Hira Ahsan Poems

Must repent thee
careless gardeners,
who sowed their coward seed..
...

I admit,
You did all chores,
cooked me food
and washed me clothes
...

Ab bhi kuch kasak baqi hai
lutf-e-muhabbat ki palkon talay,

youn hi nahi raat raat bhar
...

A story I recall,
About six years back...
I gained weight,
And looked very fat...
...

Ae darakhto'n k pat'to gawah rehna
Kashkool liye tum khali kharray thay

Har ek ek sha'kh jar'ron tak thi sookhi
...

I wish to tear my flesh apart
and show the world
my lifeless heart
...

Like a toddler woes
in excess of stomach pain

like lover's blood palpitates
...

Two toads in rain
stout bellies, puffed eyes
shouting loud for plenty
with swollen glands on
...

O! it flew; high and high
Out of cage, out of hand
Tied tongue, humble eye
Mutely I; cry and cry
...

That cruel Sunrise...
Was filled with cries
Trillions of tears
Fell from all loving eyes...
...
