Rhythm Of Life! ! !

A mild smile is but a screen
vague and opaque
we find it hard to see through it
the mist of grief
though it persists in purer feel
and harder sense;
Life, in fact is a finer blend
of gloom and glee;
so this harmony in facts of life,
aspects of life
makes it quite liveable and lovable...

Professor! ! !

She
teaches us
and
scolds
our pulse
she strongly holds
her lessons
are so delicate
but
mode of teaching
intricate;
impresses us
with
stranger feats
often gives
surprising treats
with
watchful eyes
does always see
just few of us

Tease Me Not! ! !

Hold your speed
O wayward Wind!
Do not tease
My restive mind-

Maltreat not
These flowers fair
Subdue not
All feelings kind-

Know? i think
For someone whose
Eyes are bright
But heart is blind-

Don't disturb
The heart-sick men
Joy's something
they never find-

To Breeze! ! !

Play not with me O wanton Breeze!
enjoy with flower-laden trees...

speak! for whom you softly blow?
tell me whom you want to please?

my friends you know are far from me
but joys of friendship never cease.

impress me not by pleasant fun
I relish not your melodies.

I value your so fleeting glee
O jolly, gentle, morning breeze! ! !

Bagh-e-dil! ! !

Bagh e dil pur bahaar rakhtay hen
khud pe hum aitbaar rakhtay hen

wusaten aasman ki chhoo na saken
hum wo oonchha waqar rakhtay hen

wo hen kum zarf jo khizan me bhi
aarzuey bahaar rakhtay hen

kitnay nayaab hen jo dunia me
khwahishon pr mohaar rakhtay hen

be-panaah zarf he gulaabon ka
apnay daaman me khaar rakhtay hen

kitnay nadaan hen wo bashar jo sada
dil sar-e-rahguzaar rakhtay hen....

The Golden Phase...

Rhythmic,
calm and golden phase
of human life...
is student life,
with carefree days
and restive nights,
friendly moves
and harmless fights...
when eyes enjoy
much charming dreams,
when mind is free of all the pains,
all the losses, all the gains
when innocent heart
knows no laws;
but this fair phase so swiftly flies
and leaves the traces
on our minds
as the love of good, old days: -(

Limits

Don't fly
Butterfly!
stay a little and enjoy
tiny buds
and fragrant flowers
that's the only world for you
given by the Gracious God...
so don't try
to cross the limits
'cause you are too little to vie
with the blows
of mighty winds
so on your wings
don't rely...
'cause your pretty wings are made
just to roam
from
Flower to Flower
which are your limits
and Destinations

Thank God!

My carefree life
is full of charms
not perturbed
and really calm
with a kind of rest
extremely best...
so i enjoy it
round the clock
with mornings fresh
and evenings cool.
my eyes are full of finest dreams
my favorite ice cream- chocolate-cream...
and i am owner of Myself-
my likes are mine
dislikes are mine
and...furthermore...my Heart is mine
so Thank God i am not in love
thank God i am not in love...

The Wasteland!

these are fruits of aimless life
joyless days and sleepless nights

I live, like a wingless bird,
useless life in lawless world

t' strictly fall in loveless passion
'tis still new trend of fashion

like screaming silence here n there
hopelessness is everywhere...

lo! the thought in thoughtless silence
feel the pain in painless violence

that is too much i'm bearing
may God save me from this suffering...

I Wish!

Where are you?
where are you?
i call you
recall you
here call you my tears
i wish you were here!

where are you?
where are you?
i need you
and miss you
it's spring everywhere
i wish you were here!

where are you?
where are you?
i seek you
i just want to meet you
but you are nowhere
i wish you were here!
