when I went up and down the stairs
I stopped midway
and looked into the letterbox
where I found only cobwebs
and I wondered why
my heart always sank
and then I thought that somewhere
there was another letterbox
with someone looking into it
and not finding my letter
and feeling as disappointed
as I did
and saddened
as I was
***
As I grew up
I learned to give
before I took
except unhappiness
sadness
depression
which were mine
and mine alone
not to be shared
but that could not be
cannot be
(written in 1956)

...Dard Hai Saari Zindagi
Jiskaa Koyi Silaa Nahin
Dil Ko Fareb Dijiye
Aur Ye Hauslaa Nahin
Aur Ye Hauslaa Nahin
Khud Se To Badgumaan Na Ho
Khud Pe To Aitabaar Kar
Subah Zaroor Aayegi
Subah Ka Intazaar Kar
Gam Kii Andheri Raat Mein
Dil ko na beqaraar kar
Subah Zaroor Aayegi
Subah Ka Intazaar Kar...
