Something will always be left behind

I was about to leave for the graveyard when he entered my room and stood behind the door. He looked pale, so weak that only his head was visible. “I won’t go there. The sun is searing and there aren’t even any trees,” he said as I wore my shoes. “There isn’t any shade here ...

The world

Fazal Baloch translates Munir Momen’s poem, zamanag, we publish the other day.    Every night, The world yells some filthy abuse, At my solitude, And runs away out of the window.

Utter helplessness

This poem, was e bewasi, by Atta Shad has been translated from Balochi by Fazal Baloch. God, O God! Where is that world? That heaven and the earth?

“Barr e Kaheer has been set on fire,” a neighbor broke into our house, sweating from head to toe, to inform my mother. The guy who brought the news had been long gone. Yet, my mom stood static like a statue with a look I had never seen on her face. It made me confused. ...
