Written by Shahid Fayaz Saqi, Author and Poet from Gundbal Mohd Pora Kulgam Rambling in the wild-open fields With broken and effetled legs Like God wholly mortified me The gusts of wind picked me up To gratulate the diadems of nature. The reflection of nature's bride Mured and shut my eyes Like unpleasant clouds seized my vision Put off the black and inky cascades On jocund faces of hilly universe. Now I put my eyes on rest and Unfold the fingers of imagination. Blindly, with fast fist and feeling
The music of hill tops When divine flags flapping with The breeze of celestial munificence When birds breezily twittering With nodding of head All round roaming of astute birds, Entangled I was absolutely alone with speechless fowls Like I committed an irredeemable felony But I think it was delate My fellow travelers, tenders and Confidants were birds Hardly steps were getting up Falling of tears like shower of March. It was corporal punishment,
All parts shivering like fast quake. Another sky fell on me, sun goes Behind the dark clouds Like someone stole it from my fissile lap Darkness covered the taken roads Looking back, I could see horrible
Shapes and shadows of fay. The birds also began to search for their nests. The doors of my city were shut on me, No inning for spending nights in Calm and Peace. Friends also turned out to be Enemies Like every door was pushing me with belittling. The caretaker of the mosque also kept the door locked. Now my head rests on the land of dead men And fighting its own battle in abstract flashings. As soon as eye to eye fell,
Dreadful sounds of snakes began to revolve around me
Like the heinous screams of the dead
Coming out of the graves. Insects spread their fearful nets Like snakes were humming me With the screams of hell. I fell asleep in the snake's lap And went to the world of dreams. In dream, the viper tormented my soul With vigorous bites and dragged me to hell When fangs grabbed my thin and whimpy neck, A scream came out and I woke up. It was the same snake in whose lap I had fallen asleep. I was helpless and did not have the courage. Dark clouds released the sun with a hope
I saw a large crowd and flocked of kin. They were staring at me with unknown eyes. I saw I was lying down on the sepulcher of beloved Who annihilated herself in my love.
