Value

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?

Potluck

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

Aşk

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

Memories

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

Priorities

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

Scent lasting centuries

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

Acute contradictions in love

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
