In the expanse of ocean's blue, I lost myself somewhere..
Or am I supposed to question my existence after all?
I've wandered far from my essence, my soul's silent plea,
In shadows where whispers of doubt cruelly tease.
Each step I take, a weight upon my heart,
A burdened soul adrift, drifting apart.
The weight of doubt anchors my weary soul,
Lost in the labyrinth, unable to console.
Each breath a struggle, each step a trial,
In the shadowed valleys, I wander in denial.
What happened to the spark that once lit my eyes?
Where did I lose the melody of life's sweetest cries?
The echoes of remorse , they haunt my every move,
A symphony of sorrow, a melody I can't improve.
Where did I go wrong? Where did I lose my way?
In the maze of choices, led astray.
In the silence of solitude, I search for a sign,
A reason to believe that I'm still aligned?
But the echoes of emptiness, they linger and stay,
A haunting reminder of dreams led astray.
So here I stand, lost in the mist,
Questioning my existence, my purpose, my tryst.

وہ آتش تھا جو جل گیا
تھی سیاہ رات کی بینائی
وہ اعلیٰ ظرف مقاموں میں
بس اس کی جان پہ بن آئی
وہ قلب سکونی فطرت کی
خاموشی میں ہنگامہ سا
عشق کا یوں کیا ذکر کریں
یہاں ہاتھ آئی بس رسوائی
تھا قیص یونہی دیوانہ سا
تھی لیلیٰ جیسے شب ِ سیاہ
ایک مجنو تھا جو بکھر گیا
ایک لیلیٰ تھی جو بچھڑ گی
کیوں قیص سے یوں وہ مجنو ہوا
آباد جو اس کی قبر ہوئی
کیوں پھر سے عشق مذاق ہوا
مر کے ہی اس کی قدر ہوئی

کنارہ گر سے ویرانِ صحرا سنھبالا میں نے اس قدر
کہ کنارہ کرکے صحر سے سراب بکھر گئی یہ زندگی

I’ve had one wish as long as I remember
I wish it was always as dark as December
Then I could hide in the black of night
Watch the world but stay out of sight
Be invisible so no one can see
Just blend into the scenery
I only ever feel safe this way
I hate the exposing light of day
I want to see, but not be seen
This is the way I’ve always been
I became known for disappearing
Spent my whole life running and fearing
So you don’t have to worry then
If you never see me again
I’ll be around In the distance
Making no sound but still in existence

To stop the tears
I wrote..
And words cried!

"How beautiful
It must be
To be so loved!
How terrible it is,
Not to be loved at all!"

-

Emerald sea of eyes,
Flooded with lingering pain!
Waiting to catch
The heavenly glimpse
Of beloved!
Neither the pain stops
Nor does the wait!

-

With me or within me!
They proved that love is never bound to alphabets..

-

I find myself caressing each step forward and unlocking a new fear for myself!

-

 A wound,
Left unattended,
Heals with time.

A longing,
Left unfulfilled,
Becomes sempiternal pain.

-

Twilight.
Scattered thoughts.
Waning hopes.
I'm sewing,
Shards of soul.
Together
Again.
