sameeroo: re: `is this about sex?`
~only if you want it to be!

akhirkaar, i get to comment on your poetry. and i have to say more than just i like it na?
the urdu does always flow more than the inglesi, but i`m not really familiar with some of the urdu words..khair, i get the sense of it.
i usually like the image of waves takraoing against the shore, repetitious as it is...so i like this metaphor, dark as it is. aur bhi kuch kehna tha par bhool gaye....

Words reverberate
flow eternally
winds whisper
withdraw
compromise.

Is this about sex?

No need for any apologies... here is how we `roman urdu` dyslexics can participate: employ sound files like MP3, or wav or whatever... Maybe Chowk already has the technological provision to do so. Alternatively, use urdu script. I understand that Umar Khan (former Chowk editor) has invented the technology.
