Shard

Everything in the universe is breakable. This is knowable, however, only to a conscious, feeling mind. For human beings most importantly, relationships, possessions, formidable attitudes assumed as unwavering, etc. etc.  All are breakable, and in their wake they bring unbearable pain, anger, hatred, grief, loss.

Hum kyon shikwa karein jootha

Kya hua jo dil toota

Sheeshe ka khilona tha

Kuchh na kuchh to hona tha, hua

 Can one complain

When the heart breaks

A toy made of glass

Something has to happen

It breaks

(Hindi lyric by Anand Bakshi)
