Ahmad Shiddiqi Poems

at dawn you walked slowly upon blue glaciers
through all the flimsy nuance we felt at once
so eternal and so urgent you declared love
you seemed to me depend upon red glove
...

to my religion
most sincere
raka’ah
to do
...

(dedicated to Mr.Gustavo Dudamel, a great conductor)

people
animals
...

(dedicated to Mr. Ruerd Visser, apoet friend at poemhunter)

life shall be glad with surprises
wake up where the sun never sinks
...

(dedicated to L'arc en ciel, a great rock band from Japan)

ashita e mirai e
hito kakera no ai wo
...

(dedicated to people who curse terrorism everywhere)

They shot suddenly
Everybody shocked
...

(dedicated to Ms Seema Aarella, a poet friend at poemhunter)

I rise up rejoicing in sparkling evening
when I touch your pure heart
...

(dedicated to Sr. Gabriel Gárcia Márquez, a great storyteller)

In your heart are the birds, the breeze, the flowers, the lamb, the sunshine
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more, must glow, must flow
...

a lagoon of shimmering atmosphere
from above waterfall, come near
a parcel from storm bringer
just embellish wayfarer
...

topaz tiger
runs thunderingly
grasps fallen star
so alluring so amazing
...
