Attraction dilemma

What does one do with a pretty girl one is attracted to?

Ignore her for she is never going to be attracted to you anyway
But then it would become a self-fulfilling prophecy
and you would always feel that you could have made an attempt

Or the other option is to try and somehow grab her attention....hoping she would notice you, then like you and perhaps things may develop from there.
But then the more you give attention to a girl, the more self-important she feels
the more she takes you for granted and you end up becoming worse than a worthless slave.

So then you do nothing - you neither ignore her, nor go after her.
Then what happens?
Well - here's a scenario
She will put a fresh worm at the end of the line to catch the fish thats u.
Not that she is interested in you, but that she wants you to be interested in her
...Why?? Well, just for the heck of it. Even she doesnt know why...
And then when you are hooked and struggling to break free, she wonders what to do with you, to release you or grab you ...and the game begins again....

An innocent heart

Translated the first stanza

The gaze got inextricably hooked
Couldn't cut through silken chains
Age has grayed every strand of hair
Yet not mellowed this youthful craze

Heartbeat rises unchecked,
Bringing colour to lifeless cheeks
Yet trepid in being alone
Is this innocent heart.

A little bit fragile
Is this innocent heart.

Aisi ulji nazar unse hatt ti nahi
Daant se reshmi dor katt ti nahi
Umar kab ki baras ke safaid ho gayi
Kaari badari jawani ki chatt ti nahi

Walla ye dhadkan bhadne lagi hai
Chehre ki rangat udne lagi hai
Darr lagta hai tanha sone mein ji
Dil to bachcha hai ji
Dil to bachcha hai ji
Thoda kaccha hai ji
Haan dil to baccha hai ji
Aisi ulji nazar unse hatt ti nahi
Daant se reshmi dor katt ti nahi
Umar kab ki baras ke safaid ho gayi
Kaari badari jawani ki chatt ti nahi
Ra ra ra ..

Kisko ptaa tha pehlu mein rakha
Dil aisa paaji bhi hoga
Hum to hamesha samajhte the koi
Hum jaisa haaji hi hoga

Hai zor karein, kitna shor karein
Bewaja baatein pe ainwe gaur karein
Dilsa koi kameena nahi
Koi to rokey, koi to tokey
Iss umar mein ab khaogey dhokhe
Darr lagta hai ishq karne mein ji
Dil to bachcha hai ji
Dil to bachcha hai ji
Thoda kaccha hai ji
Haan dil to baccha hai ji

Aisi udhaasi baithi hai dil pe
Hassne se ghabra rahe hain
Saari jawani katra ke kaati
Piri mein takra gaye hain
Dil dhadakta hai to aise lagta hai woh
Aa raha hai yahin dekhta hi na woh
Prem ki maarein kataar re
Taubah ye lamhe katt te nahi kyun
Aankhein se meri hatt te nahi kyun
Darr lagta hai mujhse kehne mein ji
Dil toh bachcha hai ji
Dil toh bachcha hai ji
Thoda kaccha hai ji
Haan dil toh baccha hai ji

Two other thoughts came to mind

Maturity - the sense and stomach to bear the worst of something, for e.g. love, emotions etc and yet not turn away from that ... rather, to still be able to appreciate, enjoy its finer qualities and also to bear oneself with dignity and grace, even when provoked.

and

Wish a man could see the folly of his deeds before he commits them.
Composed two different couplets today ... so posting them together

Woh ek alfaaz kehti hain
To hum ek afsaana likthe hain
Woh ek jhalak jo dikhade
To hum sijdah hote hain

and

Hum tumhe apne aaghosh mein
Aise sama le
Ki na tum tum raho
Na hum hum rahe
