Poem

Tangled Web of a Million Desires

एक ख्वाहिश मेरी आज पूरी हुईं
इस गुफ़्तगू भी अजीब सी हो गयी
ऐ ख़ुदा एक तो तमन्ना मेरी पूरी हुई
मगर सौ दास्तान अब अधूरी बन गयी
Ek khwaish meri āj pūri hui
Is guftagū bi ajēb see ho gayē
Ay khuda ek tamanna tho meri pūri hui
Magar sau dastaan ab adhōri ban gayē

One urge of mine was fulfilled today;

our conversation, it was most wondrous!

O Lord, one wish of mine has been fulfilled,

yet a million stories lay smothered unsaid.
