Naveed Akram Poems

Twilight brings nearness to the sea,
Travel to the stems and the saws
Of this obliterated land of water and ice.
This sea, these seas are mightier
...

My people die when they are asleep,
Kicking and punching their way to the heavens.
The wonder of peace suggests diplomas of good,
The good say goodbye to the morning.
...

The next world buys us time for the place is noon,
Noon is the time of this place, this very beautiful dwelling.
We saw a world so similar when we found beauty,
The work of youth is about when we force.
...

A beast of the East is a brute so blind,
It wanders from the lands so perfect.
It is a dumb creature so burdened with youth,
A reptile in the park, the one to blame.
...

In all likelihood the effort was concealed,
Hideous truth has arisen, we must be impossible.
Do not grasp at shadows, but never consider it
And never eat the food at the end of the rainbow.
...

Drink from the ocean with its tears overflowing,
Be free, please be free with the amount of water;
Drowning is permanent to the soul,
Be difficult as the tide, be steady now.
...

Freedom from dirt is of washing up,
Spreading the tablecloth and being fine.
Use the handkerchief on the people who work,
A tainted one shall require us to laugh aloud.
...

Dance with the possibility of disease,
Validate your health when called by him
Who is the doctor, the doctor of healing.
To establish this is nearly the success
...

One day the bard who thinks barbarically
Shall sing wondrous hymns of beauty.
The beauty works within your body
In a way too demanding of the soul.
...
