EIK BEEMAAR KI FARIYAAD!
A PATIENT SPEAKS!

Beemaari ki bistar pe humne

bitaayi apni saari raaton ko

Apne dil mein chupaaye

humne apni saari baaton ko

 

Na keh saki woh baat jo hum

kehne waalei thei

Na jaa saki wapas hum uss

ghar mein jahaan hum kabhi

rehne waalei thei

 

Aur koi chaara nahin tha mere

paas siwaaye duwa maangne ki

Duwa maangne ke liyeh humne

uthaayi apni dodno haaton ko

 

Zinda aag mein jalti rahin mein

Zameen par nahin sirf kaanton

pe chalti rahin mein

 

Bistar pe parei thei hum beemaari ki

haalat mein aur khirki pe nazar thi

humari saawan jhoom kar ke aaya

aur apne saath laayi ghum ki

bharsaaton ko

 

Koun thi woh?

Sach poochiyeh to woh khud Farishtah thi jis ki zindagi barbaad huyi hameishaa hameishaa ke lieyh

Aaj bhi uss ki zindagi barbaad hai aur kal bhi shaayad eisa hi raheiga

On the patient's bed I spent all my nights

I hid all my words in my heart

 

I couldn't say what I wanted to say

I couldn't go back to the house where

I once used to live

 

I had no other way other than to pray

for praying I folded my hands before god

 

I kept on burning in fire alive

I only walked on splinters

not the ground

 

I was lying in an ill condition on bed

and my eyes sight was on the window

the clouds came spinning and they brought

with them the rain of sorrows

 

Who was this person?

To tell you the truth it was Farishtah herself who went through all this and this might not go out of her life

Her life was ruined and it even is now and it might stay like that for ever and ever
