“As the wind bears the leaves aloft, In the gentle evening light, the day goes soft, The end approaches with a tender pace. Swallows trace their final flight, Shadows lengthen, time slips by in quiet light, A growing longing in the human race. Like the lilac by the garden's side, Silent eternity bends wide, Reaching down to the cool earth’s place. In this stillness, spreading clear, Summer lingers briefly here, Before it goes away with you.”

“Khamoshi se matlab nahi, matlab baato se hain Din toh guzar hi jaaenge, masla raato se hain Literal Translation It's not the silence that matters; it's the words that do. Days will pass by anyway, but the issue lies with the nights. Here, the poet suggests that while life moves on, it's the words we long to hear—the meaningful connections—that truly impact us. Days may be busy and fleeting, but in the quiet of the night, emotions and unresolved thoughts resurface, intensifying the absence of those connections.”
