Main Kyon Tujhe Yaad Karta Hoon

23-Feb-2019

This poem starts with me wondering why I can't move on from her memories and thoughts even though I have moved on. I have accepted the reality that she's not interested in me and she does not reciprocate the same feelings I have for her. The poem ends with me being hopeful that I will meet someone again who will reignite that spark.

Main kyon tujhe yaad karta hoon

Kyon apni aankhien bharta hoon,

Tujhe bhula tau chuka hoon main

Phir kyon teri baatien leke roz jagta hoon,

Kaali raaton mein bhi tera sawera hai

Mera dil tere bin bilkul akela hai,

Yeh kaisi tishnagi si hai

Ajab si bekhudi si hai,

Tera hona tau chahta hoon

Tujh mein khona bhi chahta hoon

Par khud ko yehi samjhata hoon

Tu kahan mujh mein khona chahti hai

Tu kahan meri bhi hona chahti hai,

Is sachai ko jaanlia hai Maine

Tu meri nahi hai yeh maanliya hai Maine,

Ab afsos nahi hai tujhe khone ka

Bas bharosa hai kuch naya paane ka,

Ek sandali si subah aayegi

Aur mere dil ko waapis jagah jaayegi.
