Akhtar Jawad Poems

If you don't know me,
If you don't love me,
You haven't created me.
I am a bye product,
...

Time of parting is approaching, it's close,
eyes ready to snap for the heart your pose,
that's all I need, you have turned your face!
Come back sweetheart you know your place,
...

The inherited genes speak,
and play an important role
to change a child in a grownup man,
but it's not our heart that loves or hates.
...

Fielding at the slips he held a few catches
but at the covers he dropped all the catches,
at the extra covers he held the wining catch.
I am not aware of any ball tampering by him,
...

Innocent, ignorant and sentimental crowd thinks
its opinion is the king maker,
they don't know during the era of later Mughals,
these were Syed Brothers who played the role of king makers.
...

Ninety nine times it all ends well
but between one and hundred
there is a number
at which the pendulum of probability is interrupted
...

(Thanks to Marie Shine whose post inspired me to write this poem)
Oh sad bird! I am feeling your pain and I forgot mine
I shall let you know how beautiful she looked here dreaming
Feel my pain and forget what has been hurting your heart,
...

"The Poet Poet" is your pen name,
but what's your real name
and who are you?
I asked a flower, "Who is this man? "
...

The restless nightingale sang sweet songs
She was alone and her songs were sad
Her songs sounded sweeter than the bells
Missed something, knew only what she had.
...
