painted by the gentlest
heart on the heart of a
tireless seeker believing
against all odds.

As we quietly tiptoe towards the end of the year, my soul is tired of trials & peace seems evasive. In my forlorn journey, time draws pitiful sighs. Happiness as usual is fleeting. Please cover me in hope's shield that I may cross the bridge of plight.

Yours truly,

predators who
underestimate their prey.
For survivors, it is not just
a relief in disguise but
a dawn of new life.

I love him from afar.

The love,

he has taught me so far.....

-

in sorrow's grim lap.
Grief woven in despair
narrates tales unspoken.
Desires frozen in gloom
testifies a long fought battle.
Yet dim eyes brighten at
the sight of candlelight.
Albeit hearts turn cold,
All find resonance in
warm solitary night.

Aankhon se chalka hai,
Ranj mera gehra hai.
Kore kaagaz par,
Alfaaz sunehra hai.
Khamosh sadaa hai,
La parwaah zamana hai.
Dil ke zakhmi ko,
Marham sahara hai.
Tanha safar hai,
Haal behaal hai.
Daastan adhuri hai,
Humsafar darkaar hai.

-

Baadlon sa garajta raha mere aangan men.
Do boonden kya barsin,
main barkha samajh baithi.

-

Apni aapbeeti sunaoo ya rehne dun ?
Maayusi ko behne dun ya rehne dun ?
Ranj ki gehraiyon se tarruf karwaun
Ya tumhara mann behlaaun aur rehne dun ?

-

the arrogant bows.
The heart swells,
Ego goes for a toss.
Emotion overrides logic,
Pride ultimately falls.
Love heals chaos,
Aroma lingers long.

Kashish se mutassir hain dil shikasta bhi
Pur sukun ki khwahish hai qatl e aam ji
