kabhi jaagti hui un raaton me

aur un sard shaamo me,

jab teri surat taswwur me jhilmila uth ti hai

rukhe hue kuchh aramono ko

dekhe hai.n ham ne hausale parvar-digaar ke

-ghalib-

why did i dropped the treasure
returned home empty handed
when i knew that's all i always wanted
since very begining
i longed for years
couldnt imagine life without it
and now, i am living
without
