More Shayari by Sahir Ludhianvi
A moment or two is my story,
A moment or two is my existence,
A moment or two is my youth.
Before me, how many poets came,
Came and then went away,
Some left with sighs on their lips,
Some sang their songs and went on their way.❞
None will understand if you try to explain until death.
Just keep on living and keep on smiling along the way,
This itself is the story of life throughout the day.❞
Let me hold no hope of you, let you see no faith from my core.
Do not swear to understand my pain today,
Have no intention to give me your grief's sway.❞
But this pain belongs to years that have been.
On paper I will write out everything,
But whose wound is this that I am bearing.❞
that you were made for me alone.
Before this, you lived among the stars somewhere,
you were called to earth for me.❞
Let me hold no hope of you in my heart,
And let you not look at me with that wrong intent.❞
