 "DISCOURSE" GLOBAL LITERATURE MAGAZINE


TITLE:VERYTHING FITS IN ONE LINE

POET: MUMTAZ HUSAIN (USA)

REVIEWED BY: AAMIR ABDULLAH


The fourteenth horse of the grand procession,

Weary and breathless, succumbed at last.

All embraced the creed with fervent hearts,

Bowed to the realm where faith imparts.

God remained distant, beyond my grasp,

No echoes heard, no teachings to clasp.

Dangling in the ear, a broken tool's grace,

Within history's iron bars, it found its place.

The Turkish boy, in hush, did stay,

As if a snake had scented its way.

As venomous fangs in bite conveyed.

Nestled its eggs in a lethal embrace,

In a chalice of poison, eggs find their space

We all kept extracting

The essence of meaning.

The pig, with audacious glee,

Claiming the sacred mark

on the cow's dome.

A hungry soul, my mother's plight,

The evening star, with venom's might,

Fed her a draught from her portion's height.

A fresh sun upon our brows did rise,

Surging from the worshipper's niche

on the forehead's guise.

REVIEW OF THE POEM

Mumtaz Husain's poem, penned in the context of Pakistan's Independence Day, masterfully weaves symbolic imagery to portray the struggles endured in attaining freedom. The fourteenth horse's exhaustion mirrors the nation's journey, with its people embracing faith and sovereignty. The distant God signifies the quest for identity and purpose. The craft employs vivid metaphors like the "Turkish boy" representing danger and the "venomous fangs" illustrating subversion. The "pig" claiming the sacred mark alludes to sacrilege, while the "evening star" hints at treacherous influences.

The language carries emotional weight, merging seamlessly with the symbolism. The broken tool, iron bars, and venom create a palpable sense of oppression. The poet's profound connection to the homeland is evident as they depict their mother's struggle and the rise of a new day. The poem’s intricate narrative exposes the present struggles of the nation, emphasizing a disturbing reality.

Mumtaz Husain's love for the homeland is deeply ingrained within each line, reflecting a heartfelt devotion and an unflinching gaze at the country's challenges. The poem imparts a poignant message about the arduous journey towards independence and the ongoing struggles for a better future. Through its masterful craft, evocative language, and profound symbolism, the poem pays homage to Pakistan's complex history, evoking a deep sense of reflection and empathy.

  "DISCOURSE"GLOBAL LITERATURE MAGAZINE SHORT STORY TITLE: BLACK MIRROR AUTHOR: DR.SHALINI YADAV (INDIA) Black Mirror A eleven year old in a floral frock, on a mattress, under the Indian Lilac on the parapet, struggles to find something into the wooden mirror kept leaning on a creaky chair in front of her. Adding to her innocence, the morning breeze carries her silky hair over to her face as her mother whispers in her ears to carefully look in the mirror as she removes her hair covering her face. Poor little girl with a solemn face has forgotten to chirp like a bird. Her uncle scolds her, urges her to concentrate and see deep inside the emotionless timer frame. The bright sun moves up from the east heading towards north, as the sunlight peeps through the leaves and branches of Lilac; falling on the girl’s face creating patches of various shapes. Her pale and nervous mother pats the girl’s back and asks if she can see her Malini aunt’s house in the mirror. The little girl has ...
