Akhtar Jawad Poems

I felt her fragrance from a distance
and then my love brought her close,
her delicacy,
her colors
...

You locked small ventilators,
You locked all the glass windows
and you locked even the thick wooden doors.
Neither will you let anybody in
...

I see her, I feel her and I touch her,
I love her but she does not exist,
She always comes to wipe my tears,
When I am unhappy with the truth,
...

The childhood friends who played many games,
Never played a game that may cause the shames,
Completely unaware with the naught of nature,
The joy destined and blended with a pleasure,
...

Follow me old man,
Follow me if you can,
The black children,
The white children,
...

Too careless what's going on all around?
Although in a cage she is kept and bound,
The couple is not free and cannot fly,
When she sees other birds in the open sky,
...

Don't say good night,
See the full moon,
It's soothing and bright,
It's cold on the skies,
...

Thandak subha ki khanjar,
Har shay pe khamushi hay,
Chadar kohar ki odhe,
Qudrat ki apsara bhi,
...

Is there a place for minorities?
Insulted maltreated here and there,
Hated and killed every where,
Deprived of livelihood and amenities,
...

No Sir, I regret,
I can't fight this war,
This is not the age of chivalry,
When decisive was cavalry,
...
