Babylon to Kot Sultan Dr. Agha Inamullah Khan Chapter 12   Amir Sultan Muhammad Khan Babar’s Farewell to Afghanistan & forefathers’ link with the Royal Afghan house of Durranis Kings     Amir Sultan Muhammad Khan Babar/Baburi was related to Durrani Kings through his grandfather Nur Muhammad Khan Baburi whose daughters were married to King Timur Shah Durrani & King Shah Zaman Durrani. In most of the books, reviewed by the author; the historians have mentioned Babar clan as Baburi. In a discussion on this variation with a Karachi based Pashtun journalist Murtaza Khan Babar, the author learnt that Pashtu has grammatical rules for forming possessives and related terms. In Pashtu, the name ‘Babur’ is written as Babur or Baburi and that the addition of the “i” sound at the end is a common grammatical feature in Pashtu, where it can function as a possessive suffix or be used to create objectives or related terms.

13th Grave Apa (Arfa)

 *13th Grave* Apa (Arfa) After laying her to rest, I untied the knot of her cofen from head end. And before placing the last wooden plank to roof her cell, we pulled rest of the cloaks with koranic verses inscriptions, and I recalled laying my parents to rest before her; father in 1991 and mother in 2019. It was 11th moon of Jamadul-awal in islamic calendar on Jan 17, 2019 when mom passed on. Coincidentaly it was again 11th moon of Jamad-ul-awal this 13th Nov 2024. Until the rest of wet soil was plastered, and soil dragged to mound in grave shape, I sat beside the very first grave of my grandmother in that yard back in 1983, and now we have 13. Countless are rested in this cemetery since 1790 AD, but in this particular yard within; it was 13th grave. I was present in all the 13 burials, but today's vibes were different.  It was so peaceful and soothing in the early winter cold mist of November. The wings of dragon flies hovering with her spirit glittered in flash of light.I di...

Telepathic Intimacy

May 17, 2024 Thoughts in flight Travelling through time Gliding past abrasions & scars Vibrating to hunt DNA of soul Clinging to lactating pores Quenching eternal thirst From primordial celestial nectar Of mother nature Like a stream gushing Overspilling down a mountain Bending & turning Into a river Flowing past each curvature I see you in the nucleus Surrendering to parasitic absorbing vibrations Interwining to each fibre in you

Addicted

June 5, 2024 His hypothalamic screen projected Pressured against dopamine overburst Forbidden scenes The Eyelashes Brushed her belly button In circles Waking up butterflies Inside her tummy Gittering Mind anchored over bare skin Slid cheeks on heaving bossom Her gaze crawled on his hips Reflected from the mirror Framed as cieling above their antique bed Jolting image as it rocked in rhythmic momentum Pubis curving in Like scorpion tail upon its back Sending waves Making crusts and troughs Squeezing Bartholins Emptying like river Overflowing fleshy moist contours He pecks down the cleft That arches from belly bordering groins  Exhaling steam of emotions drooling down the fairest valley Flooding his imagination Interupted by ringtone Of her text message

Where are you from ?

 Dr. Agha Inamullah Khan From the fogs of heaven Diluted in layers of love Vapourized to have a free fall  On a meteor That ducked Magma Of life at the core Only to erupt As high as Everest And bleed as cactus Thirsty For love That He seeks Endlessly Thats who I am And wandering to know where I belong
