Muhammad Shanazar Poems

One dark night a man with thick moustaches,
And bulky body, sable faced, smoking clay pipe,
Occupied my residential plot, a sheltering place
Which gained I with long labour and toil of life.
...

Moving statues with heads brainless,
Clean cloaks, and dresses stainless,
With heavy drooping sleepy eyelids,
And heartless flesh, bulky bodies,
...

Realities baffle me,
Distract me the facts,
When I ponder over,
Whether,
...

Ah! I do know the winds shall blow,
And the same old Titanic will me row,
To the distant promised harbour,
Where were placed my dear parents,
...

In the early years of my flavoured childhood,
Could not I differ between an evil and a good,
And went to the forest afar with my age fellows,
To collect, to gather the dry sticks or fire wood.
...

Yesterday morn we blossomed,
With the brave show of colours,
And shades dark, deep and dim,
Combined with fresh tenderness;
...

How sometimes strange demands emerge,
In the curious mind, and heart urges,
To explore unknown curtained truth.
...

Youth time dream like slipped away,
Sweet scented memories still lay,
In my mind, of childhood, of innocence.
...

When I was mischievous and playful,
My dreadful uncle made me afraid of dog,
Soon I became horrid and pale,
My mother sheltered me in her lap,
...

I was beaten with a stick,
Long, thin and wet,
For doing nothing ill.
As the coach-man does,
...
