It was a wonderful relationship of silences. When I
was awarded the Akadami award for the verses I had
written for X, the press-reporter had wished that I
pose as if I were writing something on paper. When
the press people went away after clicking the
photographs, I saw that I had only written one word
again and again: X, X, X...
…….Forty years back, when X used to visit me in
Lahore, he would come and quietly smoke cigarettes.
When the ashtray was filled to the brim with cigarettestubs, he would go away. After he had gone, I would
light and smoke those cigarettes alone. The smoke
from me and his cigarettes would mingle in the air,
the breaths too mingled in the air, and words from
poems as well, in the air...”
