उसे खोकर लगा
जैसे अपना घर खो दिया
फिर एहसास हुआ
जो अपना था ही नहीं
मैंने उसे अपना समझ
अपना सब गवां दिया ।

And one day...

We turned from knowing each other's deepest, dark emotions
to
not knowing each other at all.

From waiting for his messages that would light up my day
to
not replying for days till I feel like talking to.

My world changed !

-

Little birdies still sit with me

They still keep chirping, all day
sitting on my window.
But now I ain't annoyed anymore.

It feels like they're
trying to distract me,
deliver a message not realised,
screaming to live again.

There was a time when all I wanted to hear from
was you.
And now since you're gone,
they give me company.

Sitting along the window, they tell me stories
of the places they've been to
and people they've seen.
Some new friends who were kind to them,
while others who shushed them away.
And I wonder of how it would be to
live a life like theirs,
with only purpose of survival
wandering through the places.

-

We all need to go through storms,
to learn,
grow,
love and
accept.
Our stories are different
and yet similar.

-

पत्ता पत्ता बूटा बूटा हाल हमारा जान गए,

तुम्हारे इंतज़ार में वो खिला हुआ फ़ूल भी मुर्झा गया ।

-

I stand by myself.
It's a hard learnt life lesson.
The world will always have something to complain about.
So you rather believe in yourself.
Don't wait for anyone to push you through.
Fight your battles on your own, darling !

-

and somedays, I feel like I miss you a lot
dear life,
more than you do...

-

मन को खोल कर तो देखो ।
हर इंसान अपने हालातों के मुताबिक़
बदलता है,
दिल से इन बातों पर गौर करके तो देखो।

-

I dreamt of a life
With a little more smile,
a bit more laughter
and a little less pain.

But every inch of day aches and
that's what keeps me alive.

-

अड़े हैं अब फलक तक जाने को ।

बढ़ते सिमटते दायरों के बीच
ये एहसास आया,
ज़माना गुज़र गया हमे खुद से मिले हुए ।
