koi ho yado mein
palko pe boondein liye
aaina na bani ye aankhe teri
dhimi si khushbu hai
hawao ke jhonko ne jo
chhu ke tujhe churai
sanso ki raaho mein
kya mil sakenge kabhi
dhunde tujhe nigahe meri
sathi the janmo se
raaho mein kyun kho gaye
manzil hume bulane lagi

nagama ho bheega sa
ya ho tum ho koi gazal
har pal jise gungunata rahu
hontho se haule se
sargam jo behne lagi
aane lagi rahe meri

In memory's embrace,
Tears bloom on the lashes' edge,
Your eyes, a mirror now.

A subtle fragrance,
stolen by the wind's soft touch,
whispers of you.

In the breath's pathways,
will we ever find each other,
as my gaze seeks you?

Companions of ages,
why lost upon the roads we walked?
The destination beckons.

A drenched melody,
or a ghazal, tender and rare,
I hum always to it.

Softly from my lips,
a symphony begins to flow,
and my paths converge.
