Chahat main sambhlnay ka karina to sikha do,
Mushkil main bohat hoon zara jeena to sikha do,
Kiyoun chand say chehray pay baysakoni ki fiza hai
Ankhoon main chupi pyaas ko peena to sikha do,
Main sham dhalay aoon darwazay ko khula rakhna,
Dahleez pay bhi shama ko pighalna to sikha do,
Zakhmoon pe marham rakh ky kuch der to behlao,
Aur daman main howay chhedo’n* ko sena to sikha do..
(chhedo’n;holes)
Shabeeb Hashmi
Silent screams no one hears
Tired eyes filled with tears
Gut wrenching heartache no one feels
Emotions dark enough to kill
Mental exhaustion no one sees
Strong enough it hurts to breathe
An answer seekin no one speaks
A language spoken without speech
---inspired by a story character of mine

Losing reality, losing my mind
I try to stay with you but I'm falling behind
This fate's going nowhere
I'm left hurting inside
Tomorrow's not coming
What are you becoming
Nothing is out there
Pain and suffering forthcoming
Nowhere to hide, I'm on my own
Feeling so empty and alone
Your hatred shines bright
Your heart, a deadened stone
This pain you inflict upon me
Hurts greater than I'll ever let you see
But still I love you so
Though I know you can-will never love me
I just hope you know
That even though the love I want from you will never be so
I'll always love you
But now, before it hurts anymore, I must go...
Deep darkness fears me at night,
Sable thoughts surround me tight,
Run I to the dark corners to escape,
Wrestle against inner self and fight,
The conflicting struggle continues,
Till I exhaust and lose the might,
The next day recovers me again,
And the night brings the same plight.
I stare at divine's traquil sky,
Wondering, WHY...
Why, to my beloved wife, I have to say good bye
When have not found the answer to my question, why?
I stare at her pretty face and, silently, cry,
Still not knowing, why.
She drips her tears into my heart as she gazes at the woeful sky,
Knowing, why.
When my last breath sweeps away her sad tears onto the sky,
I still yearn to know ,why...
From nowhere, a magenta comet, to its grave,it whizzes by,
Suddenly, I close my eyes... now, TRI knows. why.
