saadat tahir Poems

Don’t you spit; words at us,
desperately now, you mummified cuss.
From your grave,
want to save.
...

(baad'e samoom... wo tazeeana ik lehad ka …urdu)

Just wanted to buy Aasma a doll!
If possible for Haider a plastic ball!
...

Cavort spin from side to side
puff away in my minds eye
careless from all time I bide
swirling robes like incense I
...

Have no space and no worth.
Shorn of grace, torn off mirth.

Lost we hands, left and right.
...

The hissing wind and the swishing sea
with a vengeance turns the wind to lee

Ragging sails, the ship is free
...

You are the softness of my life
my only refuge from hurt an strife

Alone my soul aches, cold as ice
...

Gone with the sun a million years
Ammonia clouds and watery tears
mother earth opens its womb
only to rest uncounted tomb
...

Fell in a dream munching heaven,
Left just one, did all eleven.

Dreamt of a castle made of cream.
...

Flecks of snow in those bushy brows
Glasses scarce perched on his nose

All day prays and thinks of his kids
...

bring ye one bring them all
bring them in bundles and also
on trailers extra large

dangling guns and turrets ripped
...
