Main kya kehnay laga tha?
bhool gaya, shayad is k
kehnay ki zaroorat na thee.
Kehnay hi laga tha bina sochay
andaaz lagaya fir main ne kya faida,
nuksaan, farak hoga jaldi se kehnay main.
TircHi roshni kaansi k box pe
dil toD rehi thee mera.
pal bhar ka vichaar
Mere dil ko maroD raha tha.
Kehnay ko kuch na tha
Kuch na tha kehnay ko.

Are You Going to Stay?
Thomas Meyer
What was it I was going to say?
Slipped away probably because
it needn't be said. At that edge
almost not knowing but second
guessing the gain, loss, or effect
of an otherwise hesitant remark.
Slant of light on a brass box. The way
a passing thought knots the heart.
There's nothing, nothing to say.
