Something written straight from my heart, for the person I love.

For when you cannot look at them the way your heart sees them.

When your eyes ache for them, your heart reaches for them, and somehow, your entire existence quietly yearns for their presence.

There is so much you want to tell them, but you don’t know how. And somewhere inside, there is this fear that even if you found the courage to say it all, they still might never understand the depth of what you feel.

So you ask for nothing.

No promises.
No answers.
Not even for them to love you the same way.

You just want a little more time to look at them.

To have them close enough for your eyes to hold what your words never could.

Not because you want anything from them.

Simply because you are in love with them.

And sometimes, when you love someone that deeply, looking at them feels like the closest thing to holding them.

देख सकूं तुझे बिना किसी के पहरे के

इतना सुकून चाहिए

देख सकूं तुझे बिना किसी पहरे के

इतना वक्त चाहिए

और देख सकूं तुझे बिना पहरे के

इतना मुझे हक चाहिए

कि तेरी नजरों से मेरी नजरें मिले तो

उसमें चाहत का पैगाम हो

कि तेरी नजरें मिले मेरी नजरों से तो उसमें

रूह की वो बात हो

जो लफ्जों से न की जा सकें बयां

ऐसी एक खुदगर्ज रात हो

कि मिले जब तेरी नजरें मेरी नजरों से तो

एक आस हो कि तुम मेरे हो मेरे खास हो

कि देखूं जब तुम्हें मैं

तो किसी का पहरा न हो

एक दिलकशीं रात हो,

सिर्फ तुम मेरे हो और मेरे बहुत पास हो

न देखे कोई मुझे तुम्हें देखते हुए, न देखो तुम मुझे तुम्हें देखते हुए

बस देखती रहूं तुम्हें

न तुम्हें ये एहसास हो

न तुम्हारा पहरा हो, बस एक बात हो

कि देखूं तुम्हें बिना पहरे के

जितनी देर तक मेरी सांस हो

मेरी आखिरी सांस हो….
