Alien Eyes
He in whose name I breathed,
Whose name remained on my lips,
He crept in such a way as that each
Recess of my being became fragrant.
I wrote his name on the palm in Henna,
But he met me today in such a manner
As with alien eyes on his face.

Vessel Of The Heart
From this world
To that one,
From that world
To this one,
From the earth to the sky,
To the farthest galaxy,
From the body to the soul,
And the extent
Whereto the sight goes,
Greater than the vastness of cosmos
Is the vessel of the Heart.

Love Gets Crushed
Lust when possesses the heart,
And rises Its head through earth of wisdom,
At the very moment
When life makes Lust its nucleus,
It sets on fire everything all-around,
And garnishes conquest on Its heads,
At the very moment Love gets crushed.

After You Had Gone
Only a little happened
At last
After you had gone,
Love, fondness, faith and trust,
Erased themselves
From the pages of dictionary
Of my life, in such a way
As they never had been there.

A Battle
An effort to forsake you,
A desire to remember,
Strange are the perplexities,
Abased on the path;
Strange is the helplessness,
That on each decision,
Irresolute is the heart.
An effort to forsake you,
A desire to remember,
In fact is the life.

Let Us Confess
O! My love,
Separation of centuries
Ensued between us,
But the son of love
Still shines in the heart.
Though we parted
Yet remained loving;
Let us confess that we dwell
In the heart of each other.

The Murder Of Shade
The hewn tree, tall, thick and green,
Casting soothing shade, clear and clean,
Fell flat with the thumping, choking sound,
Prostrate ravaging, pillaging the ground.
It bewailed, it bemoaned and it did weep,
“How shade is murdered in valleys deep! ”

A Relief
We had a firm belief
That NATO certainly
Will give us a relief
In Drone attacks
By changing the tracks;
Just now a new
Policy has been announced
That Pakistan is to be pounced
Upon from the territory of Afghanistan,
Instead of from the region of Pakistan.

Love Is Like Sand
I said it too,
Love is like sand,
It slips down through fingers,
But some grains stick with the palm,
And when it is bushed,
These grains pass through eyes
While journeying to the soul,
They often weep and wail
Lying in its secret channels,
But troubling a lot.

Separation Weeps
Those who break up relations,
Perhaps forget,
They meet by embracing,
Each season all alone,
But they weep not alone.
On becoming restless,
Saddened and impatient,
Separation itself,
Accompanies them in wailing.
