Sad Shayari

The night is long, and so is my wait,
Some goodbyes arrive before it is too late.

Raat lambi hai, mera intezar bhi lamba hai,
Kuch alvida waqt se pehle aa jata hai.

I smiled all day so no one would know,
The heart can break and still not show.

Din bhar muskuraya taake koi jaan na sake,
Dil toot bhi jaye to dikhai nahi deta.

Empty chairs and a silent phone,
Some lessons are learned all alone.

Khali kursi aur khamosh phone,
Kuch sabak akele hi seekhe jate hain.

Tears fall quiet when the world sleeps,
Pain is a secret the heart keeps.

Aansoo chup chaap girte hain jab duniya soti hai,
Dard woh raaz hai jo dil chhupata hai.

I kept your words, you kept your way,
Some people leave, their echoes stay.

Tumhari baatein sambhali, tum apni raah chale gaye,
Kuch log chale jate hain, unki goonj reh jati hai.

The rain knows what I cannot say,
It falls for me on a cloudy day.

Baarish janti hai jo main keh nahi sakta,
Woh mere liye barasti hai badal wale din.

Hope wore thin, the light grew small,
I gave my best, and that was all.

Umeed kamzor thi, roshni chhoti ho gayi,
Maine apna behtareen diya, bas yahi tha.

Broken dreams on a midnight floor,
I pick them up and dream once more.

Toote khwab aadhi raat ke farsh par,
Main unhe uthata hoon aur phir khwab dekhta hoon.

You were my song, now just a tune,
Humming alone beneath the moon.

Tum mera geet thi, ab sirf ek dhun ho,
Chand ke neeche akela gungunata hoon.

Some wounds heal, some only hide,
I carry mine with quiet pride.

Kuch zakham bharte hain, kuch sirf chhupte hain,
Main apne zakham khamosh fakhar se uthata hoon.

The clock moves on, the heart stays back,
Lost on a road with no way back.

Ghadi chalti rehti hai, dil peeche reh jata hai,
Ek aisi raah par khoya jahan wapsi nahi.

I write your name and then erase,
Some love lives only in empty space.

Tumhara naam likhta hoon phir mita deta hoon,
Kuch mohabbat sirf khali jagah mein rehti hai.

The stars went dim, the moon turned pale,
My heart still reads your old farewell.

Sitare madham, chand peela ho gaya,
Mera dil tumhara purana alvida padhta hai.

I hold your shadow in an empty room,
The silence there still smells of you.

Khali kamre mein tumhara saaya pakda hai,
Wahan ki khamoshi mein ab bhi tumhari khushboo hai.

My phone lights up, it is not you,
Hope is a habit hard to undo.

Phone jalta hai, tum nahi ho,
Umeed ek aadat hai jo chhut ti nahi.

I laughed today, the pain stayed near,
Some smiles are only what they appear.

Aaj hans diya, dard phir bhi paas tha,
Kuch muskurahatein sirf dikhawa hoti hain.
