Naveed Akram Poems

Learning is the joy of life and living, its pleasure excites the mind,
Stimulating the heart as an intellectual exercise, an act of the mind.
My learning is precious to my soul, its philosophical premises
Compete with different thinkers of renown and difficulty and truth.
...

We must enter the country called Life,
We must demand a remedy to the current pain,
Our solution is welcome to the other side.
...

The matrix is going, it desisted dutifully,
You just popped into the head of hurt;
A film finds another film of favours, it is
Moving from scene to scene, a sequel
...

You dream so beautifully in your sweet mind,
Your cares benefit the other souls of Paradise,
But those who find fighting and distress, abhor you.
...

It is the change inside that matters,
All paths lead to tragedy except the mind.
So avoid thinking, and build a heart,
Wherein is found the fruit of the search.
...

Amulets are prized for their handsome appearance,
Your mind is boggled by it all, collapsed and abandoned.
It is fear, fear of cats and dogs that makes resounding gestures
And complains continuously like talkative twins.
...

Poverty is hideous and nevermore, its hand creeps
Into the heart of the body that you possess,
Riches bitterly combats your proclamations,
Rich men starve at the feet of their kindred,
...

I found a central apple tree, cold air stung the brisk
Light air, liking the best of times, losing the life.
My house had flowers of furniture, when the money
Of the distance surrounded me with people of time.
...

Let the beautiful one be a sign for the distressed,
Call those with beautiful arms and be carried;
By amiable people we have fair weather and times,
Their beauty is shone to the clouds very far away.
...

My standing is on the sighing street, lacking health and vitality,
Its hideous warmth caresses me with whiteness and height.
The poles are apart, taller buildings contaminate the air once more,
Taller, dreary clouds flamboyantly curtail the crazy skies.
...
