Naveed Akram Poems

The best of the people are among the few,
Heaven creates a space for the ones who love;
Inside this sanctum so like a happiness
Resides a gauntlet and dress to guard it.
...

Who are we?
Are we humans that have made ourselves provisions?
The hierarchy results in collisions
And we are unique, in the way we were.
...

The bottomless pit is ceasing to be alien,
A championship arrives to be a good play,
Playing is like childhood in a thought,
Playing with me as a ball-game will grow.
...

Force is the absence of thoughts,
Inside this pressure is a precious nature.
May forceful men be absent and free,
An obscure effect has been achieved.
...

Calamity is the sin of eternity,
Killing is the art of this sin.
Jostling my shoulders, the people
Are a crowd so rowdy
...

Creaking crushed me when I spoke,
A civil chain chased my law of beliefs.
The eminence of a scholar spoke one day,
This denouement from a man was outspoken.
...

I am a bystander, a spectacle myself,
Who harms only when desired, fully desired;
I keep a stout opinion, after the love of another,
Minor opinions are aroused, after the love of people.
...
