Roshni

Roshni ki pehli kirnein ab dakhil huin
aur mera dil kahe in dastgir ko torh de
itna mayuus houn ke yeh baat ab meray dil mein
basne se bas youn hi zordar inkar kar dey

--(Usman Chohan, 2007)

The first rays of light have now entered
and my heart tells me to break these chains
There is a frustration that this thing in my heart
refuses with force to live in remorse.

--(Usman Chohan, 2007)
