I burned and I burned all night.

And in the morning, they found your name

In my ashes.

Raqs is a collection of poems rich in imagery and blatantly expressive of love in all its glory and pain. The poet takes you on a journey of self-awareness, passion and an ascent towards divine love. Raqs brings together the divine and human, the mystical and the real, creating a tapestry of poetic images. Moving beyond one's own limitations, the poems surrender themselves in the open fields of love. 

I cannot get dispassionate.

I was created to love

And write poetry.

"There is  romance in her soul and a yearning for its creator. This is an open love for her master. I find myself drowning in her imagery each time I read this. If you too are seeking the one, open this book and read her poetry."

– Zafer Mohiuddin, writer/actor/director
