Naveed Akram Poems

No stealing is allowed when you meet him,
The son of his is condemned for being him.
A thief is excellent due to poor health,
But when he is begotten, the wealth is contrived.
...

A hero is on the stage,
He lends a hand to the war.
One man to find a weapon,
Infidels manage death on him, the hero.
...

English reminds me of a language too bold,
Speaking this tongue is like a magical realm.
In this realm we spoke too audaciously and lovingly,
To be free and caring about the old, the very youngest old,
...

The river sways in time with us,
When it is too late the water gets violent;
Angrier, the river aborts the laughter
And fixes the wounds of the mouth.
...

Courage overtakes the self when in a rush or anxious struggle;
One fears, one dies and the courage is there to save the soul.

Beautiful courage creates a thought for the wayfarer,
...

What is his fascination in ams of love?
They move fast and slow with crawling feet,
Realising the religion of the outlying dove,
That cleaves and grieves for flight of an athlete.
...

It is quite uncommon for a friend
To commit many acts of obedience;
Fierce acts comprise the solid alleys
Of the thoughts we lust for and desire.
...

Twins of deathly courage embrace each other's arms,
Bravery enters their dying arms with deadly aims,
Courage has formed a collision of importance in the meanings,
These twins are your armies of throats and illnesses.
...

May winning be absurd to the lame,
A limp has beaten the way so often;
The paths too trodden are the fair,
Bent on land, the legs have trekked.
...

In the sky above one rests tonight,
Impossible stillness embarks on its
Journey to the night-sky, past the stars
Of milk and grease so pure and lovely.
...
