Ahmad Al-Za’tar by Mahmoud Darwish
For two hands, of stone and of thyme I dedicate this song..

A Noun Sentence by Mahmoud Darwish

The Beyond by Muralidharan Mudaliar
A cry from beyond, calls to ‘that’ within, An answering cry from within, Tries to reach out to ‘that’ beyond.

Mother by Shahida Latif
Mother by Shahida Latif Mother: bounteous blessing, A sheltering shield, fragrant flower, Gurgling founting fountain of love, Incarnated patience and sacrifice; She cares least, For her own appetite and dress, When her own children remain, Unfed, undressed.

I Salute You , O Women! by Ms Tabzeer Yaseen
You should have an existence of your own, This is the dream that I have sown. Don’t get lost in this crowd, Do stand apart and make yourself feel proud.
