gul naz - New Year

Each New Year is marked by hopes
Aspirations and faith for a new dawn
Prospects of change
And sanguinity strong
Hopes and hopes for the days to come
Wishes and wishes for the months to go

But this year is marked by horrid cold
It sounds someone has put an ice
On emotions, feelings,
Sentiments and sensations
A chill that lies somewhere within
Desires died and smiles faded

But still
I have dreamt of a peaceful world
Where no one can snatch morsel and crumb
Where humankind is in reality kind
Where slaying is not a pastime sport
Where parity rules and biases decline
