Irfan Habeeb’s Pen
What Do You Think of Being Apolitical?
I don’t back those who stay out of politics. But who stays out of it? There’s confusion about being political, apolitical, and taking part in party politics. People often mix up these ideas. Some folks think that those without any…
You are an overthinker
A whisper in your ear A hidden truth or lie A warning you must hear Before you say goodbye Your past, present, future Your mind is always sure Your pain is self-inflicted Your logic is restricted You struggle to escape…
The silent depths
In an endless ocean, some see a captain steering the waves, others see the sea charting its own course. Some believe the stars speak of a navigator, others trust the currents’ silent guidance. Yet, often, they ignore the deep, silent…
We write for ourselves
I’ve met those who spurn Dreamers and wordsmiths. They label us as losers, Mere souls who smoke and write. They assume we scribble for excess time, No duties, no tasks to bind. But why do we wield the pen? We…

You know..
You know, It’s not about religion, But humanity’s song. Don’t harvest the early seeds— They’re too young to understand Why they’ve been taken From this world. We are all helpless, I am, too—just like them. A singer of sorrow’s tune,…
Silent chains
