street dogs
settle some issue, while
the neighborhood sleeps

midnight sounds
of countless crickets –
air conditioner joins in

In a tearing hurry, came the clouds
bellies fat, moods dark
They swallowed the moon
They chewed the stars
each one
one by one
Whole night the show was on
boom bang – fury & twang
When they were done,
I surveyed my ground:
dripping trees
shivering leaves
wet petals
twinkle eyes
an azure sky, and
One angry sun.

[ Translation of Ghazal
“Dil Mein Ek Lehar Si Uthi Hai Abhi”
Poet: Nasir Kazmi ]
Heart flutters –
with a new beat
A fresh breeze is on the move
An uproar in cavern-of-heart,
down goes
some wall
Fragile spirits
and now, a new scar
Foggy ghosts of forgotten isles
still –
echo your voice
Down the dark alleys
searching …
for you

bright full moon
rises over the horizon, and
entangles in the mobile tower

this evening,
moon is aloof and pale ...
miss the sun, my friend?
