वो १७ साल...(A journey of 17 years...)

"Missing you comes in waves, I know this because now I am drowning..."

Before you think, good or evil, right or wrong, good or bad, correct or incorrect, love or hate, near or far, black or white, deep or shallow, me or you; think who you are? I am a wanderer, I always travel, sometimes to see new place, sometimes to learn, sometimes to hide, sometimes to seek and sometimes I travel to search my soul, myself.

It seems that I won't stop ever, though it's good to end the journey but in the end the journey matters. A million words won't bring you back because I know you don't read, neither would a million tears, I know because I cried.

Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can....!!

"मैं कौन थी ?

तुम कौन थे ?

मैं एक नाम थी 

तुम एक नाम थे... 

दो अनजाने चेहरे 

कहीं गुमनाम थे 

खींच लायी थी क़रीब 

वो एक मुलाकात 

पर हम अनजान थे 

दोस्ती से शुरू हुआ था एक सफर 

सीढ़ियां चढ़ता गया 

कुछ मैं बढ़ती गयी 

कुछ तू बढ़ता गया 

तुझमें और मुझमें 

बस यही एक फर्क था 

मुझे तुमसे मुहब्बत थी 

और तुम्हें शायद 

सिर्फ "तू" पसंद था,

बालिग़ होने से बरस दूर थी 

मुहब्बत मेरी 

फिर क्यों तू 

मुँह फेर कर चला गया??

 

Translation:

 

"Who was I?

Who were you?

I was a name

You were a name...

Two unknown people

Lost somewhere

That one meeting

drew us close

But we were unaware

The journey

started with friendship

and kept climbing the ladder

I took few steps

and so does you

the only difference between us was

I was in love with you

But you liked "yourself" only

Our love was an year away 

from turning eighteen,

then why did you 

Leave me and turn away.....??
