The fire

Photo credit: Myself!

ये इश्क नहीं आसां , इतना तो समझ लीजिये
एक आग का दरिया है , और डूब के जाना है
- जिगर मोरादाबादी
 
There is a fire deep inside my heart -
A fire that heals me though it burns me.
As you walked in, I hoped it would douse,
Only to realize, healing entailed burning to ashes!
