“When you face your fear, you become familiar with it and familiarity makes it lose its meaning, loosen its grip—fear ceases to be fear.”

“I had spent the day
friendless, lonely and sad,
a stranger to myself.
After drowning the day
on the sea shore,
I walked back
to my empty house
on the deserted street.
The moment
I opened the door,
the book on my table
flipped its pages
and said:
"Friend,
Where were you
for so long?”

“सामने आए मेरे, देखा मुझे, बात भी की
मुस्कुराए भी, पुरानी किसी पहचान की ख़ातिर
कल का अख़बार था, बस देख लिया, रख भी दिया
English Translation-
Met me, saw me, spoke with me
Smiled as well, for the sake of an old relationship
Yesterday's newspaper, seen and put aside”
― Selected Poems
