Please Hold My Arms When I Am Walking Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Please Hold My Arms When I Am Walking

Rating: 5.0


A win overshadowing thousand defeats,
A kiss while driving on the front seats,
Your moves in love and my counter moves,
Careless! If the kiss anyone reproves.
I know I cannot get back my past,
Old and youth ages are in contrast,
But sometimes somehow somewhere,
We can steal a moment here or there,
With a hand in hand we can walk at least,
In the same old manner we can talk at least,
In a corner beneath a dense old tree,
With each other we can be free,
There are pink colors and white fragrance,
We can spend love, may be extravagance,
A scene overshadowing colorful scenery,
A pink kiss while sitting on grassy greenery,
How much I miss your whispering talks!
How much I need you during my walks,
Wipe my tears; I am in knee pains,
Stress of aging, the resulting strains!
Now I can't drive but during my walks
I need a companion I need your talks,
Be close and listen to when I am talking.
Please hold my arms when I am walking.

(Based on my Urdu poem "Sahara dedo main thak geya hooN")

But sometimes somehow somewhere, We can steal a moment here or there, With a hand in hand we can walk at least! Just as Valsa has commented, i repeat, that in the evening of our life, what we need most, is a soft touch, an assurance and a loving companion to hold the hand. Akhtar Sahab, a touching poem that deserves 100+++

I need a companion I need your talks, Be close and listen to when I am talking. Please hold my arms when I am walking. This is everyone's wish, especially in the later years of one's life..... to have a companion to talk to and hold hands with! Though years have lapsed by, what has been dear in the heart still stays dear! Beautiful write!
