gazal-page-306

If wounded- heart shall be pained

This infliction must yet be healed

From here some day I shall reach another abode

Somewhere for certain- to my future destination

Uncomplaining I am of your treachery

You must be ashamed but of me

Seasoned purity withstands all tests completely

Impurity absolutely is roughening

Noone lives forever in this life

It must bother you sometimes

How much strain can you take

If poked with sarcasm of hate

Not considered a beauty Mazhar

Though may be a rose bud she is stone hearted
