Thoughts - Aftab Yusuf Shaikh
What inch of earth
will we have to
stand upon, when
our institutions turn out
to be mere illusions.

Thoughts - Aftab Yusuf Shaikh
When the lover saw the
dragger in his back held
by his very own love,
he said, 'My Love, twist it hard and pluck the life out of me.
Kill me by your hands.
Be kind, let not me live after this treachery.'

is your Mother.
Service to your mother
is engraved on the
grains of your self.

The Myth of your Love
and Titanic words, has
been wrapped in a sheet
of shit and thrown out
of the cabinet of
my memory.

ZEPHYR / ZILCH
ZEPHYR / ZILCH
Nobody believed the desert flower will ever come to being.
Nobody believed in miracles anymore.
All hopes reduced to zilch.
The harsh winters had ruined all dreams of a spring.
Hardly had anyone seen the enriching rays of the Sun for months.
But one evening of English summers, the Sun came back to life.
As the Sun kissed the zephyr,
the desert flower rises up from the dust,
all the fragrance of the flowers is renewed.
