Silence is a dream;
An awareness of pain;
A lamp for the darkness
Of the heart;
Words,
Not moulded by lips,
Not tasted by the tongue;
And nightingales,
Which will sing only when
Spring comes
To the garden of desires.
Today, the words
Are only words,
Unspoken, unformed;
A dance of fingers
On the harp of the soul,
A melody of desire,
Soundless and formless.
Ali Sardar Jafri
