Where am I in your life?
In the morning breeze or the evening star,
hesitant drizzle or sharp rain,
silver moonlight or hot noon,
deep thoughts or casual tunes?
Where am I in your life?
Down from work,
a weekend’s interval on a beach,
or an unintended silken release
between your fingers from serial smoke?
Or a readily replenished,
freshened moment without wine,
or a moment’s leave, anonymous,
between the breaking of one dream of love and another’s beginning?
Where am I in your life?
- English Translation of one Poem of Parvin Shakir from her famous book Inkar (Refusal) -English translation by Alamgir Hashmi
