Poetry reveals the secrets of the soul. It shows a longing, a desire to be with someone, to be somewhere. More than a form of art, poetry is an expression. The words poets write represents their innate thoughts that fill their hearts. It displays to the world their emotions that they could not express otherwise. Poets need to follow their thoughts and explain their emotions through rhyme and rhythm. Aasia Majeed from Rahim Yar Khan is one such poetess who has the flair of playing with words. She writes each word with a purpose. She incorporates all of her feelings in each of her poems. Aasia Majeed is a student of MPhil at the Khawaja Farid University of Engineering & Information Technology, Rahim Yar Khan. She lives in Sadiqabad; a city where resources and opportunities are limited, however, Aasia’s will to learn remains unrestrained. An international poetry anthology “Lyrical Dewdrops” published her poem “Oh My Loneliness”. Her poem “Infinite Sensation” is also part of an upcoming anthology, “Source of Peace” composed by Nigerian poets. She was also featured in The Kolkata Review for her poem, “My Destiny Is You”. Other poems written by Aasia that have made it to the international level include My Hunter (Create something for the future, USA), A Mourning Song (Sending love to moon), “Castilian memories” (Selected for poetry recitation in UK Dear John Show.) “Am I A Monster” (selected by director Paul Broderick to be converted into a poetry film at the Ó Bhéal International Poetry-Film Competition.)

Aasia’s poetry takes readers to a world where she asks questions and replies to them through deep introspection. She writes in her poem, Peacekeeper: When words are injured/And silence drowses in the dark of pessimism/With deep screaming/Even the breathing sound seems to be plagued. Her winning entry from the ALIF Poetry Contest exposes humanity’s dark side. She writes, in “Frigid human like frosty winter”: At some distance I witnessed/A group of people dancing and enjoying/With loud music and songs/But with a single blow everything changed in a fleeting moment/Dead bodies drenched in blood everywhere/No one stopped/My heart wept the tears of blood. Through her writing, Aasia reveals the craving of the soul to connect with another soul on Earth, to live in harmony and in peace. However, all she finds is a murky existence that she translates in words through her poems. In her poem, “Oh my Loneliness!” she pens her heart out. She writes, She forced me to welcome her again,/And asked me why I was sad/So she could get rid of my gloom,/And make me smile like a full moon.
