The Village Of Deceptions - Fakhira Batool

The world O! Friend,
Is a village of deceptions,
No deference is observed
Behind the pardas.
This is the place where we meet
Losses but not the truth.

O! Friend speak caring least
The difference of ‘I' and ‘You',
Here marital pleasures
Of all are robbed off.
Do not press your tongue,
Between the teeth, for your silence
Holds a storm in it.
The world in itself without you,
Is nothing, proclaim aloud
That it has severed you
Only with the fever of love.

Fakhira Batool (21st century) Pakistan
