milestones / sang e meel

milestones
rushing past markers
hazy, fading, lit
first smile, first day
destination 435 miles
first step, year one
highway cutoff 17 miles
first words, year two
construction next 10 miles
first swear words, year nine
detour two miles
'you know nothing,' year fifteen
rest stop 1 mile ahead
finally, home
but the destination
remains elusive

sang e meel
jeewan ki dauRR maiN sang e meel
kabhi wa'zeh, kabhi mubb'hum
lubouN per lehrati pehli moos'ku'rahat
manzil 435 meel
who pehla saal, pehla qadam
shahrah ka moRR, 17 meel
pyaray bol, saal doyem
marammat, aglay 10 meel
pehli gaali, saal-e-naham
mutabadil raasta, 2 meel
'aap logouN kou kuch maaloom hee nahin'
bachpun ka ikhtitaam, kum-suni ki ibtida
leeji'aye ghar aagaya
manzil rahi anqaa magar
