Wanted nothing from this world as
I have a place in your heart
How could you accept someone like me,
Who is poorer by thoughts also
Helpless to return anything in any form
I am not deserved for your love also
I found someone like you in my life -
Who can not be reached even to my thoughts
Felt humiliated by always receiving from you
Wanted to give something in return
Listening silently to your voice -
Which left me speechless
A despondent in life,
Discarded by everyone,
Loved to sit in the darkness -
Which is more comforting
Hope came as a raising Sun in your form
Unable to see anything in that brightness
Felt liberated at your touch,
Hugged her to the bones
Only a sweet-kiss I can return
