And the curtains being witness
of her silent dark tears...
The shadows named Memories
crept in quietly
with the deafening silence
that cuts through the heart
She felt no less than
a numb puppet !

पर्दे की अदा , अपनाने का जी करता हैं।
नर्म रेह , हर दौर से गुज़र जाने का जी करता हैं ।
पर ख़ुद की अहमियत , रखने का जी करता हैं ।

पर्दे की अदा , अपनाने का जी करता हैं ।
दिल खोलने न बंद , करने का जी करता हैं ।
गलत चीज़ों से पहरा , रखने का जी करता हैं ।

पर्दे की अदा , अपनाने का जी करता हैं ।
धूप छान छांव , लाने का जी करता हैं ।
सुकूं दे ख़ुद को , तराशने का जी करता है ।

Nothing can match that purity in the eyes of a real believer;

Alas! For the stoners, your vision is but curtailed.

Curtain

Curtain me all you will.
Curtail me you can not.
I remain free,
to be found, discovered and cherished
by anybody, anytime.
I am not undiscoverable.
Do not be scared to think.
I promise, you’ll find me.
Possibly behind a few curtains,
of privilege, power and silence.
I am the breeze that makes
these iron-clad curtains ruffle.
I am free.
As are you.

It all started when we were playing hide and seek. I was wandering in a hideous attic, to find a place to hide. I hit the lights, dropped the curtains and hid behind a pile of cartoons.
What I witnessed next has brought me to this end.
While I was waiting to get caught, suddenly the bulb switched itself on. The velvety curtains started moving between its own folds. In fright I stepped forwards and fell down while my gaze was fixed on the curtains when I saw a silhouette juggling with neon balls. That moment I heard a voice which said " I caught you."It was my friend peeping out from the attic door. I left that place but couldn't leave the mystery of silhouette behind.

Coincidence is just a curtain of a puppeteer which conceals the hands that draws the strings of the world.

We all have to keep doing our roles till the curtains fall

# परदा #

लाज का परदा उढ़ा कर मुझे
बेपर्दा किया भरी महफ़िल में
वजह पूछते फिर रहे हैं फिर
मेरी बेहयाई की किस्तों में
