A Little Bit of Hindi
Perhaps there’s a duality among us
a pulling, tugging breadth of rope
knotted and dyed in pastel hues
a coloured darkness in which to grope
Not held by walls or fences high
nor by earthen plot on human map
not hunkered down or standing by
not waiting long to bridge the gap
A depth of clearness held afar
by misty thought and foggy heart
बस दिल में रहे ये इंतेज़ार
to apiece the story part by part
to find an ending at the end
after a life of many starts
to live a life oft promised us,
to mend a broken heart
