Afzal Shauq Poems

' As much as
desire evil for others
require good for yourself'
...

Never Yes
Never No...
Always avoiding my question
...

At last tiring...
time consuming the struggle
the search for the true face
the ideal of my dreams
...

Now...
The beauty of life
fade into dreams...
...

The one,
who owns me as beloved
and proudly mentions that
...

All wish for change...
to escape this life
or run toward something
perhaps freedom...
...

I believe
without doubt
your vow of love.
...

I am keen
to take rest
under a tree...
Oh the cruelty,
...

So many times
I caught your eyes
stealing glances...
...

Stepping out in faith
through the rough desert
of your hard heart
seeking love's drink
...
