You Are Truly My Life Poem by Janid Kashmiri

Why do you keep so much sorrow in your heart, my love?
Why don't you understand my condition, my love?

I call you my life, it's not just a word
You are truly my life, my love

Why don't you believe in my love?
Why do you keep these questions in your heart, my love?

Every moment passes in thoughts of you
These nights of separation, this darkness is unparalleled, my love

Life is incomplete without you, understand this
My existence, my present is because of you, my love

Shaista, my life, you are only mine
Without you, Janid's name would fade away, my love
