The First Encounter! by Sundar Huma - Pakistan

Never imagined

And

Never wondered

The first encounter

I had been ever under

The first gaze

And 

The first smile

I had ever to surrender...

Truth by Hamda Rafaaqat - Pakistan

We seek the truth, a distant, fleeting thing, 

Our hearts ache for its touch, but still we dream— 

It’s not the truth we crave, but what it brings, 

A hope that fades like echoes in a stream...

Morning Star! by Narjis Raza - Pakistan

Beneath the night’s vast, twinkling expanse,

A celestial wonder, in love’s tender trance.

You, morning star, after night’s patient plea,

Radiant, unmatched, a sight to see...

Contrast! by Narjis Raza - Pakistan

In the chase

For endless glee,

Realism whispers,

Let it be.

A dance so true,

Balance,

The beauty life imbues...

Vestiges of Comfort! by Ayesha Abid - Pakistan

My heart drowns as it craves your embrace,

My head is going wild, in the darkness of days,

My love is getting emptier, day by day

My soul is drowning as my feelings decay...

Miracle! by Hamda Rafaaqat - Pakistan

Why do you wait for magic's gentle hue, 

Crafted in woman's womb, a spark so true? 

At first,

She feels discomfort in her stride, 

A stranger to herself, emotions collide. 

Confused,

She can't discern joy from sorrow, 

As adolescence dawns, a new tomorrow.

In skies of colors, where clouds gently weep,

Resembles the womb, where life's secrets keep.

Like rain cascading in crimson's embrace,

The uterus whispers of life's tender grace.

Was not it a miracle to you?...

Tears flow down the cheeks at your departure.

The migrating bird flutters its wing,

Over for it is the season to sing...

Fireflies by Aniqa Gulzar - Pakistan

Oh you pretty lampyridae, envious am I

Twinkling splendidly in the darkness, your resplendence, can't deny

 

Those tiny lights, a beacon of hope for happiness deprived

A motive for some pessimist to continue to strive

 

Those nights seeming endless will certainly end

Your grieving heart, if you try, will manifestly mend...
