Mine

I want to touch the moon, make new friends,
roam the world and have all fun.
want to learn a lot, live like birds
find the answers to all the love,
I wist to touch your hand, laugh a lot and shout till I am heard on other end of the world
or also till its just morning of the next day bright.
The paint is getting old, and drying are the flowers,
I plan a long summer for new things to do,
I make new stuff for all the birthdays of friends to come.
The boundaries are just too small for our minds to fill in the spaces so confined,
the rose is finding ways to grow on your desk, the sky getting green,
and no one told me the bitter gourd was now sweet,
we grow our children at new pace to tell, to find a lot to all unknown.
I want to meet the stars and their dreams,
for the new place I make and treat all friends.
I want a world that's so beautifully mine to run and sleep at all same time
I want to fend and cook all times for I can have them all to mine.

Smoking cold


In the browning of light and the turning grey skies,
the temperatures are dropping, to as near as ice.
The houses leave a character of our own to display,
for a person who is new to all this way.

The smoke is filling the skies and time changes with platforms,
but I was waiting blank in vintage, thinking to which I belong.
The sweet which fills the air so cold
making it temper in flavors’ of smoke.

I buy two teas and take them once
and my palms now feel burned with sun.
Giving one to a boy of nine, the tea in clay, 
I saw him clench his fist in cold
and hunger so profound to have ate his sound.
There’s more to this country with millions to stare, 
some be with a lot and some not even to care.

Twenty second year of millennium and my train is to come,
for the first of its kind from the Capital to home. 
Smoking it will come and get past the snow to join this place to Kashmir in snow, 
in ducts and on bridges it will sail along to make new way into markets of Lahore, 
the train is also new and new is our word for just to bridge gaps, making a new past.
