Khvaab [Hindi] - Dreams

I fall on the bed and close my eyes,
Constellations of ideas etching my mind.
I fall into a magical world
Of happiness only I can find.

Any exhaustion, worry and sadness,
Washes away when I am there.
Only ecstasy, joy and contentment,
Are the feelings that I wear.

In this world, nothing makes sense
But at the same time everything does.
I can make myself a bird
or the prettiest person there ever was.

In this consciousness, I can make
My dreams come true without trying.
Without even walking,
Moving my fingers or relying.

But this is not always the case,
Not all my dreams make me laugh.
Some engrave fear so high in me
That it breaks me in half and half.

Still I yearn to go back to it,
Still I want to fall asleep.
Because I feel like it's the only
Time when I can leave.

I can leave this world full of misery,
Selfishness and hurt.
I can leave this world which I
Completely want to shut.

Because even though
The nights might get scary and bad,
I know that the the real world is worse
And breaks me into thousand shards.

So I escape and I dream
Running away from this hell-hole,
Which makes my heart break and
Terribly burns my soul.
