(1)
We were two souls,
and our destinies were pre-destined,
Providence brought us together,
first on the social media,
and then on to our Nikaah night,
A rainy April Nikaah night;
(2)
Soon Spring would welcome us
as it does for lovebirds,
A love-slumber
would lull us into a trance – till dawn;
In all of these times –
We fought through the darkest nights,
and made love on the darkest nights;
(3)
Earlier –
No sooner had I seen her reflection on the mirror,
I realised –
The mirror didn’t have an error,
The moment I heard her voice for the first time,
I started looking for her,
not knowing how blind I was,
As –
True lovers don’t finally meet somewhere,
They are there – in each other, all along;
(4)
A decade has rolled over
since that rainy April Nikaah night,
That April Nikaah night,
Has now bore a fruit of love,
A fruit of love – soft and ripe,
Our little Naqaash has come to life.
