Downfall
After The Last Hug
Kia finds herself ... in Sanah's story
किसका है
a vision lights up my being
going deep, from the peepscarved by daggers- into many hearts
each spasm taking parts to wholeprecious moments, treasured bonds
trapped in hazy mirrors at homeautumnal longings haunt
barren gardens of the soulyou shall reap what you sow
don’t ask who brought in the thornsTranslated from the original Urdu poem by hecblogger (Amit Agrawal). Read on for an authentic feel …
मेरी आँखों में जो बसता है
सुन्दर वो मंज़र किसका है ।१।
हर धड़कन में मीठी टीस
उठाता खंजर किसका है ।२।
मेरे घर के धुँधले आईने में
यादों का पिंजर किसका है ।३।
खिज़ा को जो खुद तलब करे
गुलशन वो बंजर किसका है ।४।
बोया था तूने बबूल अमित
पूछता है शज़र यह किसका है ।५।

Pick minimum two keywords – preferably which is not from your post, and weave a story/poem around it. The onus of identifying your keyword is also on you :).
