"Kashmir Solidarity Day"
"Kashmir Solidarity Day":
Poetry:
"They will come for me, to get me, one day.
They will pull the trigger, to kill me, one day.
They will ask me to say, "I am a Terrorist", one day.
They will claim that, they got their man, one day.
I will tell em , I am a Muslim, I will defeat you one day.
To the ones who lost there beloved people in this scenario:
"Labhair liom, a shearc
abair liom go bhfuil tu ann
abair nach scail ata ionat
labhair liom, a chuid
dearbhaigh dom go bhfuil tu ann"
Translation:
"Speak to me, beloved
say You are there
say You are not a shadow
beloved, speak to me
and tell me You are there"
A temple in Srinagar:
"A temple in Srinagar
raised to ruins,
only pillars stand
like his pale face.
in my memory
I must come back to
the autumn trees
to write on chinars our
forgotten history;
on the graves of my friends,
whose coffins
I shouldered,
I must return to write to poetry."
A Stranger:
"There is a love I reminisce,
like a seed
I have never sown.
Of lips that I am yet to kiss,
and eyes not to meet
my own.
Hands that wrap around my wrists,
and arms
that feel like home.
I wonder how it is I miss
these things
I have never known."
I will Return:
" I will return to you
when mourners leave
the graveyard.
when children will make
snowman in our backyard,
when your blood smeared
shawl is cleaned
by the rains,
when the prisoners will be
freed from the chains"
Confession:
"This is my confession.
As dark as I am,
I will always
find enough light
to adore you to pieces,
with all of my pieces."
The Keeper:
"You were like a dream
I wish I hadn't slept through
within I fell deeper
Than your heart would care to let you
I thought you were a keeper
I wish I could have kept you."
After You:
"If I wrote it in a book
Could I shelve it?
If I wrote of what you took
Will that help it?
If I will it,
Can I unfeel it
Now I've felt it?"
Arts and Books:
"Without a Doubt,
I must read
All the books
I've read about
See the artworks
hung on hooks,
that I have only
Seen in books."
At the End!:
"In the end only three things matter:
How much you loved,
How gently you lived,
And how gracefully
you let go of things
you meant for you."
-Buddha-
