Some people know how to write
And then there are people
Who never learned how to read.-
ये ख़याल इस दिल से पार ना हो जाए
सीधे ना देखो खुदको पानी में
कही पानी आग ना हो जाए।-
मकान ख़ाली है मेरे शहर के अज़रा
तू अपने शहर को मेरे शहर में बसा ले ।-
लिखावट तेरी मुझसें मिलतीं हैं सारिम
अधूरे शब्द भी तो ख़ामोशी में मिलते हैं ।-
ये जो राज़ लिखतें हो तुम
क़लम सें सियाहीं नहीं सुख्ती
यार बदल जाने से ।-
Witnessing death's cruel embrace, the hardest blow,
But graver still, beloved souls turned strangers, lo,
For in their eyes, once known, a foreign gaze now resides,
A heart-wrenching truth, where love's bond slowly subsides.-
The Half Of It
The half you know
The half that I never spoke
The half that has been choked
The half that gets lost
The half that nobody heard
The half that suffered
The half I wish I could speak
The half that hides beneath
The half you never know
The half that I never show.
-
And thats the time when i know
That holding that mother fu**
Won’t let me grow.-
