If by Maliha Tahir

Sunday, April 30, 2017 / BY KELS
I may be the one that leads ambitions, aims and sometimes adventures. But it may be the same me that leads to despair, disappointment and agony. I am a choice, a path, a belief that makes conditions in the past, present and future. A choice that decides between happiness and grief. People call me “if”. Among my various forms, it is believed that those who choose the ambitious one, remain happy. While those who seek...

Creator's Love by Ali Shahzad

Tuesday, April 25, 2017 / BY KELS
Prior to the triggering of the Big Bang and genesis of the cosmos,even prior to the orientation of time-frame, the Absolute Creator fashioned a spark, flameless but radiant, untouched but caring, pointless but penetrating in the realm of abstracts. A spark whose warmth has been glowing the whole universe since the the beginning. That spark is Love, Creator’s love for ‘the best creation’. Like the love of a mother for her unborn child. For love,...

No Place For Ifs by Bareeha Saeed

Tuesday, April 25, 2017 / BY KELS
It was as soft as velvet. The cheese filled core, the stuffed chocolate sauce topped with strawberries…yummy…even the sight was heavenly. This divine cake piece was the best thing Sam had ever gifted her taste buds. The ultimate bliss was indescribable. “I need to have another piece.” Sam thought There was just enough money left for one piece. She was over the moon after acquiring her newly found love. “I should savor every bite of...

A Certain Kind Of Iffinity by Nabeel Ahmed

Monday, April 24, 2017 / BY KELS
I hear the ticking of the clock as every fragment of my being slowly dissipates into the void. Inside of me war wages on, a war that doesn’t decide who is right but only who is left.What if I didn’t make that decision? Would I still be split into two halves that when put together don’t even make a whole? I was autumn and you were my spring. I put you on a weighing scale...

They Look Like People by Aruma Khalid

Monday, April 24, 2017 / BY KELS
I didn't know ! They will not understand They looked like people who you think you know They seemed like people who you think you can't deny But the reality mirror, ' oh no dear' they can cost you so many wear and tear All my thoughts gone vague A point between serenity and rage For whom I cared not a single day spared But a little mistake cost much afterall that was not a...

If I Had A Heart by Mehreen Yawar

Saturday, April 22, 2017 / BY KELS
I may call myself blind, deaf or useless but unfortunately I can't, because they have a heart. I am the actual meaning of handicapped, the perfect depiction of senselessness. I am deprived of a heart that can feel, the center of all human emotions. I am the one who should be pitied upon, I am the one who needs to be looked upon with special care, with sympathy and an air of despair. I have...

What If by Yasir Majeed

Saturday, April 22, 2017 / BY KELS
How does it feel like? How do we stand our grounds? The mighty walls we built, We, living in the bounds, The fantasy painted blue sky, Breathing love, hate and fear, Wearing the name, privilage and identity, Carrying the disease of pride, we bear, Running, round and round, running, Thirsty, greedy hearts, minds dirty, Paper, money, worshipping currency, Buying smiles, happiness and luxury - easy... Planes, ships, sky-scrappers, Mighty seas, rivers, bow down, the bridges,...

If You Were Alive by Salmana Moneeb

Friday, April 21, 2017 / BY KELS
I might be more lively and cheerful, cherishing the moments as they come instead of counting the days left to see you.  I might be more jolly and a bit less of a misanthrope, if you were here. I might be a little more pleasant-mooded ,enjoying the beauty of nature,inhaling the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers ,listening to the chirping birds, talking to stars, amused by the music, finding hope in flickering flame, life in...

For Eyes That See by Hameema Ashraf

Thursday, April 20, 2017 / BY KELS
                FOR EYES THAT SEE! If your eyes outlive, the up surging dust and haze, If the empty, raving crowd, doesn't set ablaze your sense and sensibility, your dormant, innate ability to love what you find beautiful, regardless of practicality. Do stand up, for what makes you breathe in the suffocating so called sanity. Do fight to salvage what's left of your dwindling, perishing humanity. If you do...

A Case of Sixty Stab Wounds

Thursday, April 20, 2017 / BY Ahmad Jalil
She looked eerily like her. That was the first thought that came to his mind when he saw her that day. The resemblance was so apparent that at first, it almost knocked him off his feet. He even found himself going towards her, arms out stretched, ready to pull her into himself like he used to pull the love of his life for long affectionate embraces. But luckily he stopped himself from doing that. For...

A Paradox World- By Ata Ul Haiy, 3rd Year.

Wednesday, April 19, 2017 / BY Romesa Qaiser Khan
Lost in a World of reminiscence, I hear a distant whisper, Resonating, sparks fly in the nuance, Igniting forgotten emotions. Flustered, my being writhes In the agony of speculation As this labyrinth of my soul awakens. Is this what hope feels like? So long have I wandered Alone in this dark abyss Of longing and despair. Like a creature of the dark, That dreads the light, I cringe at the thought of such a dream....

Broken Promise by Yasir Majeed

Tuesday, April 18, 2017 / BY KELS
Sun is filling up the room, Where are you? The night was cold and scary, Waiting, my eyes, teary, Yesterday, you promised you'll be back, In a minute, but it turned black.. Remember, yesterday, you kissed my forehead, When in the morning, you left this bed, I held your finger, like a newborn, Gentle, it slipped away, adorn, You told me, "Don't worry", I saw you leave, face blurry, Sun is filling up the room,...

Memories by Salmana Moneeb

Tuesday, April 18, 2017 / BY KELS
Whenever I'm found engrossed, I always get the comments like;"hey, what are you thinking about? " , why are you so quiet?" and sometimes even satirical ones like"she is an introvert, extremely quiet girl" To tell the truth, I never feel disgraced to get commented like that for I have been called that for you. Doesn't matter I'm alone or in public, even a bit flash of your lovely recollections   take me to the...

Lost and Forgotten- Ata Ul Haiy, 3rd Year

Tuesday, April 18, 2017 / BY Romesa Qaiser Khan
Somewhere along the way He lost himself, Or the "way" lost him. Among the plethora of paths His path was supposed to be clear. Why then, lose it he did? Were it the ever-changing truths? the honest lies? The surreal secrets? those veracious suspicions? The promises kept? Or the trust upheld?   His mind races Between the ones and zeros The Yeses and the Nos As he fumbles to answer Wherein lies his mistake? What...

Open letter to my friend who wants to be perfect by Hafsa Amin

Monday, April 17, 2017 / BY KELS
If you were perfect, it would be the absolute worst. You may think perfection is everything but let me convince you otherwise. The way your smile is crooked makes my heart skip a beat, and when you slur while pronouncing your words makes me heady. The fact that your 'r' looks more like an 'n' makes me shake my head a little, and the way you keep looking in the mirror to see if you...

Are We Too Risk Conscious These Days by Bakhtawar Ahmed

Sunday, April 16, 2017 / BY KELS
An energetic young boy All his life he had been so coy That he surprised all by speaking against the ploy Of his daddy, that even it made him wry “Dear son”, he said, ”Oh son”, he cried, It’s now time for you to decide Whether in your life you want to take a smooth ride Or endeavor to sail over threatening tides I now consider you the heir Of my business enterprise You are...
