Sayeed Abubakar Poems

At the farthest corner of the world
There is my village small and smart.
Birds chirp there, farmers render songs,
Flowers sprinkle flavor all the year round.
...

Having soaked up her two eyes in tears,
The dying year said in a crying tone, 'Dear,
Adieu! The bell of my departure has rung.'
...

Meaningless is the song of a cuckoo
And the song of a dove;
Nothing is so much important
On earth but love.
...

The killers are killing--
Keep silent, dear.
With cold corpses, they are filling
The beautiful earth--Still make no sound, Dear!
...

I love Mexico; it's a land of love.
On its green trees nightingale, myna, dove
Sing songs all months. Its wind is wet always
With fragrance of roses. Its Sun gives rays,
...

I can recognize her if I see again.
Only I have forgotten her address.

Her sweet face, her blue eyes- I can remember all.
...

Bodies die of getting envious, seeing the happiness
Of two souls; the souls seem to lead the flowery life
Of fairies. Seeing that, bodies spread the sighs
Of hell into their eyes, lips and faces.
...

Look how the sun rises and sets,
Earth becomes heaven where man lives;
It is man who gets and forgets;
It is God who gives and forgives.
...

I asked him, ‘Tigers devour deer;
Why do deer live beside the tigers then? '

‘They will live beside the tigers; it is the doctrine.
...

From night to day,
Sorrow to peace,
Pride to courtesy,
Hatred to love
...
