Aftab Alam Poems

We are dyeing, slowly, slowly,
Whole world is dyeing slowly, slowly,
Humanity is dyeing, slowly, slowly,
We are on death bed,
...

One of my friend gifted me a dog
I kept it, in my farm, to guide
Thought; What a lovely pet
My mind was completely set
...

How long should I weep alone and to whom should I tell my pain?
What we call peace! Whither it gone? My grief you are in loss or gain
‘Glory to be the Lord’ up to my last breath, among all we are the best
Among the creatures, we the supreme, this is a truth, not my behest.
...

Dreamt one day, a serene truth
There came an old man and put
His one of hand on mine and said
Come, won’t you see? My dear lad
...

Awake, awake O Bravo where you slept?
our Home burning, many a times we wept
When darkness becomes bright, humanity left
Ah! Doom of the day we accepted and kept
...

What life is, without strife for peace!
Will we remove the thoughtless fleece?
Ah! Freedom we need, aren’t we free?
Freely, we dream- heaven’s holy decree
...

Prisoner from Hell,
From inferno jail,
They broke the wall,
On earth, terror fall,
...

When hope dies, then what left?
I know my heart gained the cleft
I am burning with the flame of fire,
Ah! Am I such a disgusting liar?
...

The life of mine so disgusted-I'm frustrated,
Why poison poured within me-uninterested?
Ah! The game of life so heinous that we play,
Patience vomits virtue and vice slay, slay, slay…
...

O dancing death..
From where do you come?

I fear to hear the word peace!
