Tajudeen Shah Poems

Entered the dense wilderness;
Huge trees mantled together,
Seem to reach the sunless skies,
And their tender leaves turn
...

I have seen, rather known
My village with her serenity for ages.
Generations cared her well enough,
Maintaining, adoring and preserving
...

Flood waters gushed in!
No trace of grass could be found,
Except a few grass-woven roofs,
That too remained shedding tears!
...

Parts of earth at times
Remain in deeper gloom.
Lamps of humble breed
Emerge in place of need.
...

The Mass,
A Messy Class.
Classic Art,
A lofty line.
...

How was he trapped in his own web,
Which was woven with silken skills,
Tested and proven since ages,
With a core from his own cells?
...

Aging is not sitting and settling in silence,
Nor is it wishing to be in tranquility.
The wonders one experiences, when
Seeing youngsters full of craving
...

Angels from Light,
Satan from Flame,
Man from Dust,
Unto dust he ends!
...

Eskimos live on caribou,
Fish, berries, whales and seals.
Hard biscuits and tea warm ‘em
Other than what had from nature.
...
