Meri adhoori kahani
Lo daastaan ban gayi
Tu ne chhuya aj aise
Main kya se kya ban gayi
White pages and a long silence
Wrapped in a quiet deep wish,
A little prayer, and unspoken hymns
Shyly pass your moulds of words
Through the shadows of countless
Heart broken, tired lanterns
You light with a sooty flame
Like the kohl in my eyes.
Like whispers of white
Among the petals of a faint rose
I ask my heart if you do
Recall my image, in dusky fragments
And bursts of cloudy aspirations,
Like a long lost music,
A half forgotten letter,
A missed heart beat.
In remembrance sudden and intense
Puddles of golden light
Accumulate at my eyes and unfold
A screen of tales, a hundren mischiefs untold.
I wish on the curling smokes of incense
May you live well and be happy
O Flier of blue kites.
A tear for you,
The purest gift
In remembrance
Of times lost in dream
beautiful
