Akhtar Jawad Poems

Fire is extinguished but the ashes are hot,
Nature writes a story with the same old plot,
How naughty is she with a coin for the slot,
...

“I know the art, how to win a heart,
Off course, it should be a heart,
That beats on the waves of music,
May be of a maid who is dancing with me,
...

Being fed-up of the books of ethics
I think I have wasted my valuable time.
As I knew before reading of these books
that,
...

Leaving large oceans for the large whales
O you the proud elephant! Largest on the land,
You look amazing sleeping in a standing position
Pity on you, when you fall you never stand!
...

I am a killer,
Yes, I have a slow poison,
It is pollution,
I have polluted the air,
...

Oh Moon! What made you starring!
At my old weak arms!
Why the moon light converged,
At my chest with its charms!
...

I am a particular man in a particular moment,
Next moment I'm changed, still a man but different,
Confined in a nation of a broken continent,
O earth! I imagine you as a singular piece of land.
...

You are sitting on the bank of a lake,
Engaged in fishing and smoking with silence,
You are not interested in a particular fish,
Depending entirely on your fate for the day.
...

Anything artificial does not help at all,
Artificial cooling lacks nature's call,
Kissing and embracing the sweating sweetheart,
Keeps me so saline whole day her salt,
...

Let my beloved be buried alive with me,
In a grave of silence and dark solitude,
Where there is no latitude and no altitude,
Where there is no concept of the word "nude",
...
