Intimate twilights

Those quaint intimate twilights of yore
have not faded away in the mist of time
She is as close to me as she ever was

Those hidden thoughts within downcast eyes
A charm carried even in suppressed smiles
I used to wonder if my thoughts occupied her
And if they did, did they bring her any cheer

But now I know of bubbling mirth
beneath those suppressed smiles
I know of that latent passion
behind those downcast eyes

Oh! sure I am that she thinks only of me
And sooner than later, she will be mine.

My hats off to Gulzar...In hundred births, I cant equal his profound imagination, his subtlety of expression!
