lafz, mausiki,
shayari, bariki,
school, padhai,
yadein, tanhai,
bachpan, jawani,
khwab, kahani,
aur ek lamba sa khat
aur ek choti si judai
kya kya nahi hota tha un khaton mein,
poori duniya simat aati thi un palon mein
aaj laga,
kitne chote the woh khat
kitni badi hai yeh judai
aaj subah, uske wohi khat yaad aye
and translated for starry & others, flawed as always.
could somebody help me with this? pheebes? hagrid?
words, rhythm
poetry, depth
school, studies
memories, loneliness
childhood, youth
dreams, stories
and one more long letter, one more little separation
what not was there in those letters, a whole world used to converge in those moments
today, it felt
how small were those letters, how big is this separation
today morning, those letters of her were remembered
