Why do you cry?



When clouds of pain loom in the sky

When a shadow of sadness flickers by

When a tear finds its way to the eye

When fear keeps loneliness alive

I try to console my heart 

Why is it that you cry? I ask

This is only what life imparts

These deep silences within

have been handed out by time 

Everyone's story has a little sorrow 

Everyone's share has a little sunshine

No need for tears in your eyes

Every moment can be a new life 

Why do you let them pass by?

Oh heart , Why is it that you cry?

- Javid Aktar 
(translated from the film Zindagi na milega Dobhara)
