Translation of "Rehte ho Tum..."

Translation of my poem "Rehte ho Tum..."

You dwell in my eyes,

Like a waiting dream.

Lovely and memorable,
As if an evening.

When the winds become moist like dew,

You fall in my tears, I tell you.

Come light up my days,

Like sun in the dawn.

Shower the desert of my heart,

Like the cool drops of rain.

Intoxicate my senses,

Like a drug no other.

Become mine,

As if you are me.

And I shall become You,

As if I were You.

Like a wish in the silence,

Like a prayer in the noises,

A colour in colours like turquoise,

Beating of the heart so melodious,

Breath as if sweetly scented,

And heart filled with your love.

In the Loneliness......

In the Loneliness of the quiet......

I remain enclosed sometimes.......



Hardly noticing the speed of time......

Just freezing to live on my life........



Coughing over the coldness of the world.....

I remember some words untold.......



Sometimes crippled, sometimes rippled.....

And sometimes laziness colliding inside.....



From the windows, I watch.....

The waters falling down in drops.....



Drop by drop each one falls...

And collect on the ground......



This is how day by day.......

Life gathers moments and stays......



Stays in the backyard.....

Backyard of memories.....



Where sometimes I wander restlessly.....

Alone.........



Alone to gather the moments......

That I have lost......



Just like sand.....

They slip out of my hands.....



And I sit in that lonely desert.....

For this mirage to be over......



I see some happiness.....

Far away but beyond reach.....



But I continue to fall.....

And emerge again on my knees.....



Holding on to walk again......

And make my way out of this graveyard......
