You taunt me with a word.
I torture you with several.
You maul me with a brief silence,
I smother you with a longer spell.
You whiplash me with an act ignored,
I let loose an avalanche of icy inaction. . . .

Silence between us when you are away
gets pregnant with diffuse emotions,
silence with you warming my existence
cements the chinks in our togetherness
silence when abandoned metamorphoses
like a timeless . . .

You still stand at the window
straining your ears with unfocused eyes
humming a tune that always made me smile.

indolently lets the boorish wind
fondle its innermost niches. . . .

Silence can be a

and fell in love,
unclear but passionate

something seemed missing.
In my sunset years now
when the dust has settled
and starlight suffices,
that void has touched the sky . . .

Original in Urdu:
Yaad aapki kabhi gulistaan-ko
chhed-kar ithlaati havaasi maheen
khushboo ban-kar aati hai, toh kabhi
sar-phiré bavandar-si, nazook sitam dhaakar
yoon-hi achaanak mar jaanéka . . .

My gatherite friend Rajender Singh wrote this
beautiful nazm (seems like impromptu effort to me) as a comment on a previous post by me:
yu to koi aata nahi is wiran chaman me,

For my friends, Purvi and Nimesh, Mumbai, India.
Togetherness lends an unfathomable depth to a miracle called life
The bodiless soulless doppelganger silently fleshes up as a wife
Bland routines . . .
