O life O death 1
Truth hanged on the wall,
Nails of evil secured, horrer
Wall clock running reverse to fall,
Stood I, infront of a miracle mirror/
Life on the stake of honesty,
Slipped on the hot frying pan, fish tasty
Crispy, crimpy, heartily loved by all
Ah: Honesty is the best policy, A false call! //
What death if life is useless!
What life if death is useless!
What tongue if word not spells
Heart is a hut where love dwells//
Unfrozen region of my mind
Where truth hid shivering
Bright starry stormy eyes
Under the evil coverings//

Brave Syrian
Surely it will end, the forty years theme
O, Syrians! Sacrificed or will sacrifice
The life for democracy, it won't go in vain,
I am seeing thy victory coiled by your dream.
Hands of humanity rose for supplication
For your success, be firm and strong, but I fear,
You should not kill innocent and will not create terror
After you succeed, it's against Islam
May Allah accept your meditation!
Islam neither needs Laden nor Mullah Omar
To intoxicate the society, they are created
By the enemies of Islam to defame,
I prithee! You will follow the Straight path
You should not be guided by the act of
Anti humanity "the barbaric way "
Sow the seeds of peace and harmony
To avoid the Heavenly Wrath//

War the nightmare
‘Tis not a holy war,
Criminals are fooling all.
No one is playing fair,
Haul, growl and foul....
Earth is no less a bower/
To keep own sovereignty
Making sky touching tower
And destroy others dignity/
Nothing is permanent in nature
Friend or foe or lover../
Yester year's fort
Today's dilapidated ghostly
Monuments my dear/
O Hiroshima and Nagasaki!
Thy agony is a historical cover
War is not a solution at all
Peace and peace, we must call
Disarm all, before the humanity fall/
Never seen animal making
A killing machine,

Labyrinth of life
River that flows ‘tween the two opposite ends
Dancing, singing, jumping Keeping ends apart,
Ends broke the abyss, amid the wave, left no ends,
Coincidentally, no ends and no river, all depart.
O River! The wave, " ye the curiosity of the ends".
Gigantism, the heaviness of thought dies into the salt,
Free from worries, all rose up to heaven and hanged,
Then slowly moved with roar and thunder that banged,
With cry, new life starts and the earth laughs with malt.
O Ocean! The womb, "Ye the fertile land that mends ".
You and me and the labyrinth of our thought coils,
Maimed with wave while on separation which spoils,
'As the nature so we are', all the same, O my love
Initially we were falcon on high cliff and later we were dove.
O maze! The thought, "Ye the labyrinth of life that spells"

He neither begets nor is born
Do I hear my inner voice
Or the voice of the legend? ...
Do I sympathise the subject
Or laugh on the cruel king of land? ..
Divided everything, everything
Do I accept a man who born and
Walked on this earth like us
A God, Khuda, Ishwar or Allah?
No, I can't do, Can't accept
Ya, I do accept with degree of difference.
Allah or Ishwar or Khuda or God is one
Who can be measured
Under these measures
'Say, He is one, The eternal refuse
He neither begets nor is born
Nor is there to Him any equivalent'
That's all, no other way to fall
He is not the son of Adam who create terror,
Lo! Allah loveth not the terror
Should not be forgotten,

On the cradle of peace
Melting magma inside
The Volcano of thought, restless to burst
The anger that got the weakest crust,
A dream beyond the dream, trust
The word kept in museum of lust,
Searching a dowser to douse,
The fire within us,
O! Dew from heaven! Save us,
O! Save us, Earth is burning
Unquenchable thirst,
Unfathomable desire we keep
Thought became the devils house
Innocent people are slaughtered
By the sword of colour, race and religion
Human being is standing abyss
On the platform of economy
Education policies have divided the society
In fact societies are being divided in two
Ruling class and the slave

Ages should be with me
What will you choose if you.........quoth he
My choice is not to keep mountainous age,
‘Tis my desire, 'Ages should be with me '.
..............Before the utterance of thought
Of the Palmist, gave my hand in his hand
With crabbed line and said, lo it has wrought.
'Ya, ............its Silver hand with moon's spot
But Fate...Ah! this line is..Right...self created
Lines! Sun, Mercury. Venus..Okay, but... The pot'
Sir, rays of your Eyes are very hot
Lest it should melt and mingle, please leave
Let me go now, have to work a lot.
'He defied, said wot, two life line..........
This is life line.....This is called sister line...
Ah, pines tree, you know, your life... Late shine '

Moon
I'm playing, I‘m climbing
I'm singing, I'm gossiping
I‘m dancing, I‘m dying
She is so close to me
My relation with her
Not new,
She is loved by all
Such a nice face she has
Ever young, ever youth
I loved her from my child hood
When I used to ask with my Granny
"Why she is always moving with me
Wherever I go, she goes with me? "
"She is a friend of yours.".
Now I'm not a Baby
That kid hid in me
Somewhere and lost
I can't disclose to thee//
Once in my dream
Where there is a mosque

Grassy tongue
Busy road, everybody is busy
To destination, home, office,
With set mind, nothing is seen
Except their goal, this is the story
About modern civilisation and
I am witnessing curiously to them
Standing on the pavement.
Suddenly, my eyes stuck up
At my astonishment, can't be told;
A lady with a suckling unmoved
Child is crying at full throat
Unaware, the mother was;
I think the cry was for the milk
And the lady, a mother half naked
Careless with the careless world
Fleshless, full Skelton like a x-ray report
A girl might be of age ten, twelve or so
Came by running and start feeding
Baby was silent for a moment
And then started beating the breast
