Life It used to be in sopore

I looked outside my tendered window,
the sky was smiling so were the flowers
Rushing downstairs’ I let my burden fall
Time was running I looked for life
I wondered it was true
the beautiful mountains, the buzzing light of snow,
the happiness falling, I wondered it for real
The stories we heard from our pa’s
Rushing grass of soyapur
Jackals calling loud our name
as orchard paddy farm with fame
I dreamt about it every day until I woke up that day,
Sopore was expanded in all direction
 so was the beauty as it fades away.
Fading tourist spots for erect structure make their way,
I felt astounding to look up,
As I waited for the dust to settle
My head, My head hangs in shame.
Shame on you, Oh! People
 How come u not lift a finger,
 for when has holding a broom been sin for you.
The wiz n wheels of Iqbal market,
The crowd of people and the aged
plus the flow of garbage of foul
I wonder how this cooperation ignores.

Future of kids and future of business,
when buried in garbage
even hiding our faces,
Ergo! Eradicating our future.


The roads of ash peer,
the fragrance of Jhelum
I bite my tongue and hold my breath
I stop my grandpa, I stop myself,
for what I’ve seen is dust and decay

Those paths of sparking diamond,
I wonder how cruel humanity is.
For we stand at bay
for we never let a dustbin to stay
for caring of our house
and not that on roads.
Was it us or the government?
together we stand at bay
paying no heed for once Sopore
that life once drenching in light,
now wild beast punching us at times.

While they surround us in darkness,
we let us stay in fake hope
left somewhere back in their minds,
while the govt. warms and sleeps tight.

A prison cell.

                   The sun was up, I could hear the voices of children laughing, playing and dancing. Some were crying because they were losing money, some were playing football and some just roaming.  Everybody seemed so energetic and happy. I could hear the voices of women, girls soaking in sun, sitting on those mats with their husbands. The waves kept coming and the kids kept whooping.  But my eyes continued staring at that boy. He was sitting all alone wearing a white t-shirt and a kit, enjoying the terrific windy nature. smiling, amusing and gazing at everything. He kept gazing and I kept staring, I couldn't stop myself and with that shouting and singing I saw myself getting closer to him. My tongue was stuck, my lips weren't racing and my eyes were frozen.  I tried to say ‘hello’ but I kept waiting! Waiting for him to see me.  Tear drops kept rolling my cheeks.  Here I was excited to see him, talk with h...

The Greatest Gift

  I remember the time, when I used to pay attention to the things Allah gave me except the part of creating me. What I know of is that Allah actually gives gifts to everyone but what I've observed is that people admire gifts given to others that they don't have. Some want the gift of being artists ot having a good voice or being good at dancing. What we often forget is that with great gifts comes huge responsibilities. These gifts can't always be a blessing for you even when they were given as a form of blessing. Such as, an artist makes art and thinks of himself as someone superior ignoring the fact that the art, he is copying on his canvas isn't his. He is actually copying the art of another artist. The greatest of all artists. And then he copies the faces of people. We call them sketches. without realising that he might be asked to give soul to them. But all he sees is a face - A face with no meaning. What is a face? Anyway? What is a face other than your ide...
