Heena - the color of life


This poet sleeps
On the lips of your dreams
Words have gone again on strike
I am curfewed in your eyes

I see you
From the window of the moon
I hear you
Like an old song of longing
Of Habba Khatoon
I hold you
Like a dry leaf of Chinar
I keep you safe
In the secret pocket
Of my grandmother’s phirin
With all my shy marbles
Of childish desires

I wait for you
To play with me
I wait for you
To sing with me
I wait for you
To shout with me
On the unknown mountains
Of beloved Kashmir
