Drown in your tears
Or,
Let your cries
Be what ties
The knot..
Tightly around your neck
Then finally,
Let go...
And go.

I do not have hearty anecdotes to share,
for I was never more than garnish on the plate
But do not think that silence is indifference,
It is necessary to keep my anguish contained

Come tomorrow, we will get to see
A new dawn for you, and a new one for me
For better or for worse I know not - I will be
without your jests and laughter for company

I know,
There will be a little less sunshine
O friend, philosopher, and guide
So I'll try my best to force a smile
But this is where we say goodbye.

कैसे समझाऊं की कितना नादान है तू
अपने ही हालत से अनजान है तू
सच्चा है तो सच क्यूं बोल ना पाए
ए दिल, कितना बेईमान है तू

कभी होंठों पे हसी का इनाम है तू
कभी पलकों में सावन का पैग़ाम है तू
गिरगिट भी हैरान तेरे बदलते रंगो से
ए दिल, कितना बेईमान है तू

सोचता था कि सतरंगी आसमान है तू
पर अब लगता है मौसम ए तूफान है तू
ज़ंजीरों से है शिकायत पर तोड़ना भी ना चाहे
ए दिल, कितना बेईमान है तू


How to make you understand how naive are you
Your own feelings are unknown to you
If you're truthful why can't you speak the truth
O heart, so dishonest are you

Sometimes a prize of a smile at the lips are you
Sometimes the message of monsoon in the eyes are you
Even a chameleon is dumbfounded by your changing colours
O heart, so dishonest are you

I thought a rainbow-filled sky were you
But now I feel a raging storm are you
You complain about your chains yet don't want to break them
O heart, so dishonest are you

do tides even care
which direction it sweeps in
rising up again
never to be wrong, I go
soothing warm waters, I trust

If kisses were candies,
I would come to taste different flavours,
What a mouthful.
If hugs were snacks,
Crispy and spicy,
With lots of feelings (fillings)
I would keep all for you,
No, may be one or two for me.
If your smiles were electrifying
We would have a complete circuit,
You ,me, the kisses and the hugs
Ohhhhh  ohhhh   ohhhhh ohhhh
23/5/2019

I miss you, my friend
I miss the days we were inseparable
You lift my spirits
You remind me to smile
Not to be so serious
Not to be so selfish
But our lives have grown apart
But I still love you, friend
We have the best of times
We are something special
I’ll see you soon
And again, I will smile
