She cries as loud as the tides that burst their bounds.
Just not with tears.

Pain
Does that
to Music
what
Storm does
to
FIRE.

"Why did you......."
she stopped herself from speaking, yet again.
The scars on her right hand were still fresh and reminded her of previous assault.

She was not allowed to ask "why".

The night
is too dark
but it didn't
scare me. ever.
because.
It is still
many shades
Lighter
than the Dark
I'm made of.

मौसम ने ख़ुशमिज़ाजी में करवट ली आज कुछ ऐसे
बारिश की बूँदें धड़कनों को छू सी गई हो जैसे
लगे कि ज़िन्दगी ने बरसों बाद आज
पहली मुलाक़ात में ही
गले से लगाया है..

बैठ संग ज़िन्दगी लबों पे मुस्कान है ऐसे
शिकायत तो कभी थी ही न जैसे
हल्की सर्द हवा में बातें घंटों तक चली थी
हुई मुलाक़ात कुछ यूँ कि मुझसे ख़ास दिल्लगी थी

मिजाज़ ये हवाओं का ज़्यादा कहाँ ठहरता है
वक़्त युही बेवक़्त अक्सर बेवफ़ाई करता है
कुछ पल का मौसम ठग गया कुछ ऐसे
होश में ही बेहोशी का छलावा हो जैसे

आँखें खुली तो पाया
कुछ खफ़ा सी ही है ज़िन्दगी
आज भी, वैसे ही
बरसों से थी जैसे।

I don't know
whether
It's a kind of
relief, to me
Or
A depressing
thought..
that
I'd never have
any Worst Phase
In my Life.
Ever.
Because.
It's almost
impossible
For
A Phase, to Come
that has
never LEFT..
Since I took
my first breath
Till now.

इतनी उम्र तो नहीं
जितना तज़ुर्बा दे गए ग़म
जो ना थे
वो हो गए है हम

-

Sometimes,
being confused about almost everything and
Regretting for wrong decisions.

Is still better than..

Losing the tendency to even "think".

Behind
each poetry,
there's a Story,
The beginning
and ending
of which,
It
Reveals
And Hides..
At the same time.

-

Do not
Empty yourself
just to complete
someone else.
The ones
with
the hollowest of hearts
would still complain.
