Showkat Ahmad Bhat Poems

After the centuries, the sun
Behind the green willow trees
On the bank of a running brook
Appeared before me
...

Where to go? Where to rest?
Neither east is ours nor the west.
Where to sleep? Where to dream?
Neither sleep is ours nor the dream.
...

Proud be you
You Zaingair
of thy unique name
of thy unique identity
...

Ibrahim (A.S) succeed
In doing a great deed
What he was ordered by God
His Allah, his Lord
...

Saw In a dream last night
A beautiful damsel
Whose eyes were bright
Like the stars in twilight
...

Without you o, I
A river without water
A flower without fragrance
A body without soul
...

The day will come
When the mute and sad birds will sing
The songs of joy and pleasure
In the dark dense woods
...
