Naveed Akram Poems

My boy turned a page trying to prove
That ever since his bottles and spirit
He had grown old and sufficient,
Like the pages of my binder.
...

Why is it
that I no longer love
your boots?
Never care for me
...

Stride across the lake and stroll across,
Placing your feet where there is nothing;
Water attaches itself to humans. Humans learn
To swim, and be happier with effervescent liquid.
...

I have learned too much from the soul
That I have seen the Creator,
The Lord of all that exists:
He shares my life as if nobody begets Him,
...

I am on a chase
In the names of your oddity;
Retort the armies of pleasure,
A service has eliminated me.
...

My promise is to God for goodness
Is seen. It is muttered on the tongue,
Released by the heart, as it sways
To the bridge of eternity we cross.
...

I have flummoxed the description of thoughts
That the painting established by pasting my own;
I chuck like a knock my fist at the clock of ringing,
Time innovates its executants who hew the place.
...

Leave us with love to join us,
Music and song realises our design;
The whole sceptre of education
Aids my longing for a brighter future.
...
