hey you,
the one with
the dark hair
the brown eyes
the shy smile,
yes you.
you're the one,
and the only.

your dark hair
is one of a kind.
it cannot be compared
to anything except
the colour of
my dadi's best کمبل
that coffee-coloured کمبل
is what i
have cocooned myself into
too many times
to count.
that coffee-coloured کمبل
feels like a compact version
of home.
the one
and the only.

your brown eyes
where do i begin?
your brown eyes
are like your dark hair;
they are
one of a kind.
the only thing
that can be likened
with those eyes,
is an آئینه
constantly changing
colours forms emotions.
sometimes dark
sometimes light,
each reflecting different emotions
sometimes twinkling with
A glint of mischief,
but mostly hidden.

your smile.
your smile is
bashful yet radiant.
your smile is نایاب
revealed only to those
deemed worthy
of it.
your smile
is the cause of
many a جستجو
but when found,
is worth all the کوشش
because your smile
is the one
and the only.
