24 Quotes by Zubair Ahsan

Listen well, as I speak of my upsurge;For I’m a lover, without a loverI am a flame, without a combustionI am a novice, without a mentorI am a healer, without a woundedI am a winner, without a trophyI’m a captain, without a devoteeAnd above all, I’m alone – not lonely

But I will love you in this fire and bloodAnd I will be the keeper of your smile

And I shall seek you endlessly, forI am a moth, and you’re my flameKnowing that I’ll burn at your touchI return, for you’re a fire; untamed

And you think these collapses are your endBut nebulas collapse to become stars.

Child of shadows, once born of fleshUn-winged, amidst fear and agony‘Fraid of the lurking and yet to comeOblivious, to the code of chivalry.Voids in his desire were unveiled, asLove taught him; death with dignity.In desire to be and in wanting to liveHis wretched soul began to purge,As he wept at the beauty of nightHe commenced to sing his own dirge,Then born again of fire; ascended,Like Phoenix must burn to emerge.

It is the fire that consumes me;It is an inexplicable love,It is the rain that calms me;It is a melody from above.It is the wind that humbles me;It is everywhere and nowhere,It is the sand that fuels me;It is the artistry of nature.I’m consumed by what I am,I’m calmed by a riotous noise,I’m humbled through arrogance,I’m fueled by what is in poise.I’ve much cherished the mystifying,I’ve heard the unreal symphonies,I’ve been moved by the inevitable,And I’ve hailed the epiphanies.

The moments spent with the beloved areWhy, today, there is a lonelinessThe eyes that illuminated this worldAre now gone to light up this sheer darkness

If your heart begins to carry burdensAnd you begin to feel your soul benightFor you, perhaps, you may become heavyFor me, my love, you will ever be light

And from where should the light enter, forThe wound of my heart cannot be seen
