Been a while

Its been a while ,that I am stuck in the
रूह That I haven’t met some familiar faces;
same place;

Been a while since I’ve walked this extra
mile;
इन आँखों में नमीसी हैं
That I haven’t seen my mother with a
नजाने किसिी िमीसी हैं? proud smile.

But sometimes a while feels like a lifelong,
इन्े मुंदनेिा बडा मन है,
And no matter what I do, everything feels
उस मुख्तलिफ दुननया में जाने िा बडा मन है;
wrong;
पर आज बडे अरसे बाद I hope this storm ends in a while,

So I can cherish the smallest and the big-
इन आँखों में एि चमि सी है,
gest moments of life;
शायद उनिे ददि िी धडि जैसी;
Now that the storm has calmed down,
आज ना नमी है न िमी है, And it’s time for sunshine,

Somewhere, deep down, the heart feels a
बस एि लशिायत है उनसे,
void,
वो गालिब सुनाते रहे, इस बात से बेखबर िी
That can’t be filled with the illusions of
हमारी रूह तो रूमी िी है this world,

But with the radiance of those familiar
faces,
Who left my world without any traces;
The storm consumed my mother & her

smile,
which was supposed to embrace me on
came the sunshine.
