“Sunlight
Peek-a-Boo”
The peeking sun,
Through wet hair,
With its playful rays,
Touched my silky drenched locks,
Suddenly laughed.
When the sun reached my eyelashes,
Its sweet laughter transformed into
The bashful smile of a maiden
And she was soaking in a 7-color spectrum.
Parveen Shakir (24 November 1952 - 26 December 1994)
