A Journey Within

Wearing her heritage on her skin

Sapna walks in beauty for a journey within

A lost homeland’s roots

Whose culture is shown in tattoos!

The land of Sufis, Saints and Sarvech was Sindh

Onto the “ignorant” heartstrings the pearls of memories cling

When the old remember the past

How their worlds were torn apart

Tears trickle down the cheeks

Shuddering at the horrific memories

As the dancing girl swings to life’s melody

She brings back childhood memories

When the mind caresses the Sufi heart

Reminds of an era forgotten, and art

Kadhi chaanwar and potato tuks, as the tongue savours

The mind and the body feels the flavours

Of being a proud Sindhi to the core

Sindhustan really touches the soul.
