Agar tum mil jao

The owl is my friend now.
He watches over me
When my eyes search for sleep
He stays awake
When I go looking for the sunrise
He chuckles disapprovingly
When I talk of love and lust
He smiles at me
When I tell him that I am strong
The owl is my friend now.

The owl is my friend now
He flies by my side
No matter how long the distance
He opens doors to new horizons
No matter how much I like the dark
He conveys my messages to the other side
No matter how sad or tortured
He listens patiently to my vengeful declarations
No matter how laced with cruelty
The owl is my friend now.

The owl is my friend now
Or so he would like me to believe.
But he has no answer when asked
If the night and day
Are really true good friends...
