'Surkh gulaaban day mausam vich,
Phulaan de rang kaalay.

(In the season of red roses,
These flowers are turning black.)'

Dur e Aziz Amna goes back to Pakistan, traversing its different regions before returning to New York, considering how language has shaped her past and how it might do the same for her children’s future.
