Beside the Atlantic's whispering, restless steep
Thy burning eyes outshone the starry deep

Neela, gaze not upon me so
In this long silver fiery night
...

Thou came last night in guise divine and bright
Thou came last night in silence of the night
...

Evening Rhymes

Evening has come, shadows fall

I am a voyager, all alone
Underneath the dark stars unknown

A heavy shadow drapes the boughs

by Emdad Shah


The night descends in heavy velvet fold

Silent night of the village land Draped in the velvet deep
Over the bamboo canopy

I am a sailor—before me lies a kingdom strange and vast
A city veiled in shadow, a beauty unsurpassed
...

by Emdad Shah

The silver night of stars—I wake alone
The wind ripples in blue where waves are sown
