Naveed Akram Poems

Music of the heart sounds in the orchestra
For others to judge according to taste;
The pumping of blood made you nearly ask
For the music to stop and make farewell.
...

One fairy arrived at the scene with flowers,
Two children made friends with the fairy;
On this dark day a crime had been committed,
Brotherly people should not have false allies.
...

I am magic, I am a singer of great grade,
One borrows from time the immense music
That is played all-through and connects it
With the life of eternal happiness.
...

Mourning and lamentations cause us to shudder,
The crying is awake, a large man shakes our understanding.

The weather is hazardous tonight, the night shall make us blind,
...

When death came to a woman who leapt from a bridge,
Her husband leapt into grief, and was surprised by her act;
“Help me sleep! ” he cried, “Help me overcome this grief! ”
...

My mind has displeasure
From what occurs inside the heart.
The mind completes its thoughts
When the soul has accomplished.
...

A new height has been achieved
By the tall men and tall women,
The people of the book that was raised
From the grounds of the school.
...

This faint page of letters shines after a light is entering its layers,
For the thin pages of this book chime in silent manner when folded.
Then the knowledge of the authorities all-mentioned climbs to completion,
Beautiful thoughts and remedies are transferred to our minds and eyes.
...

You know the one who lifts stones and pelts the strongest of men,
And you have heard of ruinous giants stalking their prey with menace.
The stray dogs barking crazily at the giants and strong men
Are being killed, being slaughtered, like the killing of the troops.
...

There’s a star in this world, around it all
Or is the moon and sun a feeding ground.
The singing has a death, monstrous energy,
That died last year and waved at the crowd
...
