Yahan: this unvisited body

I didn't know what this prompt meant,
So, I asked ChatGPT.
It said some interesting things,
But it wasn't really what the prompt meant.

I searched on Google, then.
It was much better and pulled the lines,
from some nook of the internet,
that I had not seen before.

It showed me a post from [@alyaza](https://cohost.org/alyaza/post/1562201-ab-yahan-koi-nahi),
Showed her cohost post,
She had a quote in that post,
Another poem from an anthology.

For me, yahan is here.
wahan is there.
And the whole wide world, is in between
yahan and wahan.
