Kamaru Zzaman Poems

O, my Old Guard!
Life is swollen on your intrepid face
Your eyes tell the stories of many wars.
That ravaged soil of your distant land lies barren
...

The sky never appears big
When you leave my love behind my back
You rest drowned as ever in your empty world
Your footsteps fumble in all corners
...

Everything is light beyond darkness
Sights and sounds come alive in beautiful flights
Nothing and nobody remain prisoned in this vast expanse
Beautiful things are equally distributed in all somgs and verses
...

O, the birds of the sky
O, forest-dwelling sage of the north
Give us wisdom, give us the knowledge of the breadth of the sky
We will chase the depth of the ocean with our shadows falling back
...

No more shall there be any life
No more shall there be any wind
All the birds have shed their wings
Flowers have shed their petals
...

For you only I love, for you only I hate
Decide you are not a Prophet
Decide you are not a God's reject
It is more I love, all the more I hate.
...
