1/6: tasveer

chaahiye us ke tasavvur hi se

naqsha kheenchna

dekh kar tasveer ko

tasveer phir kheenchi to kya

one show draw a portrait

from just one's imagination

if a picture is drawn by

looking at another...what's the point?

2/6: tasveer

adhuri chhod ke tasveer

mar gaya wo 'zeb'

koyi bhi rang mayassar na tha

lahu ke siwa

leaving the painting unfinished

(s)he died, ‘zeb’

no color was affordable

other than blood

3/6: tasveer

kya qayaamat hai ki

aariz un ke neele pad gaye

ham ne to bosa liya tha

khwaab mein tasveer ka

what calamity...that her

cheeks have turned blue

i merely kissed

her image in my dream

4/6: tasveer

chand tasveer-e-butaan

chand haseenaon ke khutoot

baad marne ke mere ghar se

yeh saamaan nikla

some pictures of my idols

a few letters from beautifuls

after my death, these are what

turned out in my home

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

5/6: tasveer

dil aabaad kahan reh paaye

us ki yaad bhula dene se

kamra viraan ho jata hai

ek tasveer hata dene se

where can the heart find peace

by forgetting her memory

the room becomes so desolate

by just removing one picture

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

6/6: tasveer

aapki tasveer thi

akhbaar mein

kya sabab hai

aap ghar jaate nahi

saw your photo

in the newspaper

what is the reason

you don’t seem to go home
