Below The Surface Poem by Prof Niamat Ali Murtazai

Smooth and safe looks the solid surface
Who knows what is below it perhaps.

Trees and mountains raise their heads
No doubt below the surface lie some beds.

At once some storm comes and shakes
To straws what wise labour in weeks makes.

Into rivers flow high buildings and palaces
No one knows why Nature has such malices.

Behind eyes surface counless worlds live
But tongue to them seldom words give.

Heart is a treasure of secrets unknown
Misinformation often gets renown.

Below the calm waters wells are gapping
That do not appear on watchful mapping.

Above the skies eyes can't cast a glance
No one knows the pleasing romance.

Glittering metals are not always gold
Though they have shine sharp and bold.

Time looks like a smooth surface ground
In fact a thick jungle with fierce hound.

Ups and downs often lead us down
Kings are beheaded alongwith the crown.
