"the end"

From all the rest I single out you,
having a message for you,

You are to die-let others tell you what they please,
I cannot prevaricate,

I am exact and merciless,
but I love you-there is no escape for you.

Softly I lay my right hand upon you,
you just feel it,I do not argue,

I bend my head close and half envelop it,
I sit quietly by, I remain faithful,

I sit quietly by, I remain faithful,
I am more than nurse,more than parent or neighbor,

I absolve you from all except yourself spiritual bodily,
that is eternal, you yourself will surely escape,
The corpse you will leave will be but excrementitous...

The sun burst through in unlooked for directions,
Strong thoughts fill you and confidence, you smile,
You forget you are sick,
as I forget you are sick,
You do not see the medicines,
you do not mind the weeping friends,

I am with you,
I exclude others from you,
there is nothing to be commiserated,
I do not commiserate, I congratulate you....

Aarzoo

aik aarzoo hai
aik khuwahish
aik chaah rakhta hoon
apnay dil mein, is jism mein

aik khushi chahta hoon
aik dharakti kiran ka talabgar hoon
sun rahay ho na?
tum kyun sunoh gay.

tum ne apnay waday torhay
tum ne apni haqeeqatoun ko jhoot qaraar deeya
tum ne apnay mureedoun ko dhoka deeya
tum meri kiya suno gay?
tum toh khud aarzoo rakhtay ho.

tum Khuda ki baatein kero
mein Khudai ki baatein kerta hoon.
Aik far'q hai, aik choti si tabdeeli.
aur tum kiya jano.

tum hee toh ho.
tum hee thay na?
jab na waqt tha na arz?
tum hee ho gay na?
jab na waqt ho ga na arzoo?
na sub'h, na raat ki woh tareeki, woh ghuttan?
tum hee toh ho.
ho na?
