Usman Hanif Poems

</>Lying in the open and gazing at stars
Gives me nothing but the war of thoughts
The thoughts try to defeat one another
but die in vain to let in new thoughts
...

My only difference
Between life and afterlife
is my death
...

The sun seeking my shadow
My shadow hides behind me
And when i look at mad-show
The sun gazes to blind me
...

Sharpen up your blunt canines
Summon up the lost souls
Call your gods to tackle me
'cause you have no existance
...

Fools always have nails
To scratch their heads with...
They always find trails
To stumble their ways with
...

The red dog who used to speak punjabi...
Now he lies dead on the road
Vehicles pass by
People kicking aside his carcass
...

she said
'keep going on
i am a bit tired
i would join you soon'
...

Let the soul creep in my shadow
Wake me up when you’re gray
Eat my meal, throw the ladle
Shine the sun, cast them away
...

Hey ragdoll!
You wave to me
show me the teeth
make faces at me...
...

She smiles and conjures
The bitter curses on you
She just sits idle
Like a lone carnivore
...
