Entrapping Poem by Afzal Shauq

Distributed among hundreds
I try capturing your heart.

'Then Hey Shauq!
Tell me
what will be my place
in your heart?
Will I be the last
among all the others
you see in your dreams....'

As she asked,
No reply
remaining silent...

Because of her
my desert heart
a true nomad made

Thirst unending...
though heavy rain quench
still remaining parched


Still the girl...
Like the head of caravan
was entrapping me
in her circle of love
