Waiting In Love Poem by Ravi Kopra

ye intizār nahīñ sham.a hai rifāqat kī
is intizār se tanhā.ī ḳhūb-sūrat hai

- Arshad Abdul Hamid

***

It is not just the waiting
It is the evening of the meeting
with my love after a long time

No more loneliness
No more grieving

Waiting for her arrival
feels so wonderful today

I am standing at the gate
for the deplaning passengers

With a dozen fresh roses
in my smiling hands

I am looking in the distance
for my love in the sky blue silk sari

The moment I see her I will
rush to her and shower her with kisses

I have been saving for her
in my heart that is all hers.
