TALAK 
 
if there was no light 
to-night 
except those of the stars 
perhaps 
it would have been better 
to utter 
that prohibitive word… 
 
 
if you were not before me 
with your golden face 
and luminous eyes 
perhaps 
it would have been easier 
to utter 
that outlawing word… 
 
 
if it was not spring 
and the birds sing 
their beauteous melodies 
perhaps 
it would have been cosier 
to utter 
that irrefutable word…

(Note:--‘TALAK’ in URDU means Divorce. According to Shari at Law, 
If the husband utters TALAK thrice, the Divorce is enforceable in law 
throughout the Islamic World. This is not applicable vice versa. )
