How does one celebrate a birthday?
Should I tell myself
It’s all an abnormally prolonged dream
And that reality only exists
On the other side of it
Should I feel sad
That all my previous selves
Are going to be just a footnote
To my present self
Should I remember
All my sins
And repent hopelessly
To atone for what is left of me
Should I reminisce
My glorious moments
And find pernicious peace
In the collective
Of imagined happiness
Or should I forget
That I’m inseparably entangled
To every living and non-living being
In this universe
Orbiting the empty void within
I don’t know
How to celebrate
This inevitable periodicity
Of my insatiable life
But let me not bother tonight
Let me find myself
A night full of fantasies
Kyunki aksar yun hua hai
Ki khayaalon mai
Woh sab hua hai
Jo haqeeqat mai nahi hota..
