Akhtar Jawad Poems

Oh End! Where are you?
And if you let me know,
You are there,
I shall ask what after that?
...

Life that she sees in prettiness of colors,
Life that she feels in fragrance and odors,
Life that is beauty in the golden cuts,
Life that is same in the palace and huts,
...

Calm my friend, the sky is fighting the unfriendly dark,
Don't come in the way of a deadly shark.
The seas and oceans are knitting a net, for the giant evil,
Soon you will see the end of the dominant devil.
...

Qurbaten faslon mein badal to gaeen yad lekin na dil se nikal pai hay,
Ishq ka rog hay husn ka sog hay yeh tabiat na ab tak sambhal pai hay.
Maine koshish bahut ki magar keya karoon zindagi dheere dheere na chal pai hay,
Chal chalao hay is zindagi ka magar teri chahat na dil se nikal pai hay.
...

After many years of separation,
I was once again standing,
to feel the fragrance,
of my loving sweet heart.
...

Far very far in the deep blue oceans,
Often over washed by tides of emotions,
Where there are buds and colorful flowers,
Always cloudy and wet with the showers,
...

You smile sweetheart many flowers sprung,
Wordsworth and Shelley and Keats are sung.
Tide of beauty brings out many pearls,
Ugliness sweeps out like dirt and dung.
...

You say don't celebrate a Valentine Day,
Do you love my friend a Serpentine Day?
A day on that the schools are attacked,
Innocent children and teachers are sacked,
...

Continuity has its own strains,
A frozen life has so many pains,
Rising early in the morning,
Initially it was charming,
...

Ek sache dost ko main dhondhta hoon,
Jisse apne dil ki baten sab kahoon,
Woh ke jispar main bhaosa kar sakoon,
Dost aisa, dil se acha main kahoon,
...
