and nothing came of it

sakhi piya ko jo main na dekhun
to kaise kaaTuun andheri ratiyaan

aur phir umr guzar jaati hai
yakjaai mein
in a moment
the fabric of life can unravel
and it takes a lifetime
to weave it back together
moment, moments
scatter, disperse
warp and weft, fabric
life
pass through, spent
reweaving, reassembling
