I have attempted an English remake of my Hindi poem ‘Ashiq’; crafted way back in my teens. I was in love; perhaps one-sided. By chance, I found this handwritten piece of paper dumped somewhere in my belongings. Through the ‘Artificial Intelligence’, whatever the critical appreciation; I like to share here.
