The Hollow Well

 Before you, I knelt to a shadowed shrine,

A worshipper lost in a dream divine.

With you, the ember turned to flame,

A passion untamed, a whispered name.


And after—only silence grew,

An empty well where echoes flew.

I pour my verses, line by line,

Each word a wish, each rhyme a sign.


O depths so deep, O sorrow wide,

Will longing ever fill your tide?

Or shall my whispers, soft and frail,

Fade like footsteps on a trail?


Someday, perhaps, the well will rise,

With echoes soft as midnight sighs.

Or maybe love, once fierce and bright,

Will seep into the endless night.

संजोग।

प्रकृति की गति, होती वृत्ति से,
एक तेरी थी, एक मेरी थी।
कैसे कह दूं मिलना संजोग़ था,
क्यों न कह दूं,
मिले हम अपनी गति से,
एक तेरी थी, एक मेरी थी।

लय की बयार बहती, प्र-वृत्ति से,
एक तेरी थी, एक मेरी थी।
बहना–बहकाना संजोग़ था कैसे,
क्यों न कह दूं,
मिले हम अपनी ही लय से,
एक तेरी थी, एक मेरी थी।
