Re: Manto
***Tossing the empty bottle he shouts, ***
***‘Oh world! Your beauty is your ugliness.’ ***
***The world stares back at him ***
***Their bloodshot eyes rattle with the question ***
***‘Who nabs the pillar of time ***
***By the noose of his drunken breath? ***
***Who dares to break into dim corridors ***
***Of twisted conscience? ***
***Who intrudes upon poisonous dens ***
***Of demonised souls? ***
***Through icy glasses his rude glance ***
***Chases us like a footfall ***
***Foul monster!’ ***
***Bang! Bang! ****-Majeed Amjad, Poem for Manto
