Naveed Akram Poems

Parties are designed to cause death,
Yet life is spoken and poison not taken,
For the number of spies is immense
In the whole world.
...

To travel and find a sensible person,
Is the task of a scout who wants to converse.
His job can mean several wonderful pursuits,
One he chooses out of these.
...

Stable is under authority a wise country,
For a better work collapsed into mere beauty.
Hatred was better to pick on Earth,
As for love I preside over it, like it.
...

He laid a hand on the elbow as for now,
Again and again they felt like low,
Yet never did the angering fellowship concoct,
A mighty redness like blood, like flood.
...

To discover the path that is straightest,
Look at the deliberate verses sacred and clear;
What do they say when heat is added to stares
From constructive peoples, from civilised seas of grass?
...

I am the way of the wars and words that empower
The established medium, the critical men are me.
My own transaction is of seeing and memorising,
Of reading and reciting, like an ox or deer.
...

I observed the heavens and expected God,
Between my hips was a lower power of dread.
I saw an object of an exemplary nature, far too solid,
Like the space between the Moon and the Earth.
...

I must give an atom to my friend who is my age,
I agree to this attainment, as I praise the goings-on.
Fate is a tough provider, for the arms are empowered,
The legs keep sacred blessings as the roar begins.
...

It matters not how I find the chairs of cheering ladies,
In the clutch of grinning and gaining lads and lasses.
I have not grimly answered the kings whose touch
Replies to ancient accents, to steady stares and awe.
...
