Naveed Akram Poems

My duty is for the dukes to falter,
My acts are numerous to follow,
And the skills of a generation are ripe.
My duties are instilled in the hearts,
...

I can light my cigar with frozen fingers,
Steel is bigger disgrace after waste;
But the buttons of this night and day
Are pressed by loving features of life.
...

I have a peace for the nights ahead,
The stars are dismayed by the routes
Of many planets always in the game of life.
Deathly planets form their different sizes,
...

If the the light entrances me,
Let it enter the folds of the earth
In this ground of some heaven.
The light has grown dim and dimmer,
...

I delayed the years of my life
For the fortunate one who livens
The mood with good doing.
He gathered wood, and fires
...

I told him dreadful lives on the move,
Squandering peace and living crimes,
Far-reaching lusts that disfigured the world.
I told him to shoot the agony of a man,
...

I want to fall into a river,
Fall into the deep end of its arm,
Grasp it before it grasps and sits
On my head that swirls into it.
...

I saw an apple being grim,
As long as the heavenly spread;
Not as soldierly as a grimace,
But the smile of a normal root.
...

The last day forbids you to invoke
Other deities of the strong cults,
A lingering hill is spent in journey,
Like the mountainous trek and dress.
...

The sense has to surround you with wet water,
That is the dimmest of news for a wanderer;
One way to forsake is dribble and ache with sight
That believes in itself with taverns of almighty light.
...
