co-wrote with Syed Qaiser Gilani

somewhere behind those clouds are my tears
that shall drizzle when thunder breaks, and darkness
has to end, to free the pain imprisoned by a promise
the day we dreamt, of nights in sweet slumber

somewhere after the rains have stopped, you shall
find the thorns i took off the flowers you like
that you may hold them close to your heart while i
wait for the sun to dry...then maybe the bleeding too may stop

somewhere, after you have long forgotten, as i
retreat to a faded crevice of a past, and morrows have
obscured the place where i was,too late to live anew
in the melancholic twilight of my life,

where remorse, regrets are rife somewhere, baffling
words fall over through my mind reflections of darkness
floats... a disturbing peacefulness beckons to me
and inside myself... I take cover

what would it be to stay in darkness forever
to be lost in all my scars....if
this darkness should last forever and the stars
don’t fade away

would there ever be another 'morrow?
