Within the Soul's Expanse

In the inner sky, a boundless domain, 

Clouds of thought drift by, ever-changing and vain. 

Planets of passion ignite and then fade, 

Stars of ambition rise, their brilliance displayed.

Yet the vastness persists, a canvas so grand, 

Untouched by the dramas that play at hand. 

For I am the witness, the soul that observes, 

Not the fleeting thoughts that the inner world serves.

I see feelings arise, a tempestuous sea, 

Desires and fears in a constant display. 

Dreams take flight, like birds on the breeze, 

But I am the sky, not the leaves in the trees.

Striving for stillness, a silence profound, 

I yearn to see what lies beyond, unconstrained, unbound. 

But in the void's echo, a truth comes to light, 

The observer is present, distinct from the night.

The "I" that remains, though the world may depart, 

Holds the potential for a brand new start. 

For in the vast emptiness, a promise takes hold, 

A story unwritten, waiting to unfold.

"जिस तन लगया इश्क़ कमाल, वो नाचे बे सुर बे ताल"
