UNHE YEH EHSAAS HE NA THA
SHE HAD NOT AN INKLING

Ek aag thi hardum dehekti unmai

Jinki laptoon mein aa jaata tha

Woh har shaksh, jo pass se guzar jata tha,

Per unhe na thi iski koi khabar…



Aankhon mein angaaroon ki garmahat

Baatoe mein ek ajeeb si kashish

Chere pe woh maasoom bholapan tha

Per unhe kahan thi iss rangat ki khabar…



Woh toe thi haseeno se haseen

Aur kai anjaan dillon ki dhadkan

Apne jaddo ki pehchan kahan thi unhe

Na he apne uss roop ki kaddarr….



Bus unki deewangi, ek Un ke liye thi

Jo roshan kar deta tha unka jahan

Uss Ek ke elava kuch na tha unhe soojhta

Per, jhoolsa he jata tha kai deewaano ko jahan…



Per, uss deewani ko,

Deewangi mein

Deewanoon ka

Ehsaas he kahan tha…

 

 

A fire raged within her at all times

Within the flames of which were trapped

Those who ventured near or simply passed by

But, she had no inkling about this…



The embers glowed in her eyes

Sweetness flowed from her words

A strange innocence cloaked her face

But she was unaware of any of this…


She was more beautiful than most

And hearts throb of many unknown admirers

She had no idea of her own magic

No did she appreciate for her own beauty….


All her passions were for that one person

Who made her life aglow

Nothing mattered to her but him

Even while many hearts burned around her so…



But that dreamy girl

So besotted in love,

About those besotted lovers

Had not but an inkling…
