Haikus Poem by Muhammad Shanazar

(1)
The fire broke out,
After the rain had poured down,
No could escape, neither white nor brown.

(2)
Ice of the mountains,
Flowed through the rivers,
Man remained thirsty behind.

(3)
After gathering a straw after a straw,
And building the nest;
Where has gone the sparrow?

(4)
My tale will be on lips,
Of all my fellows
But after my death.

(5)
The sunlight caressed,
Spectacular waterfall,
And then disseminated.

(6)
The clouds are silent,
Winds are intoxicated,
But after the tempest.

(7)
Who writes,
The inscription of time,
On the royal mansion?

(8)
Between the both:
Earth and heaven,
Man is missing!

(9)
Ice and the mountain,
Frozen waterfall,
Melting bodies.

(10)
Brief caption,
Long poem,
Missing audience.

(11)
Bankless ocean,
Submerged coasts,
Fish drowned.

(12)
The sky slept,
Roads were deserted,
The city kept running.

(13)
The lakes of eyes
Are surging lagoon,
Where have gone fishes?

(14)
A frog
Challenging the sky,
Jumped into the pond.

(15)
A fish gulped down,
The whole ocean,
Silent is the shore.

(16)
A forest of stars,
The path is lost,
Lampyris went astray.
