Past and Future

Fragrance has tried its best to stay married to a flower, but the sun burned too hot , evaporating the fragrance, like meanings from my words, and rain turned into thunderstorm, washing away all memories, turning them into dreams. I just hope some seeds that fell off the flower will germinate soon.

Tasawur

اسی دھوپ چھاؤں کے بیچ کہیں
دیکھا ابھی ابھی
زندگی ہولے سے
مجھے چھو کر جیسے
کانوں میں سرگوشی کرتے ہوے
گالوں پر بوسہ دے کر
جھپ گئی ہو
تمہارے تصور کی
چھاؤں تلے

Broken Dream

As I was drifting into sleep, I heard a knock

” I am your dream, let me in “

I wanted to get up but couldn’t

It entered silently anyway, standing next to my bed,

it reached out to me .

Embracing me, held my hand, and pulled me up

we began to sing and dance

to the beat of our heart and rhythm of our breath

Drinking and laughing all night long

remembering the fun times we had

Moon got brighter

and stars twinkled endlessly watching us

Suddenly, alarm woke me up

I opened my eyes

realizing , its time to start the same daily routine

As I stood up

I felt the intense pain under my feet

I looked down

and there they were

Pieces of my broken dream

Have you ever seen a tear smiling ?

or a smile with tears in its eyes ?

Have you ever seen a Joy with ache in its heart

Or heart filled with Joy

Have you ever seen pain in ecstatic dance

Or ecstasy rising from the pits of despair ?

meaningless words

or silence full of messages

life wasted

or life lived in a single moment

?
