Let the light shine in.
Let me out of this darkness.
I'm tired of this pain.
I’m tired of seeing bars, with the bite marks
I made a week ago.
110 million of us, hearing the
sound of drills right before the shock.(“animal testing facts and statistics.”)
Feeling that cold needle right before it goes into
our body. Smelling our burning fur. Force-fed toxic fumes.(“Animal Testing and Experiments FAQ.” )
Pain before death. Pain for the beauty.
All this for what?
3 ounces of foundation.
From birth to death, it is a short road for us.
Never seeing the outside world;
never meeting the sun but instead the led lights shining
in the lab room.
please let us come in
Let us lay at your feet.
But yet there I lie infected and suffering. (Akhtar, Aysha.)
End this for us. There are better ways.

Jabeen apni kahin kham ho na jaye
Mizaj-e-husn barham ho na jaye
Bhuja to di meri sham-e-tamanna
Chirag-e-zeest madham ho na jaye
Suna to du tumhe afsaana-e-gam
Tumhari aankh purnam ho na jaye
Na dekho yun mohabbat ki nazar se
Yeh amrit hi mujhe sam ho na jaye
Zamana ke talawwun ko to samjho
Musarrat hi kahin gam ho na jaye
Hai taamer-e-hayat Akhtar isi se
Yeh dard-e-dil kahin kam ho na jaye

Garyae gam hai abas deeda-e-nam se pahle
Be haqeeqat hai musarrat jo ho gam se pahle
Aashna ho gaye is se bhi yehi kya kam hai
Sunte the naam-e-sitam tere karam se pahle
Hum ko ilzaam to dete ho mohabbat ka magar
Tumne mahsus kiya tha ise ham se pahle
(Akhtar Muslimi)
