नदियाँ, दरख़्त,
गलियाँ, दुकानें —
कभी-कभी किसी के प्रेम का
पूरा शहर गवाह होता है।

Never dance to someone else's beat.

And you are like the
verses of my unsent letters,
the whispered sonnet
my heart longs to share,
a stanza trembling
on the edge of silence,
too beautiful yet struggling
to release into the air.

तुम्हारे माथे पे जो जुल्फों का जाल अटका रहता है,
मुझे इसका बड़ा खटका रहता है।

-

फिर किसी माली को
रखवाली का रंज न रहे,
तुम मुझे डाली से छूकर
देह से खाली कर दो।

-

Meeting you is like looking into a mirror,
No difference do I feel, not now, not ever.
It seems as if another me walks beside,
Laughing, speaking, eyes open wide.

As though you are a part of my soul,
A piece of me—complete and whole.

What if this life’s a shadowed tale,
A fleeting dream, a fragile veil,
And death, the dawn where all begins,
A timeless realm where silence sings?

-

No matter how well I am dressed,
Your presence always gives the final touch.

Someone must have penned the world's first song,
While waiting for a love so strong.
The first beloved of this earth, no less,
Must have been a poetess.

किसी ने इंतज़ार में लिखा होगा संसार का पहला गीत।
संसार की पहली प्रेमिका शायरा होगी।

-

We could have watered
the weary plants you see,
Or read an old paper,
just you and me.
You could have asked for
another cup of tea,
Or played your favorite song,
carefree.
We could have shared how
our hearts truly feel,
Or you could have lost your
return ticket for real.

So much we could’ve done on that day,
But why did the thought of
leaving me come your way?
