tayyeba mustafa Poems

It is music, that makes me dance
It is music, that wakes me up
It is music, brush my hair
It is music, makes me smile
...

Dripping water, dripping water,
everywhere!
from the horizon of heaven,
on the land, on the sand,
...

How life circumnavigate in this world
How things happen in this arena
How a child grows in this reverberating place
How a person gets old in this dazzling land
...

Without YOU, no one to pacify the soul
Without YOU, no one to grant me what I look for

I have been to America, Russia, Malaysia and all
...

Time is good,
Time is bad,
Time is fast,
Time is slow,
...

I am a small honey Bee
I abide among beautiful flowers
I reside in garden of world
I collect my food of thought
...

When the falcons are humans,
and grains, pebbles are words,
these hollow devices carry no meaning,
but only differ in weight,
...

O! dentist uncle, dentist uncle,
what obviate personality are you,
extra careful outstanding expensive,
makes my mouth and eyes to be wide open,
...

As the mid night darkness prevailed,
The chugging slumber fell down,
The eyelashes met up,
Thus an errand to the real land began,
...

welled up tears flowed on red cheeks
vindictive ideas
repugnant as they appeared
clearing the grunt ant throat
...
