Dr Sonia Sharma writes Indian romance and literary fiction rooted in Jammu & Kashmir.

Dr Sonia Sharma is an Indian author of literary and romantic fiction, based in India. She writes the Afterlife series — a multi-part psychological and emotional drama — alongside standalone works including Imperfect Lives, a short story collection, and The Battle Ahead, a novel addressing the human cost of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir. Her writing is available on Amazon Kindle India. She also publishes Hindi and Urdu Shayari, English verse, and free-to-read fiction on her website drsoniasharma.info.
A doctor by profession, Dr Sonia Sharma turned to fiction to tell the stories that clinical language could never hold. Her writing draws from sixteen years of listening to people — their fears, their longing, their quiet resilience. She writes in English, and occasionally in Hindi and Urdu, because some emotions refuse to stay in one language.
To leave behind an echo worth hearing.

Dr Sonia Sharma explores love, marriage, longing, and the quiet courage of everyday people. For readers who believe that flawed lives are the most honest ones.
Of the people who don't fit — and don't need to.
Martyrs are not just the people who give their lives to protect the sovereignty of their great nations, but also the dreams, dreams of those who stomach the enemy’s aggression at the line of fire, generation after generation.

वाक़या मेरी तहरीर का जुबानों का मोहताज नहीं
बस कुछ लफ़्ज़ों से कर ली है हमने यारी
कुछ बेशकीमती यादों, कुछ एहसासों और तज़र्बों ने
सजाई है हर कविता, हर नज़्म, हर कहानी हमारी।
कुछ को लगता है कि, वो कविता उनपर है लिखी
कुछ पाते हैं ख़ुद को मेरी कहानियों, मेरे अफ़सानों में
हर क़िरदार जुड़ा है मेरे सफ़र से, तो ढूँढ लो ख़ुद को
ये कहानियाँ जितनी हैं मेरी, उतनी ही हैं तुम्हारी।।
Waqya meri tahreer ka zubaanon ka mohtaaj nahin
Bas kuch lafzon se kar li hai humne yaari.
Kuch beshakeemati yaadon, kuch ehsaason aur tazarbon ne
Sajaai hai har kavita, har nazm, har kahaani humaari.
Kuch ko lagta hai ki, wo kavita unpar hai likhi
Kuch paate hain khud ko meri kahaaniyon, mere afsaanon mein.
Har kirdaar juda hai mere safar se, to dhoond lo khud ko
Ye kahaaniyan jitni hain meri, utni hi hain tumhaari..
My writing does not depend on tongues,
Nor on the language others choose.
I've simply made a home in words,
And found a friend I cannot lose.
Precious memories, quiet wounds,
Moments cherished, lessons earned—
They weave themselves through every verse,
Through every story I have learned.
Some believe a poem is theirs,
As though I wrote it just for them.
Others find themselves reflected
In the characters I pen.
For every soul within my tales
Was met somewhere along my way.
So search the pages if you wish—
You may find yourself one day.
These stories may begin with me,
Yet they were never mine alone.
For what is deeply personal
Often feels like coming home.
मेरे हुनर की इतनी फजीहत भी मत कर कि,
तेरे लफ़्ज़ो से तिलमिलाहट की बू आए।
जैसा भी है मेरा फ़लसफ़ा, मेरा तजुर्बा है
कहाँ ज़रूरी कि वो अंदाज़ तुझमें हूबहू आए।
वैसे भी, नकल तो मिजाज़ है इक प्रजाति का
हम इंसानों को इसकी ज़रूरत नहीं है।
सबके सफ़र हैं अपने, और एहसास अपने
तभी तो इसमें सच्चाई की ख़ुशबू आए।।
Mere hunar ki itni fazeehat bhi mat kar ki,
Tere lafzon se tilmilahat ki boo aaye.
Jaisa bhi hai mera falsafa, mera tajurba hai
Kahan zaroori ki wo andaaz tujh mein hoobahoo aaye.
Waise bhi, nakal to mizaaj hai ik prajaati ka
Hum insaanon ko iski zaroorat nahin hai.
Sabke safar hain apne, aur ehsaas apne
Tabhi to ismein sachchai ki khushboo aaye..
Don't mock my craft so fiercely
That bitterness seeps through your praise.
My truths were shaped by roads I've walked,
Not borrowed from another's ways.
My philosophy is mine alone,
Forged by lessons life bestowed.
Why must every thought I hold
Be mirrored on your chosen road?
Imitation may suit some minds,
But it was never meant for all.
We're human—gifted with our own voice,
Not destined to echo another's call.
Each heart travels a different path,
Each soul gathers its private view.
And that is why authentic words
Carry a fragrance false ones never do.
My collection of English poems - From a teenager Me to Now
आइना देखा ग़ौर से बड़ी मुद्दत बाद
चंद झुर्रियों ने मेरी ज़िंदगी बयाँ कर दी
कयी अनकही सी बातें, कयी अधूरे से ख़्वाब
कुछ छूटे हुए रिश्ते, यही सरमाया है मेरा।
