جاں بلب ( نظم  )

جاں بلب  ' آبلہ پا 

سسکیاں ' آہ و بکا 

 بے بسی نوحہ کناں

المیہ اَشْکِ رَواں.

دشت بے   آب و گیاہ

نا بلد آہ و فغاں

 نہ کوئی نالہ رسا

 نہ کوئی حفظ و اماں !

                           ریاض لغاری

(The poem "Ja'an Balab," laments the killings and the abandonment of Pakistan's most vulnerable citizens. Giran Naz and her two children were brutally murdered in Barkhan, Balochistan. The ferocity of the situation is symbolized by the desert's hostile climate.)

Mourning in the Desert by Riaz Laghari  

Lifeless sands, barren and bleak

Echoes of sobs and mournful shrieks

Helpless cries in the wilderness

Tears flow freely in their distress

A desert void of water and green

Only lamentation can be seen

No one to hear their anguished pleas

No protection or security to ease!
