"برائے فروخت(Baraaye Farookht)"
آو کہ مجهے سر بازار خرید لو
میرے پروپرواز میرےافکارخرید لو
خرید لو کہ شاید کچه بن آئے
غریبی کو اے حضرت عیار خرید لو
aao k mjhy sar-e-bazar khareed lo
mery par-o-parwaz, mery ufqaar khareed lo
Khareed lo k shayad kuch bn aye
Gharebi ko ay hazrate Ayyar khareed lo
تخیل کی گہرائی میرے لفظوں کا سحر
مقام خاک کا سبهی معیار خرید لو
takhayul ki gehrayi, mery lafzon ka sehar
muqam-e-khak ka sbhi meyar khareed lo
میری عزت و آبرو سب بکاو ہے
آو شریف شہر میرا وقار خرید لو
meri izzat-o-aabro sb bakao ha
aao shareef-e-shehar mera waqqar khareed lo
فٹ پاته پر بچها ٹاٹ کا ٹکڑا
بندہ مزدور سے چین وقرار خرید لو
foot path pr bicha taat ka tukra
bnday-e-mazdoor sa chain-o-qarrar khareed lo

English translation
"For Sale"
Come on buy me from bidding market
Buy my dreams, my wisdom, my wings
Buy me to satisfy your cruel greed
Oh the clever, buy my hunger/poverty
Buy my depth of imagination and my magical words
Buy my poetic soul and it's rhythm
My honor and nobility is for sale
Come on, Oh patrician! buy my dignity
The shadowy tree, the home of the homeless
Buy that shadow and the spirited soul

I love everything about this post. Followed! The formatting is beautiful, I love that you start with your native language and let the English translation live further down the page, I love the pictures...and I love that this piece makes you think...and makes me want to have a conversation with someone about this piece of art! I also see you’re an actor? I do theatre too, and have been seeking out that community here on steemit--any tips?
Thank you so much for your kind words, yes I'm an actor as well, have done theatre, still an active part of major active theatre societies here in Islamabad, Pakistan. But, now I rather focus more on the real life drama and want to be a real hero rather than just pretending to be one, I wanna conquer the reality through wisdom and action. You will see a diverse me, great to connect with you :)
Looking forward to seeing more of you around the steemosphere. :)
