Afzal Shauq Poems

Fate be not the blame
nor time the aggressor
which did the beating.
It was me...
...

To whom this concerns...
Hey Shauq..!
Here everyone
ready to fight.
...

I feel
I am in love...

But with whom..?
...

I am haunted...
be it waking
or in sleep.
...

You wish
to see yourself
in the heart of others
like the flower
...

There...
Love enjoyed freely
Like fashion and make up
always changing
...

Hey you..!
You know the one
who is supposed to be
your second half,
...

Listen Oh Friend...

Pride strength and beauty
I will gladly tolerate
...

This is a city...?
look round...
A grave yard
houses...shops?
...

Pen in hand...
I place nib
upon your picture.
there to place
...
