Silence of a dark night
deafening for the soul
Looking towards redemption
Stories untold
Life is but a prism
Colours separating from the seams
Dark ones are quiet
Light ones scream
May be we are prisoners
our small deeds
Considered crimes
Punishable indeed
As the night passes
we are left without words
travelling long distances
returning where we stood
the dawn appears at last
Time to wear our masks
Crafted with sweat and blood
took seven hundred twenty days
dragged to strange ways
there it lays, reflecting
artistry, craftsmanship
blacksmithing, brush strokes
most desired masterpiece
breath’s final release
admired, smiled and spitted on
admittedly, lately
people have varying taste
some take ages to decide
what they adore, abhor
others in momentary haste,
driven by greed, creed, breed
millions fail, few succeed,
there is nothing else to the deed,
has to be done, by someone
let’s mocking cocking
crowds have their say
it is the ancient way,
how nature decides destiny
Most beautiful place
of the universe
I don’t have a song for you
All my words are lost
Love stung, stabbed
Made me a loon
Mind of stone
I did get a kiss
at what cost?
Ceramic act, earthen ware
millions splashed randomly
not a penny to spare
craft adorning vast palaces,
bare minimum living, hard to bear,
fare isn’t fair, utter waste of a prayer
Memories of the heartache,
passion and lust
Don’t fade away,
till ashes and dust
Kept around,
in the mind and thought
Moments you shared,
battles you fought
Call rises and rises
needs increase
to go beyond reality
zenith of probabilities
have the courage
to cross boundaries of possible
impossible, downright unimaginable
test humanity to extreme
lights ray beams
tear universe from seams
whatever was deem
to be, make it happen
raise the voice
Haq Unal Ho, it is only you
transcend frailty
fear, fragility, frugality of heart
seven darts, all piercing through
blood dripping too but call rises
and rises, and rises, and rises
until nothing is left, just the call
to what mostly mattered,
heart fully catered
and soul ascend to
beyond imagination
If life is a race
to the top
you realise
conceptualise
doesn’t really matter
how much you stall
at the end you fall
Gravity pulls hard
all what ultimately
logically, if unwilling then
sometimes tragically
belongs to earth’s bosom
pick a colour
from soul’s prism
as long as it has love
humility and care
take your time, dig deep
for a perfect spot
to lie in loving,
embrace of our mother
smiling thousand faces
scintillating colours,
heart races
don’t waste a moment
on the longest day
in million years
kiss a beautiful
gorgeous stranger,
show no fear
disregard rules,
let go of what
you hold dear
cheek to cheek,
lips to lips,
sugar sips, honey dips,
dive in the vast
ocean of joy
in shoes without laces
you are amid
smiling thousand faces
heart races, then stops!
love transcends words
let you fly together
beyond body, soul
eyes glare, heart’s flare
just sweet smell
of a deep red rose
subtlety of pink leaves
air weaves, dancing to the hymn
of affection, soul satisfaction
death captures so soon,
before noon of love,
story does not end
after billion bends
universe turns
mind wakes up again,
consciousness regain
feeling what was
left behind, other half
of soul, now mind has one goal
salvation is in embrace
And then you see her
long white robe with grace
her hair hold a deep red rose
from a long gone era
of centuries past, of memories lost
given by a destitute
which constituted
best gift forever
Let’s lose ourselves
in those thirst filled eyes
blossoming hearts annihilated
bludgeoned souls mutilated
destinations staring at pathways
where is the missing traveller
heart cries full of hope
rambler’s fortitude is timid
in beloved’s beautiful
treacherous meadow
only flowers are free of
castigated shadows
millions hearts bound in chains
souls have been slain
paradoxical nights sobbing
it is my time for robbing
you from those sadist spells
listen, screaming
loud silence of the universe
heart runs in rage,
and is beloved bound
perhaps today
she will hear the cry
my sinking scream
without a sound
چلو ھم ساتھ کھوتے ہیں
تیرۍ تشنگی پُر آنڪھون پر
دل برباد کھوتے ہیں
منازل راہ تکتی ہیں
کہاں بچھڑا کہاں ڪھویا
امیدیں بھر کے دل رویا
مسافر قدم دل تھام کے رکھ تو
مرے محبوب کی وادی ہے
صرف پھولوں کو آزادی ہے
کروڑوں دل مقید ہیں
بڑے نازوں سے رکھتی ہے
عجب راتیں سسکتی ھیں
کسی دن آکے توڑوں گا
تیرا طلسم نہ چھوڑوں گا
صدایں کائنات کی سن کے
دل ناساز دوڑوں گا
کہ شائد آج کے دن وہ مِری
فریاد ہی سن لے
اور میری ڈوبتی آخر
عدم آواز ہی سن لے
