As the night falls, the heart seems to become heavier with the weight of unsaid words. It often makes you wonder, where do all these unheard stories go? Do they disappear in the vastness of time, or do they find a home somewhere in the universe? It is an enigma that has puzzled us for ages. But perhaps, the beauty lies in the mystery itself. And speaking of beauty, bringing to you my latest #Ghazal 'Saari Raina'? It's a reflection of the unspoken emotions that we all experience at some point in our lives. You can listen to it on all music platforms. Get lost in the mesmerising music and let your heart pour out its deepest secrets. 'Saari Raina' available on all music platforms.

Your eyes could unveil them all, if only they gazed into mine. What's the purpose of this test my love, Those unsent letters you ponder, lingering, The tears you suppress, In your realm of reveries, Of melodic evenings and poetic recitals. I shall forever dwell in your dreams, And through your eyes, I shall listen. Restless nights of hearts entwined. #ClassicalIndianMusic #OriginalMusic #Poetry #Poem #Shayari #SingerSongwriter #CanberraMusician #IndianMusicianAustralia #indiansincanberra

Waiting... in the Wings spotlights behind my eyelids I see a beautiful rose in the sun as I reach out, it's no longer real waking up in empty spaces waiting waiting for my wings but then I get caught in the rain water seeps through the open wounds spiralling deep into the darkness floating... feather... my only vestige waiting, to be.. unraveled.. as you quickly learn to fan my flames found me a smile from those sweet memories warming up a cup of dreams little by little, I am whole again.
