In Every Work, It Was You

I never asked the world for much,
Only for your smile, your touch.
But fate had written a different line,
You walked away, no longer mine.

Still, in the silence, I carried your name,
In sleepless nights, in endless flame.
I painted you on canvas bare,
I wrote you in verses, unaware.

Every design my hands have made,
Every dream that would not fade,
Every battle I chose to fight,
Was lit by you, my hidden light.

You never knew, you never guessed,
The fire inside my restless chest.
While you lived a life apart,
I built a world with a breaking heart.

And now they call it “success” I own,
But deep inside, it’s seeds I’ve sown.
For all I did, I did for you,
Though my love was silent, pure, and true.

One day you may hear, one day you may see,
How far I walked with your shadow in me.
You may feel sorrow, or maybe be proud—
That someone loved you beyond the crowd.

Not just another face in time,
But a man who turned his wounds to rhyme.
And though you’re gone, forever apart—
You’ll live in my work, and my burning heart.

They Cannot Ignore You

At first, the world will laugh out loud,
Mocking dreams that rise from the cloud.
They’ll doubt your fire, try to suppress,
Blind to the truth your soul possesses.

But you know yourself, you know your might,
You’ve walked through days, burned through nights.
Dreams that refuse to let you sleep,
A vision sown, a promise to keep.

When the moment comes, the world will see,
Surprised at what you’ve dared to be.
Some will cheer, some turn away,
Some grow jealous, some will stay.

Yet through it all, one truth shines through—
What the world can’t do… is ignore you.
For every spark the doubters deny,
Becomes a flame that lights the sky.

So rise, unbroken, fearless, free,
The world must bow to your destiny.

They Can’t Ignore You

They laughed, they tried to hold you down,
But dreams don’t break, they only crown.
Through sleepless nights your fire grew,
Now the world has no choice—
but to notice you.

Whispers in the Sound of Silence

In the hush where echoes dare not tread,
Where night leans soft on dreams half-spread,
A voice arises, still and small—
Not loud, yet loudest of them all.

It speaks not words, but thoughts unspoken,
Through shattered truths and hearts left broken.
Each breath a prayer, each tear a song,
In silence, we’ve been loud so long.

Beneath the stars where shadows sleep,
Where wounds run quiet, dim and deep,
The sound of silence paints the air
With colors only souls can wear.

It tells of things we failed to say,
Of hopes we lost along the way,
Of eyes that saw, but never knew,
Of skies once black, now bleeding blue.

O silence—sacred, fierce, and wide,
You hold the storms we hide inside.
And in your depth, we come to see
The self we thought we’d ceased to be.

So speak, not with a thundered cry,
But in the stillness where we lie—
For in your arms, we find the grace
To hear the truth we dare not face.

The Love That Never Looked Back
—————————————————
I watched her laugh, I watched her shine,
And dreamed her distant hand in mine.
She danced in worlds I’d never know,
While I stood still, too scared to show.

She passed me by a thousand times,
And never heard my silent rhymes.
She never saw the tears I hid,
Or all the things I never did.

I carved her name in every thought,
And gave her all I never got.
A smile from her, a fleeting glance—
Enough to fuel a hopeless chance.

She loved another, not my name,
And yet I loved her just the same.
Like winter longs for spring’s first green,
I waited where I’d never been.

Now years may pass, and hearts may mend,
But this one truth will never end:
I loved her purely, without pride—
A love she never knew inside.

And though I walk this world alone,
My heart still calls her name unknown.
Not every love is meant to stay,
Some live to break, then fade away.

“I Loved You in Silence”

I loved you in silence, year after year,
In rooms filled with people, my gaze found your face,
A quiet devotion, untouched by grace.

You smiled like sunlight I could never hold,
A warmth just beyond me, quiet and cold.
You spoke, and my world would quietly sway,
But I was the one who just faded away.

I learned every version of love with your name,
Through seasons that passed, through joy and through shame.
I clapped for your joys with my breaking heart,
And stitched up the silence that tore me apart.

You never looked back, and that’s just the truth,
But I loved you through all of my stolen youth.
No grand confession, no pleading reply,
Just a thousand unsaid, softly whispered “goodbyes.”

But if ever your sky forgets how to shine,
Know someone once wished all the stars were just mine—
Not to keep, but to give to the glow in your eyes,
A love that lived, though it wore no disguise.

So I’ll carry you gently, a ghost made of light,
In the chambers of dreams that visit each night.
I loved you in silence, I loved you so deep—
Even if never yours, that love, I will keep.

ग़ज़ल — “तेरा नाम अब भी धड़कनों में है”

तेरा नाम अब भी धड़कनों में है,
तेरी याद अब भी इन सिसकियों में है।

मैंने चाहा तुझे पूरी वफ़ा के साथ,
पर ये कहानी अधूरी ख़लाओं में है।

तेरे बिना भी जी रहा हूँ मैं आजकल,
पर हर साँस तुझसे ही सवालों में है।

तेरी हँसी थी मेरी दुनिया की रौशनी,
अब अंधेरा ही हर उजालों में है।

तू समझा नहीं, मैं बिखरता रहा,
मेरा इश्क़ अब भी तेरे ख़यालों में है।

न शिकवा तुझसे, न कोई शिकायत है,
ये दिल बस तेरे नाम के उजालों में है।

तेरे लौट आने की अब कोई उम्मीद नहीं,
पर ये मोहब्बत अब भी सवालों में है।

희망의 속삭임

눈을 뜨면 꿈은 사라질지라도,
그것은 결코 영원히 잃어버린 것이 아니야.
잠에서 깨어난 순간,
꿈은 다른 모습으로 너를 기다리고 있어.
아침을 잃은 것 같아도,
빛은 여전히 너를 찾아올 거야.

사랑했던 것들이 사라진 것처럼 느껴질 때,
그것들은 그저 잠시 눈에 보이지 않는 곳에서
너를 기다리고 있는 거야.
구름이 지나가고, 태양이 다시 떠오르듯,
사랑도 다시 너의 곁으로 다가올 거야.

지키지 못했다는 마음에 짓눌려도,
너는 여전히 살아 있어.
굽은 마음이라도,
그 안엔 아직 따뜻한 불씨가 남아 있어.
너의 숨결 속엔 새로운 시작의 씨앗이 숨 쉬고 있어.

붙잡지 못한 것 같아도 괜찮아.
너의 손은 여전히 앞으로 뻗어나갈 준비가 되어 있어.
너의 마음은 아직도 사랑할 수 있고,
너의 삶은 아직도 빛날 수 있어.

멈춘 곳에서 다시 시작하면 돼.
너의 길은 끝나지 않았어.
네 안의 작은 빛은,
언젠가 어둠을 뚫고 세상을 환하게 밝힐 거야.

그러니, 비겁한 안녕 대신
희망의 안녕을 말해줘.
“안녕, 다시 시작할 나 자신에게.”

Whisper of Hope

Even if dreams seem to fade when you open your eyes,
they are never truly lost.
In the moment you wake,
your dreams are waiting for you in another form.
Even if it feels like you’ve lost the morning,
the light will still find its way to you.

When it feels like the things you loved are gone,
they are merely hidden,
waiting in places your eyes cannot yet see.
Just as clouds pass and the sun rises again,
love, too, will return to your side.

Even if the weight of what you couldn’t protect
makes you feel crushed,
you are still here, still breathing.
Even with a heart that feels bent,
there is still a warm spark within you.
In every breath, there lies a seed for a new beginning.

It’s okay if you couldn’t hold on—
your hands are still ready to reach forward.
Your heart still holds the capacity to love,
and your life still has the potential to shine.

Where you’ve paused, you can start again.
Your path has not ended.
The small light within you,
one day, will pierce through the darkness
and brighten the world around you.

So instead of a cowardly goodbye,
offer a hopeful one.
“Goodbye, to who I was.
Hello, to the person I am becoming.”
