Nikhat Bano Poems

Standing alone at one end of the street
Is nerve wrecking;
Staring from nowhere to nothingness
Chills my spine.
...

The rays have brought your message
Piercing through my closed window
I can read a golden hued line
'I'll be yours, all my life'
...

Glowing as a lamp I saw a lone onlooker,
adorned with the flares of sun - one Gloria;
Unleashing a blaze of beauty around her,
lighted my heart's patio with her wine aura.
...

A lily truth herself, a soul so pure,
who gets amused just by the sight,
of humble lilies of her courtyard;
Swaying during day, smelling during night.
...

You listen to all my whisperings,
you know what lies in my heart;
Your gazes follow my breaths,
only you can foretell my untold parts.
...

Wish to see a land of oriental pearls
Where nights melt into honeyed morns
And nymphs swim in molten gold with souls bare
Calling lone sailors for a hymenial sailing there
...

Encircling your entity
a halo has been seen,
standing alone, but not lonely,
under the cold nimbus clouds;
...

In the days of yore,
what else one could ask for;
During those moments of ours
you were just mine and I was yours.
...

An amorous blush is seen all over,
a tickling pink is spreading laughter;
A sensation of unknown pleasure,
has spread aesthetic appeal all over.
...

Once more a year has passed,
had many things in its garb,
much the same as the past.
A mix of all fair and dark.
...
