Zakhm

कुछ पल के लिए हम भी थे रुके, 
पीछे मुड उन निगाहों का;
आगाज़ ज़रुरी सा जैसे हो उठा |
पर वो न ठहरे हुए थे वहाँ|
कम्बख्त दिल में,  
जो वो रुबरु होने की, 
इक चाह मचल गई थी | 
फिर दर्द सा उठा और, 
वो एक और ज़ख्म तौफे में,
हमारे बिन कहे ही छोड गए |
************************
For ephemeral moment i stopped,
to look back in those eyes,
was so intense a urge.
But he was not waiting there.
Crazy heart had that, 
reeling glances desire.
Again a pain resurrected,
and he left me a gift of wound,
without my need to ask.

The pain in the words is even reflected in the picture...
"कम्बख्त दिल में,
