अब क्या पूछूँ...? (what shall I ask...?)

“Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no fibs.” ― Oliver Goldsmith

Well, I am still confused, whether I should ask or not, the feeling is strange. One moment it pushes me to take a step forward and ask him, the next moment it says to Stop. I sometimes feel there is so much inside each one of us to ask, to seek, to entreat, to call....there is so much but then I decide to step back.

“To ask why we fall in love is like asking why the leaves fall..."

Love is like a seed, it grows from within, from darkness to light, one simply starts liking someone and gradually start loving, without even knowing the reasons. We all fall in love, sometimes we realize, sometimes we are confused and sometimes we just slip it away from us....we let it go.

But one should ask, one should know, so here I go. "Why don't you pretend that I asked, now answer the question... :-)

"कभी पूछा

कौन हो तुम

कभी पूछा

मेरे कौन हो तुम

कभी, कहाँ हो तुम

और कभी,

क्या अनजान हो तुम

साया लगे कभी

कभी हमसाया लगे तुम

जीवन की उहापोह में भी

रोज़ याद आ जाते हो तुम

मेरी तन्हाईयाँ भी

तन्हा नहीं अब तो

मेरे अधूरे ख्वाबों को

क्यों सजा जाते हो तुम

हर धड़कन मेरी

बंधी है तुमसे

अपनी एक झलक से

मुझे आज़ाद

करा जाते हो तुम,

कितने सवाल हैं

अनगिनत से

पर अब क्या पूछूँ तुमसे

अपने मौन से

हर सवाल का

जवाब दे जाते हो तुम

अब क्या पूछूँ तुमसे??

"Sometimes, I asked

Who are you?

and sometimes

Who are you to me?

Sometimes, where were you

and Sometimes

Unknown, are you?

You were like a shadow

and sometimes like

my own shadow

In the ups & down

of life too

Daily, I remember you

My loneliness is

also not lonely now

Why do you

dress up and decorate

my incomplete dreams

Each breath of mine

is tied with you

You set me free

With a glance of you

How many questions I have

Umpteen & countless

But what should I ask you,

You, answer each of them

With your silence

What else should I ask now?
