In the Quiet, I Stayed

I spoke no word as the winds passed by, Just watched the clouds rewrite the sky. Not every ache needs voice or name — Some hearts burn soft, like candle flame.

I loved you not with storm or scream, But in the hush of every dream. No plea, no fight, no grand parade — Just hope that lingered, then gently frayed.

The world moved on — it always will, But some of us are standing still. Not weak, not lost — just deeply made To love, to feel... In the quiet, I stayed.

Almost Love

I loved you in silence, In pauses, In spaces you never noticed.

You smiled at the world, I smiled at you.

You never noticed the chair that stayed empty, In dreams I dressed for two.

I never asked for anything— But still, You took everything Without ever knowing.

Without You

I still remember your tender smile— I hadn't yet learned to breathe without you. Our love remained a half-spoken verse, Yet the sorrow arrived in full. Since you've gone, this heart grieves even in joy, Wounds run deep— But where is the balm to soothe them? The letters you once sent, I still hold close, Laced with your love, And promises that faded into empty words. A single moment of your laughter Gifted me grief for a lifetime. You slipped away like sand between fingers, While loneliness rose like a wave—and stayed. No complaint remains for you, No blame lingers within me— Only an aching, hollow heart, And your words… still unfinished.

(English ver. of Tere Bina)

Tere Bina

Roz yaad aati hai, teri uss muskurahat ki, Jeena sikhā nahī̃ thā abhi tere binā. Mohabbat adhoori thi, sanam, Sazā milī poori thi.

Tere jaane ke baad yeh dil har khushi se gila hai, Zakhm to bohot hain, Par un par marham kahaan hai?

Tere bheje hue wo khat jo sambhāle hue hain maine abhi tak, Jin mein chhupā tha tera pyaar, Aur vaade... jo sirf alfaaz hi reh gaye.

Ek pal ki teri woh hansi, Mujhe umr bhar ka gham de gayi. Tu to ret ban chala gaya, Tanhāi lehr ban kar chhā gayi.

Na shikāyat hai tujh se, Na gila khud se koi hai, Bas ek khāli sa dil hai, Aur teri bāatein adhoori hain.
