ish'q bhee tu, aashiq bhee tu
pyar bhee tu, pari bhee tu
mehfil bhee tu, mehv e shauq bhee tu
kyun na aaj dastaan tri
bayaaN karooN maiN

credit

insouciant, imperial

with its craters and clouds

predestined to revolve

unbothered

by our perception

ebb and flow of tides and times

rising or waning, half or full

viewed through thick windows

at 35000 feet

or shimmering through the kitchen window

viewed in the embrace of lovers by the river

or in inaudible sighs of torn anguish

or in the cascading beams through the branches

of thousand year baobab in selebi-phikwe

or splashing its magic over the mournful taj

the serene moon

its perception in our minds

and her love of mother (earth)

going round and round

never leaving the lover

and anchoring other lovers

morbid, magical, mysterious

parvana moon

credit

love people who are in awe of words. words are the sole arbiter and the final survivor. desicritic editor, slave and slave-driver.
