Eid Mubarak

Back after a long hiatus. :)

And while the churiyan winding around my wrist

And the payyal embellishing my ankle,

dance in symphony,

The golden dupatta races through the strands of my hair,

I smile.

Knowingly:

Look above,

Above,

through the shades of my eyelids,

And see you:

Chaand.

While you unveil.

Eid Mubarak!
