Shuaib Saifi Poems

Would there were someone who truly loved me,
To ask in my darkest hours how I fare;
Who partook in the depths of my grief and glee,
Whose name with mine I could proudly share.
...

The winds can forget to blow,
The present to fade into history,
The rivers and waters to flow,
But I can never forget thee.
...

The golden sunlight belongs to the sun,
The silver moonlight to the wandering moon;
The stars above in playful patterns run,
Content beneath the heavens' vaulted boon.
...

This night too has fallen like every day,
Bright stars still shiver in the sky,
A deep silence is spread all the way,
Except the stubborn crickets' cry.
...

Doubt the wind blows,
Doubt the sun sets in the west,
Doubt the water flows,
But never doubt I’m honest.
...

When I was a little child, I never thought
In which kingdom I‘ve taken the birth, I live’
There’s also a man who’s so worthy and great;
From whom I can learn a lot and achieve.
...

When life had left me dull, you made me glad,
A steady spark when days were dark and low;
Through heavy times, gave me strength to glow,
Brought back every quiet joy I had.
...

Once it was a very pleasant evening,
And I was wandering in a forest alone;
All around, the emerald trees were weaving,
Birds were twittering in a gentle tone.
...

WHEN you’ve accepted me a friend,
I also promise to be fully loyal and true;
Till this short beauteous life does end;
My best wishes will always be with you.
...

The world is captured by the passing show
Of morning youth and smooth, unwrinkled skin,
Where transient tides of fashion ebb and flow,
And praise is spent on what is frail and thin.
...
