Naveed Akram Poems

Wisdom is like a number too bright, too river and sea,
It reminds us of God, to be polite and good and merry.
This living of excesses results in pain, but what is the suffering?
Learn this way and that but there is no happiness without pleasure.
...

We die and cherish for all those involved,
I have blessed the money and wealth;
This is my partner and solid gold for all,
I can see obscurities whilst I walk.
...

When you walk along a flight occurs after fighting
And wounding another animal, duty has you in the way.
These minor points of distinction remade you,
Jutting out are rocks of hard weight and shape.
...

Going to the edge of the world,
I learn of better notions and motions;
Jutting out are rocks so rickety and strange,
The universe is strange to the touch.
...

An union has appeared before my eyes,
Sight yells hard health, due to heavenly hearing.
My amalgamated spirits are due to the words forming,
Collapsing and disintegrating like paper burning
...

Distil this sadness at the heart of your thought,
Offer kindness to yourself if the worry is affected.
Unfinished business remains too bought,
By the dragons of conjecture, awful not grand.
...
