Hereafter if we part

Hereafter if we part, in dreams shall we meet
Like a flower, dried in the pages of a book so neat

Amongst the people unfortunate, seek the gem that’s yours
A jewel that only, in depths of tragedy shall you meet

You are not an angel, nary my love so noble
Mere humans are we, why the veil when we meet?

Pour life’s tragedies into the tragedies of love,
Heady is the glass, where two intoxicants meet

Neither am I what you see nor are you what you seem,
Like two shadows, in the mirage shall we meet.

~ Ahmed Faraz ('Ab ke hum bichde')
