Mahfooz Ali Poems

The battles, the anger
the hatred she shows
I still try so hard
to make sure that she knows
...

Because we are Indians,
We pray,
Because we are Indians,
We sing of joy and peace,
...

Isn't it funny
We've never been mad at one another
No fights
No disagreements
...

Somewhere in time
We fell in love
Our feelings were so strong
Stars sparkled up above
...

If I were you and
You were me
A different world
We each would see.
...

Looking to the future
Is like a suture
Closing the wounds of time
That we received while on this mountain of life we climb
...

Moonlight welcomes me,
gently embracing my dreams -
a beacon of hope in the darkness.
...

Oh India, India the beautiful
India where the bravery is fruit
Thy labour where is the smile from
Face is the inhabitant of the country.
...

Sometimes your survival,
Is like Sunday mornings,
And You own it
And I don't know it,
...

We shed tears when
We are sad.
We shed tears when
We are hurt,
...
