Dr Shamim Ali Poems

In the land of Chitral there is Kalash,
Where the mountains rise and the rivers splash,
There lived a girl with eyes of green,
The most beautiful sight I have ever seen.
...

The Month of December
In Quetta city where snow abounds,
December came with icy sounds.
A winter's chill, so sharp and clear,
...

Snowflakes dance in the winter sky,
A beauty that catches the eye,
Each one unique, a work of art,
Etched in water's dreams from the heart.
...

I miss the snowy night of Quetta,
When the world turned into a magical vista,
Watching from my window with delight,
As snowflakes fell from the sky all night.
...

Spiritual love, a love that transcends,
Beyond the physical, it never ends,
A connection to something greater than self,
A shared understanding, a spiritual wealth.
...

My Tanya, fair and bright,
Your beauty shines with radiant light,
An epitome of decency, a symbol of piety,
Your grace is like a summer's breeze, so easy and free.
...

In the name of Allah, the Most Kind, the Most Merciful,
Our hearts are filled with gratitude; so beautiful.
For Allah, the Lord of all the worlds we praise,
And seek His blessings in every possible way.
...

You raise your arms high
You twirl and twist on your toes
You slowly turn it about
You dance for contentment and pleasure till the candle blows out
...

I am a small fish, floating in a crystal jar
Feeling miserable that I'm in a different place
I don't know how to pretend everything is okay
When in my little heart I know it's not
...

Oh, how my heart is stirred
By the mountains' mighty allure,
Their tangible, colossal form,
And the bracing air so pure.
...
