Poetry

Phir milna hoga to miloge khwabon mein?
Ya ab humse khwab mein bhi doori hi behtar hai?
Darte hain hum tumhare khwabon se bhi,
Hath pakad liya jo tumne agar usme,
To neend ka nasha hoga,
Mehfilein bhi khamosh hongi,
Din mein bhi sirf aur sirf raat hogi.


If we are to meet again, will it be in dreams?
Or is distance even in dreams now better it seems?
I fear the dreams that bring you near,
For if you take my hand in there,
Sleep will turn into a spell,
Even gatherings will fall still,
And daylight will fade into night’s chill.
