Khadim Hussain Poems

The beast has the fangs of a Werewolf
The claws of a tiger.
It never rests, day or night
Once it scents it prey
...

Get up!
You’ll be late for school!
Did you wash your face?
Behind the ears too?
...

Any fool can write a poem
Some can even make it rhyme.

But it takes a genius
...

Aftab is the Best!
East or West
Aftab is the Best
Village Negyial, Mirpur
...

Which came first,
The chicken or the egg?

The age old question,
...

Fred Trueman,
England’s greatest fast bowler,
Is gone,
But not forgotten.
...

Dream the dream you lascars,
Sons of Punjab, North West Frontiers, Gujarat, Kashmir and Bengal
Sitting cross legged on a charpoy
In the shade of a banyan, feasting upon meals
...

Bonny baby boy
Jet-black hair
Hazel-brown eyes
Face of an angel
...
