We should learn to liberate the tears imprisoned in our agonized hearts- Mujeeb Jaihoon on relieving pain

As hard as mountains
It may harden

As dark as night
It may blacken

As sharp as sword
It may hurt

As ruthless as hell
It may burn

As it loses touch
With the real Possessor

Fall, if you can,
Into the arms of a lover

And break free the flood
of innocent tears
Captive’d for long
in the eye-reservoir

And then that poor thing
Called the Heart
Will return to its
Quintessential state
