If she comes
do tell her
that beyond
all this chaos,
i am still
waiting for her
while sitting
on a bench made of our memories.
Tell her that
her jokes
are still
making me smile.
Just like her
voice
which is still
ringing in my ears.
Do tell her
that her hairs strands
are still lying
on the bed sheet.
And her
soothing fragrance
is still
lingering at the corner of my pillow.
Tell her that
I still miss those walks
on the river’s
bank,
as we kissed
in the golden light of setting sun.
That cold wind
which came
from the other
side of the river,
it still asks
me about her.
Tell her that
somewhere near the river
sycamore tree we planted together, is still waiting for her.
Those broken
mud cups
in which we
drank tea,
I still have
the pieces of those broken cups.
Tell her that I
still haven’t
stopped drinking
tea,
even though as always
i still burn my tongue while having it.
I am lying
here in the hospital bed
and doctor says it
won’t be too long.
If she's late then
do tell
her, that I waited for her.
My last breath
carried a hope
that she’ll be
there by my side.
I waited for her, for the rest of my life
Tell her…
Tell her…
Achha likha hai...
