गुम...

होश होता तो तुम्हें सुनाते,
इस दिल को रोता हुआ हम।

आँख न बंजर होती तो,
अपने अश्कों से मिलवाते तुम्हे हम।

मेरी मेहब्बत को कर शर्मिनदा,
चल दिये तुम...

दर्द पहचान पाते तो तुम्हें,
आह का रंग भी दिखाते हम।

Chapters...

Silently I close the chapters I wrote for you
The pages are still crisp
The ink still bright
Slowly I shove this book in a corner.

Words, jump out...
swirl around...
Surrounded
Engulfed
Escape isn't an option

A voice tells me to wait,
for the chaos to die.
for the pages to turn yellow
Maybe, just Maybe,
then those words will fade.

I wait for the next tick of the clock
Dead silence...
