Ishq Se Nafrat (I Hate Love)

Intro

(Heavy, distorted electric guitar riff with a slow, thumping drum beat)

Verse

Chehre pe hansi, dil mein zehar hai

(A smile on the face, but poison in the heart)

Mohabbat ki raahon mein, bas ab kehar hai

(On the paths of love, there’s only destruction now)

Waade thhe kaanch ke, toot kar bikhar gaye

(The promises were made of glass; they broke and scattered)

Hum thhe deewane, jo hadd se guzar gaye

(I was the crazy one who crossed all limits)

Pre-chorus

Har mod pe dhokha, har baat mein jhoot

(Betrayal at every turn, a lie in every word)

Ab iss dil ko chahiye, bas thodi si chhoot

(Now this heart just needs a little bit of freedom)

Chorus

I hate love, mujhe ishq se nafrat hai

(I hate love, I have a hatred for romance)

Jhoothi ye duniyadari, jhoothi ye fitrat hai

(This worldly pretense is fake, this nature is fake)

I hate love, ab koi khwaab nahi palna

(I hate love, no more dreams to nurture now)

Aag ka dariya hai, aur mujhe nahi jalna

(It’s a river of fire, and I don’t want to burn)

Verse

Kehte thhe log, ishq hi ibadat hai

(People used to say love is worship)

Par ye toh bas, mitaane ki aadat hai

(But it’s actually just a habit of destroying)

Na hosh hai, na koi ab thikaana hai

(Neither sense remains, nor any destination)

Dil ko thha thoda, ab ise pathar banana hai

(The heart was soft; now I have to turn it to stone)

Bridge

Khamoshi behtar hai, inn fizool ki baaton se

(Silence is better than these useless conversations)

Andhera hi achha hai, jhoothi inn raaton se

(Darkness is better than these deceitful nights)

Outro

I hate love... I hate love...

(Slowly fading with a heavy bass line)

Bas pyaar ka naam na lena...

(Just don’t take the name of love...)
