Sher on Dil

Reading these verses,

you would pass through various states that the human heart takes us through. You would wonder how these verses written by others are indeed the true voice of our own feelings. They seem to express our own desires and passion, sadness and deprivation, as also our experience of separation in the midst of an elusive hope for union.

what else is there now for me to view

I have experienced being in love with you
