Muhammad Shanazar Poems

Today after a long time,
I address you,
What for? I don’t know.
What should I say? I don’t know.
...

Just now I have got up,
My body is strengthless,
Exhausted, fatigued,
Each joint imparts me pain,
...

This night is as cold
As the load of corpse
What should I say where has gone the sleep;
New tiles are fixed inside the house,
...

My heart wishes,
I should run away,
From the shroud of darkness,
Far away from the native land,
...

The blind dungeon of the sleep
Waits with jaws ajar,
The scorpions dance in the fire,
The river of pain is in flood,
...

The night has spread a sheet
On the shrine of silence,
The falling fruit of neem is producing the Raag of Bhatyar while hitting the roof of clay-tiles;
On the camps of moonlight,
...

Late at that night,
She came at my door,
I could not behold her,
She spoke something with a voice subdued,
...

The monsoon came, the days dispersed,
But there had been load upon my chest,
As snow becomes a load on the mountains,
The load that does not permit stones to breathe,
...

(A dialogue between Raja Jink and Rishi Ya Golkia)

At the night brightened with full moon,
The universe was on ecstatic move,
...

On the soggy bench of a park,
A feeble elderly man in silence,
Was looking to the sky with wide opened eyes.
...
