An English translation of Muzaffar Karim's urdu poem Mujhe Sarhadein Paar Karne Ka Shouq Nahi
I’m not interested in
crossing the boundaries
But still
At times
Sometimes
I wish
Us to be birds
Crossing a handful of
sky
Feather by feather
We’d come to our
tree-house.
And in autumn
If reminded of our
remembrances
Would go
And
House-in that lamppost of
the university
Under which, somebody,
still today
With some books
Is waiting for someone.
