Muskurate raho

That lovesick grin on your face that refuses to go away coz you called him without any rhyme or reason. That fear that others might know what you are upto. Doing it all on when you can steal 5 minutes from work

Dil bhar aaya

Dil Bhar Aaya Na koi sarmaya, na koi humsaya, Aaj phir se dil bhar aaya. Roz ki tarah hi tha sab kuch, Par aaj tanhaayi ne zyada rulaya. Khud se hi ki baatein, aur khud ko hi samjhaya, Aaj phir se dil bhar aaya.

एकाकीपन

जैसे-जैसे उम्र बढ़ रही है, दिल में एक नया डर घर करने लगा है—अपने बड़ों के खोने का डर। उनके बिना शर्त प्यार और उनके साए के छिन जाने का डर। दुनिया में बस तीन लोग हैं जो हमेशा मेरे हर सुख-दुख में मेरा हाथ थामे रहते हैं—मेरे वालिद, वालिदा और मेरी चाचीजी। इनकी मौजूदगी... Continue Reading →

A Pitiful Plea In quiet hours, I reach for screens, Typing words I hope will land. I call out to harsh voices, Hoping for a gentle hand. But even they push me away, Leaving me feeling small and worn.

A Poem of Solitude In crowded rooms, I stand alone, Carrying stories no one’s ever known. Thoughts unspoken, moments unsaid, A world quietly screaming within my head.
