We were two points
journeying in linear lines
our planes intersected
changing the course of direction!

Though the plan was to run parallel happily
life keeps changing shapes and relative distance
so now, sometimes we run in concentric circles
at others we are diametrically opposite!

We have run the entire gamut from being right angled to obtuse
encompassing various degrees of latitude
thankfully, we have struck balance and now
we exist peacefully venn diagrammed!

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #157

Leaning patterns in symmetry
A display of arranged beauty,
These half circles and tall scale
Do build our world in detail
As I look at the lines squared
I find my senses ensnared,
Leaning patterns in symmetry
A display of arranged beauty.

तेरी आँखों में डूब के देखा फिर भी
माप सका न तेरी गहराई फिर भी

रह नहीं सकते बिन हमारे एक पल
करते हो क्यों हमसे लड़ाई फिर भी

जब मालूम था अंज़ाम-ए-मुहब्बत
क्यों अपनी जान फसाई फिर भी

क्यों नहीं मिलती है रौशनी हमें
खुद घर में आग लगाई फिर भी

मालूम है वो हैं बेमुरव्वत “अमित”
देता है क्या उनकी दुहाई फिर भी
