It is healing I suppose

It bleeds sometimes but not like constantly before.
Pain is overcome by numbness but its still a little sore.

I see deep red wound but the wound is drying up though.
It still bleeds sometimes but not every time like before..

I can see realization seeping, piercing my inner core.
I want to speed up the process but it takes its own sweet time to repair..

The battle of heart and mind has at least come to a halt
Heart has finally started accepting what mind had been telling it since way back

It feels like death, death of something/someone very close
It takes time to gather pieces and then pick remnants of broken hope

Time is a healer I hear all say..
All I wish it worked faster so that all this is a passe and it hurts no more.

I know not

I know not what strength people are talking about,
All I know is there is no other option but to carry on.

I know not what they mean by good gets good,
All I know is I'm in a rut and it definitely does not feel good.

I know not when they say there is good in everything,
All I know is this has only given me problems since I know it.

I know not when they say you will find happiness,
All I know is its just a mythical concept one builds hope on it.

I am tired, I am exhausted, I want to unload.
take a little break from this chaos galore

But there is no breather no time you see,
This chase, this race, is not letting me be.

I know not where and when all this is going to end.
I hope that it does before my journey ends.

आशिक़

हम वो आशिक़ हैं जो बेइंतिहां प्यार कर बैठै,

दिल को कांटो के जंगल में यूं फसा बैठे 

ख्ता उनकी नहीं, मेरी है, है क़बूल मुझे,  

बेकद्र पर बिना सोंचे यूं जाँ लुटा बैठे .

इश्क़, मुहबब्त, प्यार, यार अंधा होता है ,

उसकी जीती झागती मिसाल वो हमे बना बैठे 

खुदी से ज़्यादा ऐतबार, बेवज़ा हम यार कर बैठे

जाने क्यूं, इंसान को खुदा का मान दे बैठे 

हम वो आशिक़ हैं जो बेइंतिहां प्यार कर बैठै,

दिल को कांटो के जंगल में यूं फसा बैठे
