Akhtar Jawad Poems

Don't know how in a wonderland,
It looks like earth, its landscape
Amazing color and attractive shape,
All round I see a grassy green land,
...

My God!
one may know You for any other reason,
but I know you for your kind and lovely returns,
yes, I'm a selfish man!
...

Now it's over, the fatigue of the day,
sweats dried and muscles are relieved,
while coming back, the childish rains!
A naughty downpour that climbed from the back,
...

When I am dejected, frustrated and insane,
I look a way out in a closed dark lane,
And I don’t find a way out, I shout and cry,
My friend is a foe; she is sleeping on sky,
...

Mana ke roshini teri taron main lajawab hay,
Akhtar-e-sham bujh bhi ja aamade mah-e-tab hay.
Kaisi giran muhabbaten jane kahan lutai haiyn,
Akhtar yeh dil bhi aap ka bigra huwa nawab hay.
...

Sea-sons showered pains,
Injured knee on trousers stains,
Still thanks if it rains.
...

The trees who were dancing in the rains from the clouds,
Cut and put under sun and moon, without the shrouds,
Mercilessly seasoned in the hardships of the nature,
Wrote many stories before being mended in furniture.
...

Not important sweetheart what your brain concedes,
Important is the truth of your heart it feeds.
Not important sweetheart, how much knowledge you have,
Important is application when you sow its seeds.
...

The train is stopped on the outer signal,
Waiting for the green light,
The journey is about to end,
I am afraid to be checked and fined,
...

All your constituents are fragile,
Even your tears and the smile,
You dress your hairs as a work of art,
In the cage of fuzz you dream a heart,
...
