ڈھونڈتے جہاں میں ہو آب حیات
پوشیدہ وہ تمہارے دل میں ہے۔

They say that gods don’t roam the earth;
I’ve seen them walk with heads held high,
I’ve seen them talk with haughtiness,
I’ve seen them judge and justify,
With their strong self-righteous egos,
Each imperfect soul they come by;
With their wrathful gazes they search
For flaws which rarely meet one’s eye…

Be like a radiant orb
Amidst the dark paths,
The guiding stars point the way.

We all have journeys
to understand our lives.
It's just better
if we are writing
our own stories
and not
reading the stories
others write about us.

Remind me of the magic
my fingers could cast,
Remind me of the stories
that I once told...
Remind me of the smiles
I used to spread,
Remind me of the tragedies
which didn't unfold...
Remind me of my self
for tonight I feel down;
Remind me of my self
for my fire's going cold...
Remind me O Beloved
of Love that I once held,
Remind me O Friend
of everything I want to hold
close to my heart,
dear to my soul...

When greens go red and the air seems to rust.
I marvel at your endurance, O leaf.
Though parched, you hold on with patience and trust
Till winter arrives to herald your grief.
Bleak though it might seem, in hope, trust you must.
Pour your hopes in a flask of spring’s belief.
Till wind takes you, for a flight, with a gust
And breeze makes of you a jocund mischief.
As your soul takes flight, your wounds shall be trussed;
In your joyous flight resides your relief.
O Autumn! You now have my heart and lust.
O Autumn! I name thee my heart’s thief.

A moment of joy it is,
My muse has returned to me.
I sought her from place to place,
But she flew eludingly.
When all hope was lost and gone
Of penning down a story;
My pen had been left forlorn
Stripped of its inky glory.
Return she did at an hour,
And a place, quite unlikely;
Weilding her mighty power,
She poured forth some ink with glee.
Her ink is like wine to tongue,
Setting the pens wagging free.

Lighthouse
Through the sea, azure and dark,
To the land of hope and light;
I know how to find my way,
For I can see the lighthouse . . .

I wish
Your body was a canvas,
My lips
The paintbrush
And I
The artist
of your life...

The rain drops
sing as they fall,
a song to pacify your heart.
The breeze so fresh,
freshens the bittersweet
melancholic memories,
buried in the past;
a whiff of your
fragrance, so pure
that it hurts,
is a consolation on your part.
How sweet would it be
to hold your hand now
as you've always held my heart.
