Aftab Yusuf Shaikh: August 2017

The soil you are born in,

is your Mother.

Service to your mother

is engraved on the

grains of your self.

- Aftab Yusuf Shaikh

The Myth of your Love

and Titanic words, has

been wrapped in a sheet

of shit and thrown out

of the cabinet of

my memory.

- Aftab Yusuf Shaikh

My sweet little moon,

what will you do
that night when it
becomes impossible to hide.

- Aftab Yusuf Shaikh

"Don't set yourself on fire
to keep others warm.
if at all,
do it to shed light."

- Aftab Yusuf Shaikh
