Mehreen Tahir Poems

Once it was a garden of roses,
now just a pool of red blood.
Once it was a clear stream,
now filled with human tears.
...

It takes little to have the memories flowing again,

of all the events that shaped my life,
...

Enjoy the sun rise,
For tomorrow it may not come out.
Enjoy the fragrance of the fresh flower,
For tomorrow it may not bloom.
...

Look me in the eye,
when you reveal the truth,
rather claim to,
be the messenger,
...

The rain falls outside,
And my heart is like a raindrop,
It falls down,
It crashes into the deep darkness,
...

We wake up,
from the dark night,
to find the sun,
shining so bright.
...

The past is gone,
yesterdays flown away,
the future is to come,
tomorrow and another day.
...

I’m in flight to a land far away,
amid the clouds so icy and gray.
It is a feeling of freedom, of calm,
a feeling of pleasure, the nature’s charm.
...

As he heard the world talk,
about a possible war,
he went down memory lane,
and thought about the horrific past!
...

My name,
does not matter.
My religion,
makes no difference.
...
