reaction to Obama's Afghanistan war speech
People here are very apprehensive of what Obama has in store for Pakistan. The only good thing is the mention of a time table for the exit to start. However, no date for the withdrawal has been mentioned. The general public wants the US to leave Afghanistan. The ant-American sentiments are high here. So much for an ally
talks in official circles. There is greater animosity in Pakistan now after Obama's speech.

The beauty of the night by Sohail Mahmood
The beauty of the night
The stillness
The darkness
The quietness
The beauty of the silence
The beauty of the night
No one here except you
Wherever I look I see you I feel you
Wherever
The silence of the night
You are there always
As if, waiting for me
I am there waiting for you
In the beauty of the night
Everything is so radiant
So still
So quiet
And, I feel your presence
In the darkness
When my soul cries out for you

The rain, the night and beyond to eternity by Sohail Mahmood
The rain drops falling on my body
The raindrops falling
I stretch my arms to receive them
Open my hands to catch them
Raindrops falling
Raindrops falling
After the scorching heat
The rain is so nice to have
So nice
Gentle raindrops falling on my face
I turn it upwards
To catch a few in my open mouth
What a blessing this rain
The raindrops falling on my body
The dark clouds
Like cotton in the sky
The dark clouds
Look so beautiful
The wind
The trees swaying in the wind

The pain of my heart by Sohail Mahmood
The pain of my heart
Missing u
U left the pain in my heart
Just the pain in my heart
Did not say good bye
Not even a good bye
Not even looked back

The pain in my heart will not be removed

U left a gaping hole in my heart
In my soul
Just like that

Without even once looking back
