Aik Pagham

A Message

Translated from the Urdu by Alamgir Hashmi

It's the same weather.
The rain's laughter
rings in the trees, echoes.
Their green branches
wear golden flowers
and smile thinking of someone.
The breeze is a scarf, again the light-pink.
The path to the garden that knows us
is looking for us.
The moment of moon-rise
is waiting for us.
