Oh dear sun
Hug me with your golden rays.
Let your warmth seep into me

Deshab ki tu azmeer babam
Ama da boodi
Ama da boodi


The moon welcomes you into the night.

Her thoughts wandered back and again

She sew them inside her pillow before leaving

Escape - 2

As she ran to meet her younger siblings at the corner of the street, her mind wandered back to a few days,
And she stopped dead on the street

" How will he keep alive for the next God knows how many hours?"

She was being pushed and pulled by her siblings down to the next block, yet she was numb, she dragged along like a lifeless being, he 'chaadar' falling down from her head.

"Hum ne Ali saans rokna nahi sikhaya, woh mar jayega"
She said it out aloud. And slumped down on in the middle of the road. Tears falling recklessly.
Would it be the end of a new beginning?
And she was sitting on crossroads yet again.

“Just kidding' was exactly what people wrote when they meant every word.”

The beads that marked our paths have now evolved into rubies
Pearls  of water absorbing the gravel
And leaves hugging  the sky

It stays fiery blue and watery pink
For we still believe

Sunsets stay greener
And sunrises foggier than usual.
The blue frost marks the breaths lost.
