mazHur Butt Poems

Muharrif-e-Haq
...

What is cleaner-
Bathing inside a tub
or out of it?
How stupid to ask
...

One foot at a time One foot at a time
Move ahead but in rhythm and rhyme
The path is wet and slippery with slime
One foot ahead One foot at a time
...

BeAdab gustakh jab aulad ho jae
Chain sukh maa'n baap ka barbaad ho jae
...

محبت کا دعویٰ وہ کرتے ہیں ہم سے
تمنا مگردل میں ہے اورکسی کی
محبت نہیں کھیلکھلواڑ ہے یہ
سراسر شرارت ہے یہ دوزخی کی۔
...

Soulmate

Aren't we deceiving ourselves, sweet,
Calling ourselves as Soulmates?
...

Fish live in water
but never drink a dropp of it
But humans, Oh! they suck
how could they be
...

O my beloved!
Dying every now and again
in your yearning
is hard on me!
...

Released from the cage
kept in her captor's room
Robin thought she was free
but freedom never came to her
...
