Nameless Silence – Meena Kumari’s Poem

Meena Kumari's Sketch

Meena Kumari's Sketch

Alone, in a limitless stretch of loneliness
Caught in confused webs of fate,
Am I.
Again the crossroads, again a nameless silence,
Misty vision, deep quiet
Conscience donning the garb of apathy.
Life, an empty question,
A hushed wonder, the only answer.

Poem by Meena KumariSketch and Translations (from the Urdu) by Fatima Ahmed
