All that glitters is not gold
We face many truths and many lies
In our daily life,
But we always see the truth with doubt,
And we often believe lies around us,
For truth has no charm,
It's straight forward,
And sometimes utterly monotonous,
While lie has its own charm,
It's very seducing and attractive,
It draws towards it,
And we become its victim intentionally,
But after all
'All that glitters is not gold.'

An Umbrella
Saves you from the sun and the rain,
It also protects your skin from pain,
Your skin remains smooth and fine,
No rashes are there and no line,
Under it your body is safe and sound,
Seeing it your joy knows no bound,
But there is no cover on your soul,
You seem to be a man without a goal,
It's getting dirty day by day,
And one day it will meet its decay,
Tell me where is its umbrella?

A poem on Mother's Day
Makes you smile when you are in trouble,
Makes you cry when you atone for your sin,
Never deserts you when you are in gloom,
Leaves you alone when you need more confidence
To stand on your feet,
She keeps strict vigil on your deeds till you're a grown up,
Hurts herself and heals your wounds,
Fights back her tears and bids you farewell
To make you a Man.
Guess who is she?
-Akmal Nazir

Anger, an attribute of devil
As the white ant eats up the wood
Anger eats up thy wisdom
Bravery doesn't lie in taking revenge
It lies in checking thy anger
Anger is an attribute of devil
In anger thou forget the difference
Between good and bad
Thou art like a devil who is devoid of virtue
Anger keeps thee away from God
For he ignores thy sin howsoever grave it is
And wishes thee to ignore the infirmities of
Thy counterpart.

A word of affection
Will you stop me from being bad
By beating me
By depriving me of food
By suspending my fundamental rights?
Then listen, you are expecting the impossible
Howsoever hard you may hit
You will not be able to amend me
For you are worse than me
Probably worst of all human being
Only a word is enough for me to amend
The word of affection
Which you have lost somewhere
In the labyrinth of your false pride.

We should be thankful to Him at any rate
Delicious and gorgeous food
Clean and pure water
Are among His greatest blessings
For human being
Having them we should be thankful to God
We should never take our eyes off His blessings
The more we are thankful to Him
The more He will reward
But if he rewards us disproportionate to our thanks
If more
It is His greatness
If less
It is His
Prudence
In both conditions
He exhorts us to be thankful to Him.

In search of happiness
I walked a long distance
In search of happiness,
On the way there lay many turns,
Full of desires and temptations,
All of them were inviting and seducing,
But I ignored them all to cotinue my search,
When I approached quite near,
I realized it was nothing but a mirage
And somebody in me murmured,
Go and serve your old parents
And make a crying child smile
For happiness lies in serving humanity.

Man
He crossed the pathways of the moon and stars,
He arrested the rays of the sun
In his laboratories,
He got victory over land and sea,
But alas!
He couldn't travel in the realm of his own thoughts,
He couldn't spread light in the dark of his life.
He still starves,
He is still butchered
In the name of religion, peace,
And terrorism.
He is the softest target of Destiny
And his own
counterpart both.

Don't defame the name of friendship
I know your intention behind this ingratitude
You wish to destablize me to overtake me
All the riches that you have gathered
Around you is the result of our joint venture
You wish to eat up the whole
I will never prevent you from doing it
For honesty is character and character is honesty
You may even eject me from my place
And I will not raise an eyebrow
But I request you not to defame the name of friendship.

Love
Love is a source
To unite deserted hearts,
A source to recognize God,
A source to illumine character,
It lies in the fragrance of rose,
In the rippling of brook,
In the sermon of a saint,
In the innocence of a child.
It admits no barrier,
It denies region, religion and,
language,
It's impact is universal,
Love has it's own way
To accomplish the matters.
Anything which is devoid of honesty
Is not love.
