Matloob Bokhari Poems

LET US WORK TOGETHER
Let us work together to light power of love in hearts
To make world as beautiful as slopes of paradise hills.
Let us work together to make ourselves as truthful

WATER IN DESERT
MATLOOB BOKHARI

Life is not possible to survive without water.
...

WINGS OF GOD
I saw a soaring and dancing bird
Joyfully singing his Maker's praise
The mid-air flying bird was soaring
...

There is always madness in love. There is always no reason in this madness. Love can fly from Paris to Baluch Mess Abbottabad only to have a cup of tea. Truth is that Love is blindness. Love is madness. Love is sweetness
...

DO YOU REMEMBER?
Do you remember the night, we walked hand in hand?
Do you remember the sound of your rhythmic steps?
Do you remember the hearts filled with loving dreams?
...

A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
In a dream, I am where meadows are in bloom,
Where days are full of spring flowers
Nights are packed with incense burning tables
...

KINGDOM OF GOD

Where God builds a house of prayer with mud for peace
There Satan makes a house of prayer with gold for war.
...

WINTER NIGHT
In a melancholic wintry night,
Howling wind, bitter darkness,
Lying in gloom, dark dismay,
...

PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE IN ISLAM

Air Cdre (R) Matloob Bokhari
...

THE PROPHET OF LOVE

The wife of Imran was a barren and sterile woman
Hannah prayed to God to bless her with a child.
...

AN ODE TO TRUTH
Wind is whirling, air is swirling,
Rocks are ringing, mounts are singing,
Nothing lives long, nothing shines long,
...

APHRODITE

Muhabat was an artist who loved his work.
Someone had given dreams to his dream.
...

When a man attains ultimate awareness through the power of contemplation, his soul hankers to soar to meet his Creator and body clings to the garden of earthly delights. Here the real dilemma of life starts for a sensitive mind. Matloob Bokhari

THE VOICE OF WOMEN

Country: Pakistan
In the quiet dawn of history

I HAVE SEEN YOU
Matloob Bukhari
O baby!
O sweet baby
...

*I WILL DANCE*
*by Matloob Bokhari*
Country: Pakistan
*O masterpiece of nature's art! *
...

THE BROKEN WING
Faraz, on a hill top in the wooden dell,
Saw Durkhanae, shepherding a herd of sheep.
Her green robe, a veil of red linen round her head,
...

MY PLACE IS PLACELESS
My Love
You are more beautiful than the pearly luster ofthe moon
You are more bright than the shiningstars
...

IF I DON'T LOVE, I HAVE NOTHING

If I Don't Love, I Have Nothing
If I worship more than arch angel but don't love
...

AN ODE TO LOVE
Love resides in the temple of a loving heart,
Both live together in a room, very small,
Eat, drink, dance, play and pray.

Matloob Bokhari Biography

My name is Matloob Bokhari. I served in Pakistan Air Force and retired as Air Commodore. I have done Masters in English Literature, Masters in TEFL and postgraduate from university of Birmingham. I have taught at PAF Academy, Risalpur and King Faisal Air Academy, Riyadh. I retired as ACAS Edu from Pakistan Air Force. In recognition of my services, I was awarded Khitab e Shukar Wa Takdeer by Royal Saudi Air Force and Sitara E Imtiaz Military by Pakistan Air Force. Raised in the haven of beauty and music, I passed my childhood, the days of wondrous curiosity, in a small village, Bhatiot - a mystical land of Shah Fateh Noor Bokhari. In the sweet summer nights, it was my dearest pastime to sit aloof gazing at the moon trailing behind the fleecy clouds. The beauty and mystery of the sky, flushed with brightness, developed in me a pensive mind. During long winter night muffled in mysterious silence, the whistling wind passing through the recesses of window and the symphony of raindrops falling on the roof-top in the quiet night gave new hues to my imagination. In the valley of fauna and flora, I heard the songs of the birds, the whisper of cool breeze, playing with grassy fields and the blissful solitude in hot summer mountains taught me how to hear the unheard sounds of the nature. Dreams, the greatest gift of heaven, provided me the soothing pleasure by taking my soul to the inscrutable lands of beauty and wonder. The ideas descending in the realm of dreams, completely possessing, powerfully urged me to commit them to writing. Most of my poems are the creation of my dreams. Hopefully, my poems will provide food stuff to those who have tasted the flavour of ambrosia. I am a prolific writer and have a number of research papers on education and Human Rights to my credit. Also, I have authored two books, The Luminous Love and Flowers in Flames. My poetry published in national and international journals. My poem Woman was published in the world oldestliterary magazine, The London Magazine.

The Best Poem Of Matloob Bokhari

Let Us Work Together

LET US WORK TOGETHER
Let us work together to light power of love in hearts
To make world as beautiful as slopes of paradise hills.
Let us work together to make ourselves as truthful
As a child to make our souls clean and hearts pure.
Let us work together to kill the ruthless and faithless
Enemy sitting in our hearts to wear ornament of peace.
Let us work together to work hand in hand with every one
And become a sea while still being a drop of water.
Let us work together to liberate the fellow men
From narrowing minds, impaired souls and evil hearts.
Let us work together against ignorance, illiteracy,
Poverty and be friends of the poor, helper of helpless.
Let us work together to shake off the yoke
That chained our thoughts and imprisoned our ideas.
