Akhtar Jawad Poems

I looked at the distant galaxies,
I looked at the distant suns and the stars,
I looked at my own sun and its planets,
I looked at this wonderful earth,
...

Keep her in your dreams,
with appealing streams,
with her cuts and curls,
with her diamonds and pearls,
...

Having thousands of gardens,
Having millions of flowers,
Is the city of gardens!
With wise learned wardens!
...

Carefree of theft!
See him from the left,
See him from the right,
In a moment of delight!
...

For a heart in love the life is a boon,
A glimpse of beloved is a glimpse of the moon,
Waiting for hours in emotional tide,
The lover when thinks to commit suicide,
...

I cannot cure you in your pains,
I cannot relieve you of your strains,
I cannot set aside injustice,
I cannot remove this centuries old malice,
...

She comes in the room through closed windows,
A flying fairy from eternal meadows,
From the milky way With crescent in eye brows.
An athlete of nature who very well knows.
...

The hunter is lost in a wild forest,
It’s a moonless night,
Trees are dense; He can’t see the stars,
Beats of his heart by second and second,
...

"It's too cold Mom and I am hungry!
We have no blanket, no bread, and no water.
Why it's so?
You told me there is a God and He listens to all,
...

This world is merely a Venus' Flytrap,
In birth and death is a moment of gap,
Life is the petals that act like bars,
All living things are prisoners of wars,
...
