count / ginti

count
measured are our breaths
catalogued and sealed
when these seals are cracked
the moments would have faded
--inhaling and exhaling
will cease and
the countdown will begin anew
this tale eternal will be repeated
again and again

ginti
ginti ki haiN apni saaNsaiN
lagi hay mohraiN in saansouN per
mohraiN jub tootaiNgee
lamhay yeh beet chukay houNgay
saansouN ka yeh aana jaana
rook jaa'ye gaa
aur ginti chund saansouN ki
azz sar-e-nau hogi
azli yeh kahani abdi anjaam talak
dohra'i jaa-aye gi
