enmity, let it be.
I, too, am not my own enemy;
The rival may love you, so let it be.
No doubt, that life is like the swift lighting;
Enough time to bleed my heart, let it be.
Do I ever give up being faithful to you?
If it is not love, then any calamity, let it be.
We, too, will cultivate a habit of submissive resignation;
Obliviousness may well be your style.
Teasing should continue with the beloved, Asad;
If it is not union, then insistence on it, let it be.
-- Mirza Asadullah Khan 'Ghalib' [translated by Sarfaraz K. Niazi]

No I don't wanna fall in love -- Wicked Game
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you
What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
And I don't want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you
Nobody loves no one
