Muhammad Shanazar Poems

Oh! Where have gone children, men and women,
The fair featured descendants of Adam and Eve,
I might have come on some disaster-prone planet,
With grim sooty mountains, sterile barren plains,
...

(A dream I dreamt when I was only four years old)

Hardly was I old years four,
Went through an experience unforgettable.
...

Those who savour do know well the taste,
The rest may form but the images abstract;
Unsubstantial eyes penetrate deep into realities,
But the carnal look with superficial glance.
...

We the men and women of the world,
Remain annoyed
With brothers, sisters and fellow beings;
Spend lives
...

Let me take vintage from the looks,
Blue, reddish and deep dreamy,
For transient is the taste of wine,
But a drop sipped from the eyes,
...

Begin thoughts scrub the surface,
Remove rust, wash the sable spots
Of eyes, of heart and of dark mind;
But the diabolic coat a layer upon a layer,
...

A Gardener with saintly vision,
Planted a garden making its division,
Into the zones two.
...

Was this the face upon which,
Beautified innocence danced and danced?

How looks gazed, riveted untiringly!
...

Infinite in wisdom, will and power,
His skill speaks, in stone and flower,
In moving winds, in floating clouds,
That bring the rains, drops of shower.
...

Magnificent among all creatures,
Unique in matchless character,
Humbleness clad in human form,
Admired, praised by God Himself,
...
