Daily Selected Poems : Zahir Khan

I am the only one in the dusty city

.

These are the clouds that are across the sky
Stay frozen with the speed of the wind
In the shade to feel a little better
I am the only one in the dusty city

After a while, it will rain drizzle
Kids running field after field
Kanamachhi ran and screamed

This is me sitting as a groom
Asadha-Shravan rains across the yard
He went in search of the bride
One of my mustard hilsa youth

Now a little bit in the pitter-patter sound
When you wake up, you just hide, the walls

Yet after my love being killed
There will be bloodshed in this city

.
