My love for you  
is pure and true,  
a feeling that resides in my heart,  
without expectations or demands.  

I wish for your happiness,  
pray for your peace,  
and hope for your well-being,  
in every moment.  

I strive to become better,  
to be patient and strong,  
to support you from afar,  
with respect and dignity.  

This love guides me,  
to remain honest and sincere,  
to honor you with care,  
and to stay within the bounds of faith.
I want to make you mine,  
not just in whispered promises,  
not just in silent prayers,  
but in the life we build, brick by brick,  
hand in hand.  

But my hands empty, searching
grasp only air where security should be.  
Not because I do not try,  
not because I do not dream,  
but because the world demands more  
than love alone.  

I am not afraid of struggle.  
I am not ashamed of waiting.  
But I fear the days slipping,  
the distance stretching,  
the time that asks me, "When?"
when I have no answer yet.  

I do not want to come to you  
with only poetry in my pockets,  
with only love in my voice.  
I want to bring you a future,  
solid as the ground beneath our feet,  
safe as the home I will build for us.  

So I walk forward,  
step by step, fight by fight,  
knowing that one day,  
when I stand before you,  
it won’t just be as a lover
but as the man who kept his promise.
Qatil *** main khud jazbaat ka meray,  
Har din karta *** qatl apni baat ka meray.  

Jo dil ke kone mein chhupa dukh tha,  
Aaj ban gaya hai shor hayaat ka meray.  

Meri har khushi ko main khud mitata raha,  
Qareeb na aaya koi bhi saath ka meray.  

Mohabbat ka diya khud hi bujhaya maine,  
Kya gila karun ab kisi firaaq ka meray?  

Har dafa main khud hi chor ban jata ***,  
Shikayat kaisi ** kisi ilzaam ka meray?  

Qatil *** main khud jazbaat ka meray,  
Har din karta *** qatl apni baat ka meray.
Har haal mein hum behaal rahe  
Gham-e-jaan se har dam ndhaal rahe  

Tumhari chahat ki rahguzar mein  
Kabhi khaak, kabhi paimaal rahe  

Na khwab bane, na taabeer mili  
Bas azaab hi azaab ke hamaal rahe  

Dhoop sehte guzargayi sadiyaan  
Shab-e-hijr ke hi sawaal rahe  

Mohabbat ke saahil bhi door the  
Aur dil ke toofaan be-zawaal rahe  

Shajar-e-umeed ka saaya na mila  
Hum faseel-e-gham ke kamaal rahe  

Jo charaagh jalaye the aarzu ke  
Wahi aandhiyon mein bemisaal rahe  

Rah-e-wafa mein the zakhm beshumaar  
Phir bhi hanste rahe, lajawab rahe  

Humne socha tha dil ka dard sunayein  
Magar lab pe qufl, aur sawaal rahe  

Har shaam ne tanhai ka zehar diya  
Har raat ke geet bhi malaal rahe

I shed tears every night, unseen,  
For dreams I’ve lost, for what has been.  
The silence speaks of wounds so deep,  
A restless soul that cannot sleep.  

Each tear that falls, a story untold,  
Of love, of pain, of days grown cold.  
I carry burdens no one can see,  
A heart that longs, yet cannot be free.  

I call to Allah in whispered tones,  
With trembling hands and aching bones.  
"Grant me strength," my prayer remains,  
"To endure this life, its countless pains."  

The night becomes my closest friend,  
A witness to the tears I send.  
Yet in the dark, a hope does shine,  
That His mercy will one day be mine.  

So I shed tears every night, sincere,  
For a brighter dawn to draw near.  
For peace, for love, for a tranquil heart,  
For a life where sorrows will depart.

Your face is like the rose in bloom,  
A radiant charm in every room.  
Its glow reflects a quiet light,  
A beauty soft, serene, and bright.  

Cover it with the veil so fine,  
A treasure rare, a gift divine.  
Let modesty guard this precious art,  
A jewel meant for the pure of heart.  

Each glance it draws, a silent prayer,  
A sign of blessings rich and fair.  
Protect its grace from fleeting gaze,  
And let it shine in rightful ways.  

Your face is like the rose, so pure,  
A creation crafted to endure.  
Wrap it gently, in modesty's care,  
And let its fragrance fill the air.

The eye of time has witnessed countless spectacles,  
Every joy bound to wounds, a profound connection tangible.  

Dreams extinguished in silence, unseen by all,  
Desires crumbling as wishes at their side would fall.  

Time played its games in the theater of existence,  
Love defeated, while hatred found persistence.  

Hearts became desolate in mere moments,  
Helplessness weeping at the doorstep of life's torments.  

The eye of time could never grasp this mystery,  
Why behind every smile lurks sorrow's misery.  

Yet this heart, for centuries, has asked again,  
Why does darkness follow when light remains?
