1/3: kaaghaz

kaaghaz mein dab ke

mar gaye keeDe kitaab ke

deewaana be-paDhe-likhe

mashhoor ho gaya

insects of the book

died, buried in paper

while the unschooled madman

became famous

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

2/3: kaaghaz

vo bhi shaayad ro paDe

veeraan kaaghaz dekh kar

main ne us ko aakhiri khat mein

likhaa kuch bhi naheen

maybe she will break down

seeing my blank letter

in this last message to her

i didn’t write anything

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

3/3: kaaghaz

chaand sa misra akela hai

mere kaaghaz par

chhat pe aa jaao

mera sher mukammal kar do

a moon-like verse is

alone on the paper

walk up to the roof

and help complete my poem

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)
