Your use of words, Ali, has a real feel to it and there is plenty of meaning. The third verse reminded me of Yeats - "The intellect of man is forced to choose/ Perfection of the life or of the work/ And if it take the latter, must refuse/ A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark" - a half-truth, mind you.

I recently made a trip to Lahore where my mother lives, got a chance to spend a lot of quality time with her and am grateful to say that I was able to appreciate the cruz of our relationship which is the unconditional love thats there.. regards, saqib Ali,
