Success
If someone stays well by forgetting me,
even that is rather my own success.
Being the reason for someone’s well-being is what matters,
whether they stay well by my side or by forgetting me.
Failure
Does a person lose for nothing?
Rather I am the one who does not know how to hold on to people.
Neither do I know how to love nor can I keep them well,
this time too I am a failure, but why would anyone stay with me?
Regret - 4
Only memories know,
how much I loved and spread flowers and sandalwood at the feet of the wrong person.
The days left behind also know,
how much beautiful time from life was wasted because of this one mistake.
Remorse
How much remorse I feel for myself.
How much remorse, I finished myself with my own hands.
Remorse, if only I had loved myself even a little as much as I loved you.
Familiar Pain
You are such a sorrow of mine called happiness,
which can never be told to anyone.
You are such a pain of mine,
which must be silently nurtured day and night.
You are such a familiar pain,
that even knowing you will burn me, I still look at you every day.
