I love You..

"I just want to say I love you,
In your words, and in your language.

I knew "I love you" in English was very meaningful,
My promise of "Main tumse pyar karta hoon" in Hindi
was relevant,
I tried to reach your heart with "Ami tomake bhalo
bashi" in Bengali,
I wished "Mujhe tumhare mohabbat ki arzoo hai" often
in Urdu.

Learning Bengali and Gujarati was a breeze,
Now I am stuck with Urdu and Punjabi learning books,
I am confused with similar alphabets in Punjabi,
Urdu sounds sweet, but all the alphabets seem so new.

I read all the books on national integration language
series,
I think I mastered the books with the bilingual help,
But still I can't convey my message, "Mai taunu pyar
karda" in Punjabi,
Still I wish I can write "Hoo thunay prem karoo choo"
to my heart throb in Gujarati.

I may not be good in conveying my loving message in
your language,
But I am enlightened with the deep meaning of love,
In the original works of Tagore, Faiz, Batalvi, Mirabai and Verma,
I guess real love does not require a language to
convey,
When we meet and when you smile, I think message has
been conveyed.
