Khuda (God)


Search for it and you shall never discover,
Call out loud and you won’t hear a 'hi',
Close your eyes and let the world slip by,
Amongst the cacophony, you shall listen to its whisper.

And you shall find it within you, as a part of you.


Fall for love and burn in pain,
      Break into pieces over and over again.
      In every void you will find it,
      In the darkest of the dark, you will see it lit.


Be deceived by the simplest of all,
Be patronized by one and all.
      In every clap and every laughter,
      You would feel its presence harbor.


Be kissed by failure,
      Be felicitated by triumph.
      In every moment, you will find it sear.
      In every wish you would find it persevere.


The time you were born,
       The time you would leave the body,
       It has been with you and will be for long,
      Accept it or Deny it, it is the sole truth to be.
