मुद्दतें गुज़रीं तिरी याद भी आई न हमें

मुद्दतें गुज़रीं तिरी याद भी आई न हमें

और तुझे भूल गये हों कभी ऐसा भी नहीं

muddate.n guzrii.n tirii yaad bhii aa’ii nah hame.n 

aur tujhe bhuul gaye ho.n kabhi aisaa bhi nahii.n 

It has been such a long time since I thought of you

It isn't as if I had forgotten you all this while

फ़िराक़ गोरखपुरी

Oh my dear blog on poetry. I am guilty of not having posted here for some time. There are so many couplets I consider, but they do not make it to this blog. As Ghalib said 'sab kahaa.n kuchh laalaa o gul me.n numaayaa ho gayee'. 

My thoughts are beautifully expressed by Firaq Gorakhpurii. So took the opportunity to post this couplet here.
