Javeria Aslam Poems

Life is just a way;
To pass time but in pray.

Life is not ample, that to waste;

I'm recalling the days you sent us feed my Lord,
Now we are ruthlessly killed and bleed my Lord!

Once we lived and once we ruled but,
...

The village of unrivalled wonder;
Is probably none else than my own;
Ravished by beauties of it, my woes fall asunder;
Caressed by grammy and grampy, I'm loved when I bemoan.
