Best Kashmir Poems

Kashmir is the innocent beauty of nature
It lifted me above all mire dark and dense.

Kashmir is the divine smile
It gifted me a peace beyond all of my sense.

Kashmir is the sorrow
It showed me a combined pain of poverty, corruption and terrorism.

Kashmir is the beautiful helpless...

Within Armpits of
Snow-flakes-dipped
Quivering trees,
Cuddled with
Pale puffy leaves 
Perspiring fogs,
Nevertheless
Siblings
In transition of
Crisis times,
Oddly red
Plump apples 
Hide within
Wombs of snow,
Hungry red robins
Performing
Midwifery...

Concluding Part of

Oh’ Kashmir  - Last Part 2


One grave mistake was 
Shown by the decision makers 
Of Kashmir,
To convert the green valley,
Into a valley of concrete. 
Dams, buildings and houses,
Were built on places, 
Which were the nourishing orchards of Nature.  ..08
	
Changed by the...

Oh' Kashmir



Oh'  J & Kashmir

My heart is aching,
And tears coming out from my eyes, 
And from the eyes, 
Of millions of your other countrymen,
From Jammu and Kashmir to Kanyakumari,
Because you are in terrible pains and sufferings,
And you are a part,
Of our heart and soul
And...

In the midst of the mountainous boundary
The speck of thy bright shining moon
Thy firmly  watching mapple tree
Touching gently wise but wild breeze 
Those thousand wish flowers at a glance
Thy rays of the moon's gleaming shadow 
She saw such beauty in eternal peace
She took steps...

VISIT-I

On taking leave
Nafisa gave
A Chinar leaf.

Chart of tears
Glowed in it.

Mist nestled trees.

Stars melted
In Jhelum.
Bluish hearts
Flew over as moths.

VISIT-II

Curfew torn streets
Speeding army trucks.

Election posters
Plastered wounds.

Gunned down twilight
Fluttered in the Dal lake.

Alone,at night
To Chasmeshahli.
Haunted in memories
In Gulmarg.
At Khulanmarg
As destitute.

Infront
Hurriedly
A Chinar leaf falls
Glued
In human flesh and blood.

Frightened Jhelum
Flows...

I picture Kashmir through lightened KL. I see Kashmir through deserted eyes.
I am writing an elegy. While my Kashmir burns.
My blood has contents of a coward. 
What results my thoughts will forward.
Tears have dried. Heart has cried.
My pen drops dead. Its enough, there is nothing...

“Lost Road to Kashmir”



Tenderness arrives 
late sometimes
in the 11th hour 

soft cashmere 
wrapped like a child
love around your knees

pale roses
tease golden grail
visions

blushing again
in the twilight years
on some kind of mission

birds 
become
bees

honeyed wings
sweeten the hallucinatory
messages written from Blue Sky

dreams sting
slept-in again
the sleep-of-sleeps

Great heights reached
Mountains test journeys
speaking...

I picture Kashmir through lightened KL. News of another massacre darkens my eyes
Winds are thirsty there. They continue to taste the young blood.
I groom myself with exquisite things,
Sipping ice tea in ac room, I comfort myself
And Kashmir burns. Kashmir set ablaze

I can smell the warm...

Another son is dead, until five he lived.
For his long life at Shah-Hamdan he had threads tied
“Shehij ninder yee nai. Gahas Kormakh Khudayas Hawale”, his mother cries.
No news can penetrate across the mountains. Satellites work here no more
My Kashmir burns. And no one knows.
An old...

Azadi bleeds from every razored lip
And then dries up near the throat. The call for prayers is not heard
Fear of death deserts mosques. 
It’s the land where death has proven inability of faith.
I see one of those Maisuma boys. Which were taken under the blanket...

Kashmir a heaven on earth
So said those nerds
Gardens full of land mines
Where the fire flower blooms
Crystal clear waters
Full of human debris
Kashmir a heaven on earth
Said one and all
The frozen Dal lake
A view to behold
Full with wood chunks
And leaking petrol
Kashmir a heaven on earth
Said the teachers...

Screams, Screeches, groans and wails
Let me tell you Agonies’ tales

And of bullets, bombs and pellet guns
For a person with Heart must know these pains 

Here somewhere, kids are blinded; men are jailed
Women are molested; the old are tortured

Lucky, You have a home and a steak...

Raising the slogans won't make it any better. 
Dare to accept the truth, 
All lives matter. 
Does that sound better, 
Islam is the way out, 
Quran is the light out. 
Read it I promise you will later have no doubt, 
As  from it I...
