avaar-e-aaftaab (downpour of sunshine)
Poem name : PRAYER We crossed the light, recorded the golden field We crossed the light, recorded the golden fieldWe reaped fables and threw down faded Beside the sandy duns a sun caressed us like shadow, we hesitated We beheaded dreams beside a vast mysterious riverbank A cloud arrived and we shut our eyes Darkness broke, we saw Venus and climbed the mountain ridge A lightening fell and observed us praying Trembling we wept, laughing we cried The cloud throw down a shower and we were harmonious Blackness vanished, we rubbed our heads in the sky, and sank our heads in the “Khoor” of skies We abandoned the shadow in valleys, cast our smile at the vast void. Our silence joined each other, and we two become one Our solitude stretched up to the golden field The sun was frightened of our faces We understood and laughed We hid and burnt The more closer and lonelier We separated ourselves from the mountain ridge I descended to earth and become God’s subject You ascended and became a god You ascended and became a god |  |
