Remain as I am

...every one of 'em words rang true
And glowed like burning coal...

Khamosh sa afsana,
Paani se likha hota
Na tumne kaha hota,
Na humne suna hota
Khamosh sa afsana...

You shouldn't have said it. If you had to, you should have written it down. And used water for ink. A story never really penned...untold from your side, unheard from mine.

Dil ki baat na puchho,
Dil toh aata rahega
Dil behekata raha hai,
Dil behekata rahega
Dil ko tumne,
Kuchh samjhaya hota...

Don't fuss too much over a heart, it doesn't have a clue. It's been known to lead people into pickles and it's incorrigible. Perhaps if you had been around though, you might have been able to talk it down.

Sehme se rehte hai,
Jab yeh din dhalta hai
Ek diya bujhta hai,
Ek diya jalta hai
Tumne koi,
Deep jalaaya hota

Admittedly, it gets a little scary after dark. Some lamps do light up here and there, but others keep dimming out. If you were around, may be the lamps would just stay lit...

Kitne saahil dhoondey,
Koi na samne aaya
Jab majdhar mein doobey,
Saahil thaamne aaya
Tumne saahil
Pehle bichhaya hota

I needed a rock to hang on to, but I would even have grasped at a straw. Neither was to be found, though. And just as I was being devoured by the whirlpool, a monolith threw me a rope! It could not have been you; I like to think you'd have reached out much sooner...

Khamosh sa afsana,
Paani se likha hota
Na tumne kaha hota,
Na humne suna hota
Khamosh sa afsana...

If you couldn't let it lie, you really should have just written it down with water. And let it remain a non-story...unsaid, unheard, therefore unhappened.
