Two poems of Shah Jehan Ashrafi
I Felt the Rain
I felt the rain,
A soft shower
On sifting sand.
We remain sandwiched
Between love and pain.
Come to me, O Beloved,
The rainbow that makes me yearn.

I Saw You Last Night
I saw you last night,
Bright in the moon,
Generous as the stars.
You promise to come,
But I keep watching from
My window.
Your beauty is for everyone,
But I think of hiding you
In my broken heart.
