Shayari 1 - Iljaam

ऐ मोहब्बत तू अब हमें कोई पैगाम न दे,

दर्द मिलता हैं जब मोहब्बत अंजाम न दे,

हम तोह बेवफा को भी बेवफाई का नाम न दे,

वह भूलकर हमें सजाये हुए हैं अपनी महफ़िल,

ऐ ज़ुल्फी, तू उन्हें भूल जाने का इल्जाम न दे.

Love's Promise Unfulfilled.......Poem

I can see your face in the distant window,
Your eyes on the road coming from hills,
Veiled by the mists of uncertainty,
And tears waiting to happen,
By joy or by sorrow...

I hear you whisper my name in the nights,
And feel your breath on my spine,
As you recall me from your memories,
And wrap your arms around yourself,
Hugging me tight...

I am guilty of passion, I am guilty of desire,
I am guilty of the spark that lit the fire,
That burnt down your hopes, your dreams,
And left you with ashes of longings,
I am guilty of love's promise unfulfilled.

The Prison Wall

There's a prison wall that you can't see,
A wall that's not just between you and me,
The wall that keeps out and keeps in,
But wonder how this silence seeps in,
Not solitude but loneliness abounds,
The wall still stands its grounds,
My silent screams shatter it no more,
Not a single crack in its sturdy armor,
A wall that I have to break or scale,
A soulful song or a gallant tale.
