Poora dukh aur aadhaa chaand
Hijr ki shab aur aisa chaand
Din mein vehshat behal gayi thi
Raat hui aur nikla chaand
Kis maqtal se guzra hoga
Itna sehma sehma chaand
Yaadon ki aabaad gali mein
Ghoom raha hai tanha chaand
Meri karvat par jaag uthe
Neend ka kina kachchaa chaand
Mere munh ko kis hairat se
Dekh raha hai bhola chaand
Itne ghane baadal ke peechhe
Kitna tanhaa hoga chaand
Aansoo roke noor nahaaye
Dil dariya tan sehra chaand
Itne raushan chehre par bhi
Suraj ka hai saaya chaand
Jab paani mein chehra dekha
Toone kis ko socha chand
Bargad ki ek shaakh hata kar
Jaane kis ko jhaanka chaand
Baadal ke resham jhoole mein
Bhor samay tak soya chaand
Raat ke shaane par sar rakhe
Dekh raha hai sapna chaand
Sookhe patton ke jhurmut par
Shabnam thi ya nanha chaand
Haath hilaa kar rukhsat hoga
Us ki soort hijr ka chaand
Sehra sehra bhatak raha hai
Apne ishq mein sachcha chaand
Raat ke shaayad ek baje hain
Sota hoga mera chaand.

Parth completed reciting the poem. He didn't notice a girl standing in the shadows with tears in her eyes. He got up from the bench and headed back to his dorm. Vibha came out of the shadows wiping her tears she remembered the first she saw him. He had this lost and lonely look in his eyes.
The second meeting was the shocker. The eyes spokes volumes of anger and hurt. His grip on her shoulders wasn't what hurt her. His look of unrestrained emotions assaulted her senses. Never had she seen such expressive eyes on anyone. Those eyes called at her, crying for someone to listen. They shook her to the core. But what she didn't understand was why he didn't like accepting help from anyone. When she had asked around about why the fight had happened, she found out that some of the boys were bullying Utkarsh. Parth got angry and intervened. But when Utkarsh gratefully went to dress his wound, he wouldn't accept help. She had to forcefully give him the medicine.
Vibha couldn't understand why she became weak meeting his eyes. He is her student. Though they had only a 2 to 3 year age gap, she was still his teacher. She had no business having any feelings besides responsibilty towards him.
