Akhtar Jawad Death Poems

Mama Cat! Mama Cat!
Who you are afraid of?
How helpless you are, and we too!
He is the one you can't write off!
...

I was born ignorant
what if I die in my ignorance?
With ignorance I came
with ignorance I shall go back.
...

I never knew he is going to die,
He never, but his soul will fly,
The beautiful male born in a cage,
Now you will fly in the blue sky.
...

You gave food to me when I needed food,
you gave water to me when I needed it,
you touched my head and played with my horn,
I still feel your palm on my neck and on my back,
...

The smile of dying and fading leaves,
is giving a message to the humans,
facing the hardships in the sun,
I felt hunger of others,
...

You blamed Iraq of having chemical weapons
you attacked and destroyed Iraq
the land where glimpses of the ancient civilization
still appear as remains of the flowers
...

Is it kindness? Still the nature feeds one,
Not needed by and not important for anyone!
To listen to the beats of a broken heart
Nobody is there with one except one's past!
...

I am sure someone listens to me,
but I don't listen to and I don't see,
Alas! I don't know who he is,
but I think of him, so he should be?
...

When a day closes its door for me,
with smiles of aurora,
she comes in a windows,
with a comb in her right hand,
...

Intezar - Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Aana to tha sooraj ke sang, chand ke sang aa jao sathi,
Sara din to tadpa hoon main, sham ko na tadpao sathi,
Subah ka bhoola sham ko aaye to bhoola kahlata nahin,
...

Close my eyes with tears of thankfulness,
Open my blocked arteries that stop the flow,
Open my heart with a flower of forgiveness,
Make my blood a carrier of the molten glow!
...

Just like all other journeys and pleasure trips,
Just like all other drinks and tasty sips,
A sea of refreshing water and his dips,
A new born baby in a cradle of flips,
...
