Naveed Akram Poems

A little after noon a small piece of land
Was spied upon and subjected to treason
That lifted the tables to the air.
On board was another ship found laying there
...

The swift beat of the brain
Suffers no pain in its surprise;
The soul feels a dried pen of ink
When calamity befalls a flying leaf.
...

The mountain and the volcano
Had a mystery to solve,
And the forms of demise
Remained a mystery.
...

Now, God be thanked with outstretched hands,
Made sure by clear eye, and forsaken gesture;
Leave the hungry minds and the sick heads,
And all the emptiness of the love that we breed.
...

For me a helping hand to halve the pain,
The finger footed lovely creatures are at war
With fears and woes that scare a crawling crowd.
They have come in a time of need, frail and fair
...

More than any character
To be discovered by the men.

A demon to toil with alarms
From the major districts.
...

Never does the wind blow twice
In this way that it blows.
Many dearest friends are compelled
To inhabit the air with frozen attitudes.
...

Why do reasons say their mind?
The creams of the sacred river love
My abundant sight, as it swims from
This moment of joy to the instant of respect.
...

Let the men of this world succumb to virtues
Belonging to the wise extractors with tone;
The cartoons of the air shall recite
To the masses for support and details.
...

One document seals the deal that we learn,
Those who made money work in numbers
To alleviate the old battles and befriend each man
With news of the afterlife of our understanding.
...
