I hold on to the hope
that all this falling apart
will soon become falling into
place.

-

उठी आग सीने में तो,
आंच बन गए;
उस धुएं का मंज़र कर सैलाब बन गए।
यूं तो दिखते रंग सभी को,
आइनो में है;
रंग ढालना सीख लिया,
कलाकार बन गए।

-

The most vicious battles are fought
at night, When the body begs for peace
but the mind refuses it's defeat.

-

Maybe my soul is dark
from all the fires
I've survived.
and maybe, I don't
look you in the eyes
scared, that I might not
survive another.

-

All I ever wanted;
was you to want me,
but we don't always get
what we want.

- hope is dangerous.

-

In a society
that profits from
your self doubt;

Loving yourself is a
rebellious act.

-

You're the gospel;
that even God
wants to sing.

-

Talk to the moon,
And she'll tell you;
It's okay to disappear sometimes;
To shine again.

Brighter than you ever did.

-

अपनी ही इक नज़्म से कुछ यूं खफा हूं मैं;
ज़िक्र था जिस बेवफ़ा का; वहीं बेवफ़ा हूं मैं।

-

And,
You felt like
That last line of my poetry;

- an utter sense of completeness.
