To my Brighest star !!

For my Kaka,

who became my loving father and now my guardian angel.

6 months today.

Kaha Chala gaya wo tara banne

Keh raha tha saari zindagi sath bitayenge

Khud chala gaya sitaro ke bich mein

Kash aaj wo hota, dhup bhi lagti saaye tale

Par isne toh dhoop mein hi saya dhundna sikha diya

Jitne din bitaye sath lagta tha masoom sa hai,

kuch gam chupa raha hai, aur hume khushi de raha hai,

par usse kya pata uske jane se hi sabse jyada gum mehsoos hua

Aasman mein jitne sitare hai, wo hai hamara sabse pyaara,

kabhi ata hai suraj ki kirno mein

kabhi chand ke chandiyo mein

ya kabhi khud alag rango mein indradhanush banke

Ab usko ye kon bolega wo tha? Tab zindagi indradhanush si lagti thi.

aur uske janese aisa mehsoos hota hai shayad wo apne sath saare rang leke gaya

Kal shayad hum has le khush reh le, zindagi ka safar badte rahega,

par hamare zindagi ke sathi ke bina wo zindagi hi kya

Keh raha tha kuch bada kar dunga, khud ban gaya sabse chamkila sitara.

Kash hum usse ye keh pate, Hum usse kitna pyaar karte hai.

Chalo, ek din wo zaroor milega jab hum banne jayenge ek sitara.

Jab sitaro ke bich hum kho jayenge, tab wo dikhega hume hamara sabse khusurat sitara Aur tab shayad hum saari zindagi ek sath bitayenge jaise usne aur humne socha tha.

The English translation

Where did he go to become a star?

He said we would spend our whole life together.

and he himself went to live among the stars.

I wish he were here today—even the sunlight would feel like shade.

But instead, he taught me how to find shade within the sunlight.

All the days we spent together, he seemed so innocent, hiding his own sorrows while giving us happiness.

Little did he know that his leaving would become our greatest pain.

Among all the stars in the sky, he is our most beloved.

Sometimes he appears in the rays of the sun.

sometimes in the glow of the moon,

and sometimes as a rainbow of colors.

Who will tell him that when he was here, life felt like a rainbow?

And now it feels like he took all the colors with him?

Maybe tomorrow we will laugh again and move forward in life.

But what is life without the one who was our companion?

He said he would do something big—and became the brightest star of all.

I wish we had told him how much we loved him.

Maybe one day we will meet again when we too become stars.

And among the stars, we will find him—our most beautiful one. And maybe then, we will finally spend forever together, just like we once dreamed.

Me & My Kaka

For anyone who has ever loved and lost.

With Love always,

Bhagyashree
