azaadi ya maut

life, love, living, or
lives, loves, living

ek hee rehnay dO yara

lifeís constraints
tenuous links
grating dreams, crushing hopes
clouds, rocks, phoenix
and sajda

(kaun samjhaíaye kay her
sajda is not bowing down!)

ideas, ideals, idols
competition of impossibilities
in whirlpool of clay

and carnival of choices
kisay chahiyay yara
saaNs lo ya
sajda hee kartay raho
her moR per?
