Yesterday I burnt my shadow,
Now there is nothing that creeps beside me,
Finally there is peace inside me,
Its shrieks were lost in furnace bellow.
In infernal flames I thrust myself,
It fused my guts and charred my bone,
I traveled on pyre to liberty,
Now, elevated, I walk alone.
“Jala hai jism jahan dil bhi jal gaya hoga Kuredte ho raakh aarzoo kya hai?”

Wish I had that same mastery with expressing thoughts so lucidly...
@ killprof_achilles: You are too generous to call my humble efforts masterly. Thanks :)
In infernal flames I thrust myself,
In restless dreams, I walked alone.
Hello darkness, my old friend, here I come to talk to you again....
What if my dreams coincide with yours?
You will no more be alone :)
So, you still haven't figured out whose lines these were! Ha?

I had a hunch, now I know :)
