Syed Mizbahuddeen Poems

Ever since I was born,
I have seen and I’ve observ’d,
Men doth lie in the arms of dawn,
Ah! Time-the never understandable word
...

They say that life is short in its span,
So go with the world if it’d change,
But I am not an adjustable spanner,
To change with people in every aspect and manner
...

At the rain falling from the sky I looked,
Why does it rain, asked my questioning mind,
Who planned the water cycle and then took,
The water to life of every kind
...

True words of wisdom
Are truly eternal
Because of their truth
...

Reading the lives of really great men,
Well seen is the truth and the truth I speak,
Behind every successful man is a woman,
No one shall ask what else there might be
...

I have never seen a squirrel in my city
That is lazy – it has a back story so strange
It is about the ancestor squirrels tenacity
To soar higher and higher and bring a change
...

Giver of sadness and remorse
Granter of joy and repentance
Owner of all that was, is and will be
Here, I hold everything
...

Sometimes my heart burdened be,
Like the sun setting across the sea,
By bad schooling and bad memories,
And the past, swarming like honey bees
...

Mottaaai irundhean.. Moodi maraitthaai..
Poovaai poothean.. Pugazhpera seithaai..

Pazhamaai pazhutthean.. Viratti aditthai! ! !
...

I was a bud..
You nurtured me in your arms..

I bloomed into a flower..
...
