This too shall pass

"All that is beautiful,
All that gives me pain,
It shall all pass away,
Nothing will remain."

28th January 2013 - A wish realised.

Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum ki ‘tu kya hai’ ?
Tumheen kaho ki yeh andaaz-e-guftgoo kya hai ?

Ragon mein daurte phirne ke hum naheen qaayal.
Jab aankh hi se na tapka to phir lahoo kya hai ?

Jalaa hai jism jahaan dil bhee jal gaya hoga.
Kuredate ho jo ab raakh, justjoo kya hai ?

Losing a friend is never easy.

Dhanno...

You were one of those few who never let me down.

Thanks to the enormous beauty inside the tiny beast.

You made me a better person.

....Lines from The Mourning Bride..

Heav'n has no rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd. Nor Hell a fury, like a Woman scorn'd.

Five years...

Babe..

I still love calling you in the middle of the night.

Thank you..

You're still my lifeline to sanity.

'Tis about time...

I don't want your Thank you...

I don't want your White flag.

I just want you to know that I'm over you...

And that's that.

The selfless becomes the selfish; the loved becomes the hated.

There's bereavement and despair everywhere.

Somewhere a soul is ripped out, it rebuts; pledges never to heal.

Sound of a breath; last gasp for air.

In a corner, the final drop is wiped off with a shaking hand.

Count of hurt reaches a tear; bleeds without a care.

The selfless becomes the selfish; the loved becomes the hated.
