My brother’s stray cat lovingly brought a gift for him. Freshly hunted.
If the cat could speak, this is what he would have said to my brother
ترے عشق کی انتہا چاہتا ہوں
میری سادگی دیکھ کیا چاہتا ہوں
(اقبال سے معذرت کے ساتھ)
😅😂😂

Paper Trail
Heart-shaped salty tears,
Slip down my face…
Tracing a myriad;
A paper trail.
Dr Hafsa Siddiqui
Miracle
Like hands stretched out towards the sky,
The barren branches of the lonely woods,
Embrace the snowy miracle of the calm night.

Apples and Strawberries
A still life painting of fruits done in 2007.
Rose and Dahlia
Another painting that was done in 2007.
Cotton Candy
“Cotton Candy”
The stuff
That little children dream of…
Pastel-hued and delicate.
The sweetness
That melts in your mouth
Even on a parched day.
Cotton candy wrapped
Around an ordinary cane
With stuff that dreams are made of.

Dowry
Its stench
Pervades the desi senses,
Gnawing at the decency
Of blue collar workers.
Fathers indebted,
Brothers inheriting
The financial strain
Like a mutant gene
That appears dominant
In the evolution
Of backbreaking burden.
Passed from one generation
To another
Multiplying its effect.
Yet, never receeding in its hidden state.
The ugly trait of dowry;
Prevails still
In the sick society.
Dr Hafsa Siddiqui
