In the air
Shabnam Jul 2019
A few sighs unheard
Some unspoken words
Subtle hints
growing passion
& compassion
Unnamed attachment
Silent expectations
Confused signals
& a bread crumb trail
Left just for me
Be or not to be?

Wounded
Shabnam Jun 2019
In the ordeal to heal a soul..
Sometimes we end up wounding
our own.

In wonderland
Shabnam Jun 2019
Went on and on..
Wandering through the wonderful wonders..
One after the other
Till I came accross..
My wonderful wonderland.

Shiddat
Shabnam Jun 2019
Itni shiddat se mat padho mere lafzon ko; kuch yaad reh gaya to
mujhe bhul nahi paoge.
Don't read my words so deeply;
If you remember anything
You won't forget me.

Dream
Shabnam Jun 2019
Dear, enchanting & sweet;
Real but not true.
Earnest & hopeful
Abode of passions
My mesmerising dream.

Na samjho
Shabnam Jun 2019
Kisi ki wafa ko karobar na samjho..
Begarz ** kar kare jo yaad aisay yaar ko bekar na samjho..
Na kar sake jo inkaar use izhaar na samjho..
kisi ki khamoshi ko deewar na samjho..
Betakalluf hokar jo kare baat..
Aisay dost ko hoshiyar na samjho.
Don't take for granted!
Don't trade someone's faithfulness..
If someone remembers you selflessly,
Don't think them to be worthless;
If someone can't refuse, don't think it's a yes
Don't consider someone's silence to be a barrier;
Don't consider shrewd the friend who talks informally.

Even if it was a lie...
Shabnam Jun 2019
It made me smile for a while!

First drop..
Shabnam Jun 2019
Winds have brought the glad tidings of the first drop of rain;
For the showers of blessings we await..
For the rusky scent of the earth
For the rainbow in the sky
For the heavy downpour
& the water puddles
For the hot fritters with tea &
The season of love for you and me.

Slipping away..
Shabnam Jun 2019
I am trying to hold tight in the fist of my hand;
Relations that are slipping away like sand;
The fingers are numb due to the tightness of the hold;
When the fist is open I find nothing but the lines on my hand.
Shabnam Apr 2019
Reality is biting painfully,
Virtuality is pleasing infinitely..
In the real world happiness is rare & the struggles are always there;
In the virtual world there are endless fantasies & it's a dream world..
Idealistic people seldom practising; or
showing off their gleeful side..
Only a few friends in reality & a never ending list virtually..
But beware there's endless trauma.. when reality and virtuality interchange.

Soulmate
Shabnam Apr 2019
Like the sweet smell of wet sand,
Like the cool breeze in a dry land,
Like the morning twilight,
Like a twinkling star at night,
Like soft words in a harsh life;
Enough to make me strive.
Like an oasis in the desert
& a pole star in the sky.
Like a treasure hidden so deep..
An amethyst, a ruby, a coral of steep;
A soulmate is as sweet as life!

— The End —
