Aftab Alam Poems

(We All Are Same)
What whole world is –in front of Human?
Thrown from Eden that we all know-
We all are the luminary, under one lumen
...

When the autumn say, goodbye,
Then peeping leaves say, hello hi,
Readying -beautifying out of jar,
Charming spring stood a little far,
...

united: as sober as shroud,
Divided: colorful Rainbow proud,

O ephemeral, rainbow,

शह्जादे/ आफ़ताब आलम'दरवेश'

सीमाओ से ना बाँटो,
हम धरती के हैं शहजादे/

Every one willin' to be rich,
Why can't we try to be rich internally?
Ah! Poverty stricken mentally,

I am worried about the stain,
'A blood stain on my attire, '
That paints my mind and faith,
With painful strain,

Your eyes are everything for me,
Two shining eyes are my two suns,
You are the day, the dawn for me,
You are the evening, the dusk for me,
...

A village, a great village, surrounded by mountains,
Singing dancing brooks from womb of mountains,
With its flora and fauna and many-many fountains
Fragrance of its own kind diffused in air to hearts,
...

Once in a starry lit full moon sky,
I sat at seashore, enjoying the bliss,
Far from here, at the horizon, seen "kiss",
Earth and heaven hugged, stars melted in
...
