थोड़ी फुर्सत लेकर आना ज़रा,
किसी इतवार की सांझ में ।
तुम्हें सोमवार के 'अगर ' ,
बुधवार के 'मगर',
और शुक्रवार के 'काश' ,
से रुबरु करवाता हूँ ।

-

सुना रहा था मैं महफिल में ,अपनी वफ़ा के किस्से ।
उन पर जो निगाहें रुकी, अचानक हम बेजुबां हो गए।

-

We don't know how brightly we can shine;

Unless we have cleaves and cracks in us,
To let out that light. To let out that warmth.

-

The nights used to be
So aesthetic,
When the stars used to
Glisten in your eyes.

-

Gush out that dust of past, onto me.

I need to acknowledge all those

Wrong ways you've been treated in.

I need to gorge you with ardor, care

Fidelity, love and all the right ways,

You've missed out on.

-

Tell me about the conclusions you've hit.
The healings you drenched your soul into.

Tell me about what comes after
The aftermath; you had been stuck on
For ages now; altogether.

Tell me about what legends
These scars hold.

For legends are preached out loud
Not kept hidden in secrecy.

This night darling;
I am all ears. Make me yours.
Give me the chunks of you.

Tell me! Oh love.
I am waiting. Tell me!

-

If letting go seems to be cowardice;
Holding on feels like a treacherous pain.

-

But goodbye doesn't account for forever.
Does it? Or do we make it?

-

I could feel it.
You slipping away from my hands.
From my life. From my space.

I am sorry. I could do nothing.
I just tried to grip onto you tighter,

Only to lose you at a much quicker pace.

-

Love, my love, is outrageous.

A storm we fathom as a soft breeze,
A rouge wave we reverie as slow tides.

It is more of an end we supposedly
Thought of as just a beginning.
