A Poem Slumbers in My Heart

Eka Najma So Rahi Hai Tahe Dila

Summary

 What instrument is this

vibrating the strings

of my eyelashes?

what Picture forms and unforms

on the aural screen?

What shadow is this

that overspreads the clouded heart?

You know

I Love shadows,

but whenever this one

unfurls its wings,

a tide of Thoughts swells in the blood,

and the blood begins to drip

from my pen.
