Poet unknown…
“Aap gairon ki baat karte hain
Humne to apne bhi aazmayen hain
Log kaaton se bachke chalte hain,
Humne to phoolon se zakhm khaayen hain!!”
Roughly translated…
“You keep complaining about strangers
I have tried my own loved ones too
People try to stay clear of thorns
And I have been hurt by flowers!!”
Ustad Nusrat fateh Ali khan sahab has sung it so well too
Do you have the link to the song?

Yeh jitne bhi zakhm hain mere dil par doston ke lagaye hue hain…
Rajib zakhme dil se bhi tum kitne khub ho. .
How about….
” You talk of strangers,
I haven’t been accepted by my own
People steer clear of thorns,
Yet I have been wounded by flowers”
