POETRY
MEMORIES
โ POEM by Nasim Khan
(Translated fromย Urdu by Mustafa Liwal)
A memory,
Can grab you by the collar,
Get you fired,
Reminding you your worth,
Like a boss.
A memory,
Can suddenly smash you,
Walking down the road,
Like a hurtling car.
A memory,
Can attack you,
Like a wolf,
Relaxing in the shade of a tree.
A memory,
Can drown you off guard,
Hiding at the seaside.
A memory,
Can collapse on your head,
Like the roof of your room,
With a loud bang.
Itโs impossible to escape memories,
But we canโt stop living โ
Scared of calamities.
โฆ.
(Translated fromย URDUย byย Mustafa Liwal)
