Puzzles
I have solved many
of various kinds
But I can’t piece together
the lies that fed men
to fight against the country
they once belonged to
***
Indus
water in the darya shah
is less
compared to
water flown
from the eyes
of partition
***
Looking from the window
Outside the gray brick house,
the street,
the city,
and country,
are not the same.
But,
every little inch
crowded with memories
will never change.
