Ode to Farewell...

Thy keep gazing at the blue sky

Though thy have forgotten how to fly

Maybe thee learnt to mask a little truth

But have not yet learnt how to say a lie

Feathery clouds leave me in a delusion

Every moment looks as if it is an illusion

Thou got the words to light the lamp of eternity

And can take me to ‘the real’ and end the confusion

My bags are packed to leave for good

For I know what I’m doing and what I should

Every time you spoke, your words were heard

Never were your tales ever misunderstood

Baby! It’s hard to fly with a broken wing

When the ache in heart, hurts like a sting

But I need to go for you want to be alone

Leaving behind a song, that for you I’d sing.

Akhtar!
