Mistaken

You entered my life,
As I walked along,
A sparkle on the ground grabbed my attention,
It felt like perhaps I'm lucky,
Seemed so bright, its value must be remarkable,

But when I picked up the coin,
It turned out to be worthless, not even worth a single grain of sand.

.........

Tu aya tha meri zindagi mein,
Jaise main bahir chall rahi hu,
To zameen pe ek chammak ta sikka nazar aya,
Mehsoos hua jaise shayad main khush qismat hu,
Dekhne mein lagga ke itna chamkila sikka hai, iski to qeemat hi lajawaab hogi,

Jab sikke ko uthaya to patta challa,
Tu khotta sikka nikla, jiski qeemat mitti ke ek zarre ke berabar bhi nahi.
