Whispers of Rain
Raindrops gently fall
Whispers tap on the window
Clouds sing soft and low
The earth drinks the silver drops
Calm returns with every sound.
Whispers in the Mind
I sit quietly,
listening to my thoughts.
Some are heavy,
some are soft.
I do not speak them aloud,
but they stay with me,
teaching me
who I am.
Haiku
Raindrops kiss the earth
Petals lift their scent to sky
Storm’s soft, soothing hushes grief
Delight of Anarkali, Lahore
In Anarkali’s lanes, alive with sound,
Lahore spills colour into the day
spices gleam, fabrics glow,
voices braid the air.
Jalebis curl in syruped gold,
sweetness clinging to the heat,
while footsteps and laughter
flood the narrow street.
Here, the crowd becomes a rhythm,
the market, a living thread
its charm tightly woven
into the heart of the city.
