A beautiful piece of poetry by Perveen Shakir...

hamaare daramiyaan aisaa koyee rishtaa nahin thaa
tere shaanon pe koyee chhat nahin thi
mere zimme koyee aangan nahin thaa
koyee vaadaa terii zanjiir-e-paa banane nahin paayaa
kisii iqaraar ne merii kalaai ko nahin thaamaa
havaa-e-dasht ki maanind
tuu aazaad thaa
raaste teri marzi ke tabe the
mujhe bhii apani tanhaayee pe
dekhaa jaaye to
puraa tasarruf thaa
magar jab aaj tuu ne
raastaa badalaa
to kuchh aisaa lagaa mujh ko
ke jaise tu ne mujh se bevafaayee ki


********"you said you didn't want to see me get hurt..?! So does that mean you closed your eyes when I cried??"**********
