बन कर जुगनू
Bankar Jugnu …. by hecblogger
English translation in Comments section
जब रात होती है सबसे स्याह

हो चुका हूँ सपनों से आज़ाद
बन कर बंधन आती हो तुम

Reminders in small packs
He came down from the mountains as autumn aged, before the paths could pile with snow and the bridges bowed with ice. It was a transition from one world to another – he had to find new companions before hearts froze again. It took a long time to ignite the flame in closed confines, and … Continue reading Reminders in small packs
