Ghazal

 


*Ghazal*


Before making it a  bazaar of tulips in Kashmir
It was  home-land with roots for tulips in Kashmir


Partings in curfew scatter parts of my body
My hands are in exile , fingertips in Kashmir


No month is cruelest , yet  you may  forecast
Many moon faces kiss an eclipse in Kashmir


If they send you with hundreds of settlements
There  are a  million Gaza  strips  in Kashmir


When God airs Time's end ,Beware O' Israafyl
It's been  already an  apocalypse in Kashmir


Google Earth chalks architecture  of  occupation
From Sumbal to Leh (sweep) Airstrips in Kashmir


The boy is carried home,(silenced. out of rubble.) 
Last words are often audio clips in Kashmir


Come! O' Mahiwal of the baked glass mountains
My heart  is  a  madhouse , it  dips  in  Kashmir.


"Your Death/Not carried by newspapers/Anymore"
A cry word,  from hand to hand,  slips in Kashmir 


The naked Journalist, running in legs of smoke
cameras ram into gutter_ gun outstrips in Kashmir


The broken mouth is not just a mouth broken
A language it has brought to lips in Kashmir


Is it the graveyard. (you talked about) bloomed into a garden?
Tombstone_ anonymous necklace.Memory flips in Kashmir


The God left the sanctuary to the Gassed saints.
Where are the shrines? Who worships in Kashmir?


Your eyelashes /a date palm /around eye's/ black ocean
In your eyes /of salt water /cry  /polyps in kashmir


The tiresome nightingale trims a quiet quiet strain
and hyacinth blood waters townships in Kashmir


If you have disappeared, shall you ever be sought?
For/some laws. Which /Delhi fog/ equips in Kashmir


When they stole the land, stole even the roads,
Shriek/A bleeding ambulance/ grips in Kashmir


_Daniyal Hassan, 2019
