एक ख्वाब, एक दरीचा और मुहब्बत ( A dream, a window and love...)

The scars one can't see are the hardest to heal. Sometimes people had the right love at the wrong time. Which leads to loneliness at some point of time in life. And when the night falls, then their lonely heart calls. Unrequited love is life's biggest pain ever for anyone, being in love, while the other person doesn't love you back is like somebody is taking your soul away, the detachment kills you slowly.

"Love is pure, as it is devastating..."

I am still doing some soul search, I don't know what's more scary, you not loving me back or that me never stop loving you.

You are the reason, why I sleep so peacefully, because then you visit me in my dreams, and my dreams are actually mine. I don't know still, why am I trying to fly with a broken wing, but I will fly.

"Love doesn't always come easy, but keep loving..."

"बंद आँखों के दरीचों से

अक्सर दीखता था एक ख्वाब

बादलों के पीछे से झांकता एक चाँद

मेरे मुस्तक़्बिल का अक्स दिखाता था

मेरे कदम आते जाते

अक्सर ठहर जाया करते थे

उन नज़रों से जब

वो हमें देखा करते थे

यूँ लगता था मानो

बेसाख़्ता बारिशें होने लगी हों

बिजली की चमक में

दिखती थी

सायों की नज़दीकियां

फिर अचानक

ना जाने क्या हुआ

साये खो गए

बारिशें थम गईं

चाँद डूब गया

चांदनी सिमट गयी

गुज़र रही हूँ मैं

किसी अनजान गली से

वहाँ एक दरीचा है,

उदास है

दिल के वीराने में

उग आये हैं अब कुछ झाड़

यूँ लगता है

कभी मुहब्बत बसती थी यहाँ

अब यादों के खंडहर हैं

और कुछ धुंधले से साये हैं...."

 

Translation:

 

I often saw a dream

with my closed eyes, 

Moon looking out from

behind the clouds

Used to show me, my future

Often I used to stop

when his eyes met mine

Just as if, raining hard

shadows of the two

were seen during lightening

then suddenly

what happened,

the shadows lost, 

the rain stopped,  

the moon sank

the moonlight shrank,

Now, I am going through

an unknown lane

There is a window

a sad one,

in the wilderness of the heart

I can see few shrubs growing

feels like

once upon a time

Love used to live here

but now

there are ruins of memories

and some blurred shadows...'
