VINTAGE AASHIQ..........

The school of hard knocks...

Here comes a phase of trying times,
with the past now my present rhymes,
It's about time to pull up my socks,
as i near the gates of the school of hard knocks....

Here comes a phase for digging deep,
to clench my fists and get ready to leap,
It's time for the key to open all the locks,
if i want to enter the school of hard knocks....

Here comes a phase to trust myself,
No God, no Devil, neither an angel, nor an elf,
It's time to hold tight as come crashing down the rocks,
if i want to survive the school of hard knocks..

Here comes a phase of endless pain,
of withering hope in the absence of a gain,
It's time to stay brave despite the cruel mocks,
if i want to learn in the school of hard knocks...

Here comes a phase to test my soul,
to see if on my heart life can take its toll,
It's time to look back even if the evil eye gawks,
if i want to pass out of the school of hard knocks...
