nafisa baheranwala Poems

Ships that sail in the sea of life
That can help avoid sorrow and strife
Are there to help, when you are adrift
For they are, indeed, Fortune's gift
...

Birds fly
Soaring high
In the sky
Clouds part
...

Whatever be the state of your wealth:
These are what will affect your health -
To me they are the ‘Golden three'
That can either bind, or set us free
...

Eyes blazing with desire
That transcends all peaks
A response from the beloved
It desperately seeks
...

When you leave something for later
It disappears from sight
So do it right now
Before day turns into night
...

Ridges of red and gray outlined the whole sky
Expressing with their dumb tongues, the greatness on high
The city looked drab ere the lights began to twinkle
It appeared to be on the earth's face - a gray, and anticipated wrinkle.
...

Where might is not always right
And people can exist without fright
Where the poor have at least daily bread
And the under nourished are properly fed
...

Words are few or too many
My thoughts are costlier than a penny
They follow the dictates of my heart
Of myself, they are a vital part
...

If you Face the rainy season
With fewer sighs and grunts
It will be a cheerful dance
During the summer months
...

There are some days
When you do nothing but sigh
Remember, then, my friend
It's always good to cry..
...
