A Lyrical Correspondence

Tell me,
in which language,
should I express my love,
for it to sound convincing enough,
and not recieve just a nod in response,
how long is one supposed to wait,
should I pray, night & day,
in which language,
tell me,

Listen, I guess, few faults our stars have got

And suffers your heart, I can see

Owing to my apathy

Helpless I am

Truly,

Clueless I am

But sympathize, I can only

For my heart, too, suffers already

till now, tears & scars as souvenirs it's got..

Poor thing..

**********

zamana lag jayega
aapko ye samajhne
me
ki ijazat ho aapki
toh zamane guzaar
sakte hai hum aapki
nigahon me

Kambakht zamane ne Kiya hai,

Iss kadar zulm,

Ki ab Nigaho par bhi

Bharosa na Raha...

Warna Iss dil-e-naachij ki

Kya majaal,

Jo aapki inayat Ko

Najarandaz Karen..

Chalo, de bhi di agar

Ijaazat Maine,

To kya ye waada Nibha paoge?

Ya fir, Zamane ke saath milkar,

Ikk aur takalluf de jaoge?
