How I wish...


PC: Myself!!
"तुम इतना जो मुस्कुरा रहे हो, क्या गम है जिसको छुपा रहे हो 
आँखों में नमी, हँसी लबों पर, क्या हाल है, क्या दिखा रहे हो"
- कैफी आझमी 
(That you are smiling so much, What pain is it that you are hiding?
Moisture in the eyes, smile on the lips, What state is it, what are you depicting?)


Dear friend, When you casually call me up on a rainy night
And as you ask me of my well being and assure you are fine,
How I wish my heart was deaf to your voice that trembled.
As you blabber of the joy and prosperity that fills your life,
How I wish my brain was dumb to believe all that you said.
As you laugh out loud on a silly joke that made no sense,
 
How I wish my ears were blind to the tears in your eyes.
As your soul cried out in despair and shared it all unsaid,
How I wish my soul could soothe & listen to your psyche.
