There are times when you don’t find words

To express what you are going through.

People cross your path, things happen,

But you move on, oblivious of everything.

Friends, I am going through such a phase!

I might have met some of you without a greeting,

Visited your dwelling and said nothing,

Sat with you for hours without a conversation,

Promised you something and didn’t keep my word.

Please forgive me, for I know not what is happening!

I want to write but the words won’t come,

I want to express but the feelings won’t emerge,

I don’t know whether its my circumstances to blame,

Or is it me myself who is creating this cocoon.

I don’t have a clue what the reason is!

Kar liya hoon khaamoshi ko is tarah akhtiyaar,

Dil bhi ab dhadke hain yaaro bin aawaaz.
