koi to hai
koi to hai,
jiska naam lene se
aankhen muskurane lagi hain,
gungunane lagi hai ye fiza
aur dhoop khil uthi hai sardi ki is saleti subah mein
koi to hai woh!
someone somewhere
There is someone
whose name makes eyes light up
the clouds part to give way to the sun
and the entire universe hums to the tune of her existence
yes, there is someone,
someone just like that in my life
