"Shall I dare to house you inside all my verse,

Shall I dare to steal you from your own universe?

This meeting - a blessing, though born in a dream,

Shall I speak what my heart truly longs to redeem?

If not tonight, perhaps years will pass us by,

Shall I call you closer while the night is still nigh?

After ages it feels the moon has come near,

Shall I whisper your name for the heavens to hear?

All my treasure - just one wish I couldn’t complete,

Shall I place it in your name, made whole at your feet?"

"For that someone like me, for whom the search still remains,

I think of surrendering myself, yet love for life still sustains.

​I ask the wandering winds, where is it they lead me today?

Or perhaps toward some storm, they lure me and lead me astray?

​He asks, "Have you not yet lost yourself in someone's soul?"

"No matter," he says, "to keep this longing is no sin, it keeps you whole."

​I wonder if a flower will ever bloom within this garden's grace,

Will I find someone to write the tales of love I long to trace?

​Khizer is not without hope, though restless he may seem,

To have guarded my passion this long—that is my pride, my dream."

Alone I sit, the shadows cling, my weary soul needs something to drink.

The silence hums, my heart does sink, I long for warmth, a fleeting link.

I wish you hadn’t kept her quite so rare,

For when a life is lost, only longing stays there.

Had her shadow not lingered deep in my heart,

I’d never have saved love as something set apart.

The wish to meet you still breathes, quietly true_

Had you died back then, I’d have let go of you too.

A single dream has chased my sleep away_

If this were you, would you survive the day?

What if one simply died, and peace was found,

If the madness to possess you hit the ground?

If love remained_or quietly disappeared_

Had forgetting you been easy to achieve,

the heavens today would bow beneath my feet.

Even love’s own meaning would not linger here.

So what if one just died, and let it be?

The flood that ruined my heart’s garden free

Might never find its way again to me.
