left holding the bag

left holding the bag
for ab's loss
after the ephemeral sun has set
the transient thoughts turn transeunt
we are left
...................all alone
with our bag of gems and stones
collected with forethought
from friends, strangers,
from places and times gone by
now we feel the bag again
to extract that soothing paste

joos'tu'joo qaraar ki, sukoon ki
kahin say bhee kuch chainn aa'aye
lakin fasurdgi kay bhaNwar say
nikalna aasaaN nahiN

another day, another loss
and forced we're to probe that bag
....................again
that soothing balm
....................relearning
only time heals, yet
we abandon not our search
such is our ordained fate friend
