अब पितृ दिवस मेरा सूना है। – ज़िले सिंह
पिता तो मेरे चले गए,अब पितृ दिवस मेरा सूना है।जैसे लोभी का धन लुट गया,और लगा मोटा चूना है।अब यादों में रहे शेष बस,मूरत नहीं दिखाई देती।कहां ठहाका रहा हंसी का,खुशियां नहीं दिखाई देती।कहां...

The Grand Inquisitor
But, he was only a shadow.
He was not
the Prince of Darkness
the veiled Mistress

About Amrita Pritam / Kanika Aurora
The bonds and conventions of society are certainly reflected in my poetry, negatively, of course. But I think every intelligent person has to suffer…Suffering is the price the intelligent person has to pay. As for women, I feel that women in literature are different from women in other fields…Basically; there is a prejudice against women in literature. Men take women’s writing lightly; they doubt a women’s sincerity. For example, when I got this Sahitya Akademi Award, and with it fame, the leading English daily in Delhi wrote that I got my popularity in Punjabi literature because of my youth and beauty. I felt very sorry to read that. Why not talent? They can admire a beautiful woman, but not a talented one.”
In The City Alone … and other poems / Rachna Joshi

and pines cover the slopes around.
Dew soaks through the foliage
and the cold vapours settle everywhere,
branches and leaves hang in a myopic mist
green, white and light blend.
