The Moth






A liquid brown flutter in my hand,

A beating of desperate wings,

Luminescent colour on my fingertips,

Her gift to me- the colour of life,

My gift to her- the touch of death……



Some photos on the moth and me here

Hey thanks for visiting! Jus realised today that you had dropped in a line there. :)

Loved this small verse though I wont agree with the last line!

I found Fanaa silly too. The poetry looked as if it came from a franctic google search. The good, the bad, the ugly, the distinguished and the mediocre, put one after the other , without breathing space and without reference to context.

One or two shers bring a smile though, taken by themselves: Kehate hain ke ishq mein neend nahi aati, Koi hamse bhi ishq kare, kambhakt neend bahut aati hai yaar.

I like Kasarat-e-jalwa se too. Especially, Shauq ki deewaangi tae kar gayi kitne maqaam, aql jis manzil peh thi ab taq usi manzil mein hai. Though Iqbal Bano seems to have sung the melancholy and the witty shers in the same tone - but I guess that cannot be helped. And some shers I only understand the general drift of. What is the exact meaning of tanha Kharoosh-e-saaz kya?
