The Mosaic

Who am I? I wonder...
Shattered glass, millons of pieces
I try to find myself
Lost in the oblivion

Each piece, a colour...
A colour of deceit,
A facade of hypocrisy,
A mask put on

Who am I? I wonder...
I look at the broken pieces
Shards of illusion and pain
A life, A soul...where is it gone?

Who am I? I wonder...
A life of pretension
A pedestal of lies
I escape from it all

I pick up the pieces
and put them together
I see a picture
And its me I see.

The vision of my life.
There's still time,
But I can never change
I'm one of a kind.

Oh i see...

Here's it translated in hindi for u:

Main kaun hoon? main vicharta
kaanch ke toote tukde,laakhon tukde
main khud ko dhoondne ki koshish karta
is vismrann mein khoya

Har tukda, ek rang
kapat aur dhoke ka rang
banavat ka dikhaava
ek banaavati chehra

Main kaun hoon? main vicharta
main tukdo ko dekhta
dard aur dhoke ke sikke
mera jeevan, meri aatma...kidhar gaye?

Main kaun hoon? main vicharta
jhoote daavo ki yeh zindagi
jhoot ka rangmanch
main in sab se door bhaagta

main unn tukdo ko uthaata
aur unko saath mein jodta
ek tasveer dikhaie deti hai
woh meri his tasveer hai

mere zindagi ki drishti
ab bhi waqt hai
kintu main kabhi nahin badal sakta
main laakho mein ek hu


Apologies for grammatical mistakes and inclusion of a few urdu words too.
Well i know my hindi sucks n all...but was bored...dont think its come out that bad.
