Shahid H Khan Poems

What can I give you
On your birthday?
Love, I love you,
That's all I’ll say.
...

How do I make me believe
That one day you will leave,
And I shall be on my own;
Deserted, dejected, alone.
...

Can I ask you, Almighty?
Why not I win a lottery?
I am not being greedy,
But a few millions will be handy.
...

I was clearing the clutter in my bedroom;
Under the debris, I found a photo frame
Which I loved and bought years ago.
The frame still looked beautiful;
...

I have many a dream unlived
I have many a dream shattered
I have many a wish broken
I have many a wish unheard
...

Worries multiply
At exponential speed
Like mosquitoes breed
I deny them access to my mind
...

Wishful Delusion

I know
We have parted ways;
...

Lady Summer,
You are a shy bride this year
You give a glimpse and disappear
Throwing tantrums here and there
...

The wrinkled veins
On the back of my hand
Look ugly;
Aged, wilted, worn out
...

I wish I could halt
Ruthless march of time;
Cruel hands of the clock
And its ominous chime.
...
