In heated frenzy of swirling times
Peeling bells oft deafen chimes
In knotted string of life's turns
...
Palpated her breast, a lump in the throat.
The monster that mama and aunty smote.
Toyed with the pages of a letter she wrote,
...
Paired delectable lilies,
bob on a placid pond.
Spawning ripples and
tsunamis far beyond...!
...
Cousin lover friend and wife!
Days now spent in sterile strife.
Ginger locks by a chiseled face
...
Many a rising sun, I have witnessed, set
Wavering night lamps seen steady get
A Diamond’s worth, none could match
...
Have you ever heard in your mind
the sounds that silence makes
the silence that spreads like music
as in splendor a dewy morning breaks
...
Wealthy round moons supple
rise up to support a lovely neck
and from this cape, earth, itself
forms up to a beauteous beck
...
Bubble forth and crawl inland
Clamber to die on washed sand
Wave after wave of crested peak
...
Don’t you spit; words at us,
desperately now, you mummified cuss.
From your grave,
want to save.
...
(baad'e samoom... wo tazeeana ik lehad ka …urdu)
Just wanted to buy Aasma a doll!
If possible for Haider a plastic ball!
