Oct 12 2016 اڃا هي وقت جو ناٽڪ هلي ٿو پيو
نظم
اڃا هيءُ وقت جو ناٽڪ هلي ٿو پيو
اڃا ڪردارَ ناٽڪ ۾ ڪئين ايندا
اڃا ناتا ڪئين جُڙندا، ڪئين ٽُٽندا، ڪئين ٻيهر جُڙي پوندا
ڪئين ڪنهن واٽَ تي پل لئه ملي ويندا
ڪئين ٿي بيخبر مُرڪي ڏِسي ويندا
ڪئين مُرڪون کڻي ايندا، ڪئين مُرڪون کڻي ويندا
گهڻن ڪارڻ اکين ڳوڙها لَڙي ايندا
ڪئين رستي مٿي … Continue reading -
Aug 15 2016 Life After Life – Peril magazine
This is a movie review I wrote on a recent movie, Life After Life, published today in Peril Magazine. Eleanor Jackson–the editor-in-chief of Peril Magazine–as usual a pro-active and dynamic soul, orchestrated the execution of reviews to be written on several movies as a part of the Melbourne International Film Festival (2016). I loved the movie and writing … Continue reading

Aug 14 2016 To Be Or Not To Be — Hamlet — Shakespeare
HAMLET: To be, or not to be–that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep–
No more–and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is … Continue reading -
Aug 04 2016 ہم سرد نگر کے باسی ہیں
ہم سرد نگر کے باسی ہیں
اے گرم ہوا کچھ دیر تو آ
ہر اور ہوا یوں چلتی ہے
جیسے اک برف کا طوفاں ہو
ہر رنگ گیا ہے ڈھل ایسے
اک رنگ نظر کو دکھتا ہے
اس کارن بھی من دکھتا ہے
پورب کی جبیں پر برف اگے
پچھم کے لبوں پہ آہیں ہیں
اتر دکشن … Continue reading -

Jul 19 2016 هڪ نظم ڏٺو مون ميلي ۾
هڪ نظم ڏٺو مون ميلي ۾
تنها، تنها ڄڻ مندر هو
!چوڙيو ٽڪريءَ جي ڇاتيءَ تي
ڄڻ گوپين ڌاران ڪشنا هو
ڄڻ مومل ڌاران ڍٽ طرف
رڙهندو، ڪڙهندو ڪو راڻو هو
ڪو ڳاڻو هو جو لوڪ ڇڏي
رڻ جي ڀاڪر ۾ ڀٽڪيو ٿي
تن گهايل ٿر جي روجهه جيان
چپڙن ۾ رُڃّ، رڙيون، راڙا
نيڻن … Continue reading -
Jul 16 2016 Flash Reality — STORY # 2 (St Lucia Station)
This is Flash Reality as opposed to Flash Fiction. I’ve coined this term to narrate personal/real stories tweaked to suit fictional purposes. The maximum word limit I’ve chosen for these stories is 2000 words excluding the wording of any poem or reference material.
Having stubbed out my cigarette against a stone on the street at Salita Fontego, I picked … Continue reading
