The 'Fortress of Solitude' Song


अब देखो ना, बोलो ना, चलो हटो!

निकट न आवो, पीछा ना करो अब,

अकेले मोको, जीने दो || 

निलज छलिये रुक! अब और नहीं!

पथ ना रोको, 

      सुख ना टोको,

            अकेले मोको,  जीने दो || 

Explanation & Context

We all need a 'fortress of solitude' now and then. 

It might be a break after an argument, a refuge for introverts overwhelmed by social noise, or a shield against greedy corporations and scammers trying to exploit you.

Don’t watch, don't speak, back off!
Leave me alone, don’t follow.
Let me live my life, and be me.

Shameless charlatan - stop! Never again.
Stay out of my way,
Don’t spoil my day,
Let me live my life, and be me.
