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')

These coasts west and east
Distances far albeit
In words, through words , with words we continue to meet
