‘Wo Apne Pankh Faila Sake’ poem is for those who have loved someone so deeply that you chose their happiness over your presence in their life. This poem is for those silent lovers-who held back their emotions just to let the one they loved grow, live freely, and spread their wings.
Sometimes, love doesn’t scream or beg to stay – it lets go, even when the heart is breaking. If you’ve ever sacrificed your feelings so someone else could find themselves, you’ll see a reflection of your own pain and strength in these words.
Because some love stories are not meant to be lived together – they’re meant to set someone free.

वो अपने पंख फ़ैला सके
उसके आंखों से लहू
बरस रहा था
वो अंदर अंदर ही
टूट रहा था।
वो चाह रहा था कि वो
उसके नाज़ुक वजूद को
क़ैद कर
अपने घायल दिल को सुकून दे दे
पर उस वक़्त उसे अपनी मोहब्बत
के ख़्वाबों को ज़िंदा रखना था
इसलिए उसे ये कह कर छोड़ दिया
कि अब उसे उससे मोहब्बत न रही
ताकि वो आज़ाद हो सके
अपने पंख फैला सके
वो खुदगर्ज़ बन गया
उसने मोहब्बत को चुना
