Naveed Akram Poems

The saintly person next to me is as good as silk and shadows,
He risks no darkness, but light he fed into the hearts of men.

My bedroom houses the knight of supreme cleverness,
...

My hazard is a parcel for us to collect in the cold,
When wizards bite the skin of their own, in the cold.

My innocence resides in the head of my trustworthy soul,
...

He is hiding from me when I see him loving our family,
This hiding results in laughing, to find me, and the family.

It is busy in this hour of dreams, full of sleep I become,
...

Irreverent conversations connect to these people,
Their value of talking itself is never phenomenal.
Understand me when I speak, the posture also,
May two hearts mix to the exclusion of others.
...

The nationality of a man reigns supreme over present dangers,
A matron has admitted herself into the establishment.
One says significance beyond record, the doctor of heaven,
Dangerous surgery is the passive and the active.
...

Remove him from the role he imposes,
So that connections be made for those who propose;
A leader like that needs removal, for a time,
And then this exile has been with us
...

A tailor of your words has dressed you up
And your old speech, to make you better for it.
The release of relics is sacred, all this completion
Seems to question the authority.
...

The magnitude of a shape can be reflected by the shape,
This small animal of some use can argue with us.
Under the microscope it is delicate, and easily deformed
Into different behaviours to make it look living.
