Naveed Akram Poems

The zooming vision of this vehicle of death
I call a car: one of the latest inventions
Of an era that seeks living and learning of death
And life. Properness shall lead the vehicles to heaven
...

The blanket and a book, what is there?
One you sleep in, one you share.
Enough water and ice in the making,
Giving some of the bellyaching.
...

Entertaining is a toy, full of joy,
Mightn’t it rain with cosy friendship.
Bawdy words come along on the day we met,
Uncouth manners lead astray the very gaiety.
...

Force us into abidance, in a just state,
So then peace reigns at the night of the day.
Sustain the godly tongue of doom,
It injures a mighty swordsman.
...

Vulgar youngsters have bright approximations,
Approaching the hazards of animations,
Bring about older versions and intimations.
Volumes of literature arrive at proclamations,
...

The ticket was sold, in the soil of waters and roots,
Profiting from the sale of plants, a real awakening.
The gardeners travelled to a gathering so great,
Locomotion no problem, making progress against the weeds.
...

Wisdom carried new meaning, a wonderful weapon,
To be used by the diligent and troubled.
Wiser men see a page of writing and speak,
Causing us to be delighted by their speech.
...

A thief leaves his house like a mansion,
Treading the road he owns under his feet.
The servants of the kingdom are here
To entice a man with food who pays.
...
