“Ek Kaash Tum Bhi Ho – Na-Mukammal Kahaani”/ “A Wish Called You – The Unfinished Story”;

Meri zindagi ke har “kaash” mein bas ek hi kami reh gayi…
Tum mile bhi nahi, aur phir bhi zindagi bhar ki kami ban gaye…

In every “what if” of my life, there is only one missing piece…
I never truly had you, yet you became my forever absence…

– Zulfikar Inamdar

Ek Kaash Tum Bhi Ho – Na-Mukammal Kahaani”

Arz kiya hai… ke…

Meri zindagi ke raaz mein ek raaz tum bhi ho,
Mere khwabon ke aasman mein ek chaand tum bhi ho,
Jo kabhi haath na aaye magar roshni deta rahe,
Mere andheron mein chamakta hua ek noor tum bhi ho…

Kabhi sochta hoon ke yeh jo sab kuch hai mere andar,
Yeh bechaini, yeh sukoon, yeh tanha si muskurahat,
In sab ke darmiyan jo ek khamosh si dastaan hai,
Us ankahe qisse ki pehchaan tum bhi ho…

Main lafzon mein kaise bayan karun tumhari ahmiyat,
Har alfaaz chhota lagta hai tumhare zikr ke aage,
Jaise samandar ko mutthi mein qaid karna ho,
Waise hi meri har koshish bekaar si lagti hai…

Magar phir bhi dil ke kisi kone se ek awaaz aati hai,
Ke meri har dhadkan ke darmiyan ek saaz tum bhi ho,
Jo kabhi sunayi nahi deta duniya ko,
Magar meri rooh har roz use mehsoos karti hai…

Tum kya ho mere liye, yeh kaifiyat samajh nahi aati,
Na tum meri ho, na main tumhara ho saka,
Phir bhi ek ajeeb sa rishta hai be-naam sa,
Jo na toot paata hai, na mukammal ho paata hai…

Kabhi lagta hai ke tum bas ek khayal ho,
Ek khwab ho jo aankhon ne dekha tha kabhi,
Lekin phir dil kehta hai ke nahi…
Tum woh haqeeqat ho jo naseeb ne adhoori chhod di…

Meri har khwahish ke intezaar mein ek aas tum bhi ho,
Har dua ke baad jo khamoshi rehti hai,
Us khamoshi mein chhupa hua ek jawab tum bhi ho,
Jo mil kar bhi na mil saka…

Aur jab raat gehri ho jaati hai,
Aur tanhaai apna rang dikhati hai,
Tab dil ke kisi kone se ek halki si sada aati hai,
Ke kaash waqt wapas mud jaata…

Kaash main tumhe keh paata jo kabhi keh na saka,
Kaash tum samajh paati jo main dikha na saka,
Kaash yeh fasla sirf doori hota, majboori na hoti,
Kaash humari kahaani adhoori na hoti…

Aur aaj bhi jab zindagi aage badhne ki baat karti hai,
Dil peeche mud kar bas itna kehta hai,
Ke jo kabhi mera ho na saka…
Us yaad ke har mod par ek ehsaas tum bhi ho…

Meri zindagi ke “kaash” mein ek kaash tum bhi ho…
Hamesha… aur har baar… sirf tum hi ho… 💔🌹

English Version:

“A Wish Called You – The Unfinished Story”

A request is…

Among the secrets of my life, there is one secret… you,
In the sky of my dreams, there is one moon… you,
The one I could never reach, yet you kept shining,
In all my darkness, there is a light… you…

Sometimes I wonder, whatever lives inside me,
This restlessness, this calm, this silent smile,
Between all of it, there’s an untold story,
And in that unspoken tale… there is you…

How do I ever explain what you mean to me?
Every word feels too small in front of your presence,
Like trying to hold an ocean in my hands,
Every attempt of mine feels helpless… incomplete…

Yet somewhere deep inside, a voice still whispers,
Between every beat of my heart, there is a rhythm… you,
The world may never hear it,
But my soul feels it… every single day…

What you are to me… I still fail to understand,
You were never mine, nor could I ever be yours,
Yet there exists a strange, nameless connection,
That neither breaks… nor becomes whole…

At times, I feel you were just a thought,
A dream my eyes once dared to see,
But then my heart reminds me softly…
You were a reality… that fate left incomplete…

In every waiting of my wishes, there is a hope… you,
In every silence after my prayers,
There hides an answer… you,
The one I almost found… yet somehow lost…

And when the nights grow deeper,
And loneliness starts to speak,
A faint whisper rises within me…
If only time could turn back…

If only I had said what I never could,
If only you had understood what I couldn’t show,
If only this distance was just miles, not destiny,
If only our story wasn’t left incomplete…

And even today, when life asks me to move on,
My heart quietly turns back and says,
The one who was never mine…
Lives in every memory… as you…

In every “what if” of my life,
There is one wish… and that wish is you…
Always… and forever… just you… 💔🌹
