Muhammad Shanazar Poems

Beneath your curly lock
Your pedants shine,
They enrich more
The glow of your splendour,
...

Now destiny does not give a chance
To fathers and brothers, husband and son
To wail and weep over each funeral;
Good times have passed away
...

The explosives that snatched
Innocent laughter in an instant
From the frolic children,
Laughing and making acts of mischief
...

Bullets, bombs,
Missiles, rockets and stingers,
Though they are speedy,
Yet they cannot obliterate life,
...

After many days of constant shelling
And dropping of loads of explosives,
A gorgeous girl was rescued,
Out of wreckage of the city,
...

Everywhere stands Death as sentinel,
In the world
Becoming devoid of peace and love,
And the supporters of Death
...

O! The Dove of Peace,
You bear the branch of olive in the beak,
But you are in a state of war,
Sitting on the muzzle of cannon
...

You cannot win the race of progress,
While spending all resources on war
And playing a game with blood
Of innocent sons of the mothers, on the borders,
...

The world is busy in sports,
Stadiums are jam-packed with the spectators,
Their shout echoes in canopy of the sky,
Medals are being awarded to the winners,
...

(Written on the departure of 2014)

O! Residents of the world,
Happy New Year 2015 to you all,
...
