Book excerpt: What is a wrinkle but a story of love? Moments gone away. Some of romance, some of longing. See the glimpse of my past in the glistening of my eyes. Songs of color and sound, autumn and spring, flavors of romance. God has gifted my greatest desires. But by the side of my desires follows my dreads. Shagufta Qureshi is an introspective and inspirational poet who enjoys writing about humanity, social justice, love, faith, sacrifice, loss, grief, and motherhood, inspired by the spiritual style known as Sufiana Kalam. In her second collection of poems shared in Urdu and Punjabi with English translations, Qureshi explores such complex themes as tragedy, loss, and love while lyrically telling touching stories of longing, grief, and isolation. Her reflections touch on the quiet moments that lead to redemption, forgotten friendships, the knowledge that illuminates life, a thousand unopened wishes of the heart, a determined search for the one, and much more. Aks: Reflections is a beautiful volume of multi-language poetry that shares insight into one woman’s experiences, challenges, and emotions.
