TS - Kaash Aisa Koi Manzar Hota (Final Part-Page 8 updated) - Page 6

I am again standing here, in front of her window. There she was, leaning on the window grill, just like before. I was here just to see her, for I could not stay away from her even for a night, just like before. She was there, near the window, listening to ghazals, just like before. Only, I have changed and so has she.

So much has happened in the last few days. This new year was like a new birth to me, to her and to us.We just could not stay apart, for it was inevitable that we are together.

I could hear the beginning of a new ghazal and I could not help but think of her, see her and get lost in her.

"Bade dino baad sukoon sa hai aaj seene mein

Jaise koi chaaya hai aaj mere rooh mein"

I am at peace finally. All the torment and turmoil I went through is a mere memory now. She is with me, protecting me, protecting my soul, my entire being. She is the only one who can.

"Hum jahan khade hain, saamne manzil hamari

Koi chaand bhi na de paye

Koi Taara bhi na de paye

Aisi roshni hai jinki

Hum jahan khade hain, saamne manzil hamari"

I am at home finally. I was lost in the crowd, lost my way. I searched for my destiny, my home and I found her. She filled my heart, my soul with her light, the light which could not be compared with either the moon or the stars, for she is my star. She is the only one who is.

I met her eyes, which spoke volumes and we were talking, yet there was silence, but for the music and our souls were singing.

***

He was here again. But this time, he came back to me. There were no regrets, no pain, no torment. After all we went through, we finally found each other.

I was listening to my poem and could not help but think of him, see him and get lost in him.

"Bade dino baad sukoon sa hai aaj seene mein

Jaise koi tofaan aaj thami ho dil mein"

I am at peace finally. All the hurt and pain which was eating my soul, went away like dust. All the raging storm abated and there was only gentle breeze in my heart. For he is here for me.

"Ye lamha yahi ruk jaaye, ki dekhe hum unhe

Ashq hai in aankho mein

Khushi hai ye seene mein

Samaalu is ehsaas ko

Ye lamha yahi ruk jaaye, ki dekhe hum unhe"

I am at this moment finally. I have tears in my eyes, all these feelings are overwhelming. Yet, I am happy too, to have him here. I want to hold on to these feelings and never let them go. I want to look at him and hold on to him, I never want to let him go. For he is here with me.

I met his eyes, which spoke volumes and we were talking, yet there was silence, but for the music and our souls were singing.
