Re: Amjad Islam- mae gaya tha uss gali mae
I went to her alley
expecting many things.
I knew her well.
but by her window
no lamp was lit.
no star was shining.
no flower came from her
towards my waiting heart.
nor were the blinds opened
by any humble hands.
nor did the curtain waver
by the knocking winds.
her bangles did not jingle
in the perplexities of her dreams.
nor did the moon smile
resting in someone’s eyes.
