ज़िन्दगी का कोई हिस्सा गर छिटक कर बिखर जाये फिर वो संवरना तो दूर संभल भी नहीं पाता

Storm
It is difficult
not to think of you
when a storm descends.
Call me when you send rain.
गोशा-ए-जहन्नम
दुनिया है कि गोशा-ए-जहन्नम
हर वक़्त अज़ाब-ए-इलाही तौबा

We, the Puppets of the land
Even when there are no strings
you are still a Puppet
frail, exposed, vulnerable
paper glued to a bamboo stick
hanging on the wall
your life a game
soulless, voiceless
your limbs at mercy – creek
your raised arm
a tame shallow protest
your knees bent limp
in listless surrender
to the ruthless regime.
We, the Puppets of the land
Resolve, to hang by the wall.
