Sadiqullah Khan - After Many Years

After many years
I wish
I could meet you
An accidental meeting
In some remote area
In a house
A house in a mist
And a town with many boats
And water
A somber evening
And then suddenly I see you
Then we go to some corner
And talk for some hours
Where you will talk of certain things
That you have seen in life
And then tell me
That you knew that
I was in love with you too
And tell me that one day
When you had done up
Your beautiful hairs
And that when you were wearing
That dress of pure silk
With lots of handwork
Some embroidery in gold and silver
Needlework
When you will tell me
That
That evening
You had done all that
For me
And that you will tell me
So many other things of your past
Because that was your past alone
It could never have been our past
It remained yours alone
But still
That one evening
I wish you could say
That you had seen me
Standing there
