Where do I pour this love?
It haunts me when I lay in bed,
begging to be whispered and held;
Sweet nothings? No— everythings instead
“Give me to him,
as he wants it,
needs it,
craves
it”
Who? Where? I reply,
before turning to my side.
I pour inward, and keep it aside.
Years go by,
drop by drop.
This will do, I decide.
drop by drop.
I’m no longer dried.
drop by drop.
Overflowing; that’s no surprise.
drop by drop.
Where else do I pour this love?

What of the world when you are here?
A cosmic harmony, where no one can interfere

Na aarzoo, na chahat
Labon pe hansi laani parti hai
Na qadar, na ishq
Dil ko band karna parta hai

Bunyaad ko bana te huwe,
mein apne aap ko nahin bhool sakti.

A touch of coldness
Thin frost— and now I’m closed off
Thaw me out with warmth

my parents taught me
opposites don’t just attract
they also connect

When you make a mistake and understand why,
you learn and glow.
When you welcome the lessons this brings,
you blossom and grow.

“You changed my life for the better.”
Sitting across from one another,
on a quiet summer afternoon,
Papa spoke to Ma.
“I became better, because of you.”
My eyes widened.
“I would’ve been lost without you.”
I tiptoed away.
“It didn’t happen suddenly,” she chuckled.
Comfortable silence blanketed the two.
“I’m glad that I chose you.”

It looked awful
It felt even worse
For a moment,
vision was laced with uncertainty
My heart tugged
I saw me
I. Saw. Me.
vision cleared about what to believe—
myself.

I don’t rely on anything for my happiness
That is of my own
I once made the mistake of wishing
“Want” is to be disowned
