Roshni kho rahi hai ab andheron ki gehrayion mein

Dil mein utha hai ek dard...

Zindagi se hai ek gila

Muskura ke dube suraj keh raha hai mujhse

'Uske bin jeeni hai jab zindagi,,,shukr kar...

...ek aur din dhal chala'

3:55 AM

him: I saw a building and a train moving on the tracks…not too fast…There were horses bolting besides the train. I don’t know why the horses were so damn slow …they just couldn’t outrun that stupid train…arghhh ! (grunts in a low voice)

her : And..

him: and…(jarring disturbance over the phone line)…and I saw you…standing there. Staring away at something invisible…non existing maybe…

her : hmmm…

him: hmm…I see the curve of your lip roll up into a smile. It hangs on your face for a long moment and then vanishes….then your face vanishes. You stay there but your face vanishes. It just does…how ? I just don’t know

her : (sighs, pauses and then yawns)

him: you must sleep…

her : (in a very low voice) no…please continue…what else did you see ?

him : There was dark scary lane…it seemed someone was inside it who didn’t seem scary but did not move…and…(hears a soft sigh on the other end of the phone)…you there ?

him : (hears another sigh and then mild snoring) Must be asleep (mumbles…and then sniffles) Good night… (follows with a sigh)

(Hangs up the phone. Turns over on his side. Stays awake )

‘Why were the horses so ridiculously slow ? ’
