Explosives Store by Prf. Sajjad Shaikh

علی محمد فرشی

بارود گھر

بہت دیر کر دی
فرشتوں نے نیچے اترتے ہوئے
فاختہ
اپنی منقا رمیں
کیسے زیتون کی سبز پتی دبائے
جہنم سے پرواز کرتی؟
فلک دور تھا
اور بارود گھر شہر کے وسط میں

Explosives Store

The angles
long delayed
their descending down!

Holding an olive leaf
in her beak,
how could the dove
fly from the hell!

Heavens are far away
and Explosives Store
was located right
in the city’s heart

(Translated by Prof. Sajjad Seikh)
