In the end

Imama Khawaja 2001 (Lahore)

Haiku
The world and its loud
Ambulance sirens won't stop;
hearts they carry do

About this poem

On the mortality of humans and how ambulances that carry them outlive their hearts. That no matter how huge the loss, the world shall go on, unaware.

    This poem is truly beautiful and evocative, reminding us of the constant noise and urgency of the world and the people it carries. The metaphor of the ambulance sirens and the hearts they carry is both powerful and moving, encapsulating the fragility of life and the urgency with which we must cherish and protect it.

    Some suggestions for improvement might include playing around with the poem's structure and imagery, perhaps incorporating more specific details or sensory language to further enhance its emotional impact. Additionally, consider experimenting with different metaphors or symbols to add further depth and complexity to the poem's themes. Overall, however, this is a wonderfully poignant piece of writing that truly resonates with its readers.
