The Re-Birth Of Shirin Poem by Afzal Shauq

“ Don’t you know Afzal Shauq?
I’m the re-birth of Shirin”

Whenever I heard these words,
I started sweating
And amazingly looked at her,

She was smiling with nodding head
with quite confidence
and was ascertaining that
what she said is right
utterly right…

“Yes, cutie eyes princess,
maybe you are right
but let me know then
what about my dream girl?

As I moved up the question,
she looked at me staggeringly
Thought a little
and abruptly stood up
but with a critical smile of proud
and started stepping towards me,

Her unexpected move
made me trembling with fear
and was thinking that
she may put me in prison
or even kill me

But luckily,
as she reached to me
she instead of slapping me,
closed her eyes emotionally
and opened her arms widely
then unexpectedly,
she started asking for a hug
repeatedly as….

“ Come ahead.. touch my soul
and please make me complete
Hey beloved Farhad,
my missing second half ”


(This poem is dedicated the one and only Shirin, who is my dream girl …. Afzal Shauq)
