[Inside the heart, love carps it lacks space.]
[One life, a thousand wishes, each to die for slowly.]
[You stopped just short of the highest note.]
[What will my friends do when all their gambits fail?]
M. Shahid Alam’s poems and translations of Ghalib have appeared in Prairie Schooner, New Letters, The Southern Review, and Salamander. Alam has been teaching economics at Northeastern University since 1988.
