Humans Need An After Life
(unfit 
category 
but no 
choice.)

Life would 
be 
worthless 
and 
short
If this is 
the only 
dear life 
we 
have
Great 
plans just 
death can 
abort
to be 
useless 
once you 
met 
your grave.

And for 
those who 
die young, 
in 
chilhood's 
tender 
ages
How short 
and 
incomplete 
life 
would be
How...

Poetry In An Urdu Nutshell
Garage       
stacked high
scribbled stenos of
an automatic act
of little understanding or thought-------------
{tuhituhi}

visceral finality       
zero return
zero reward
and then there's
a learning disability hindering the reading-------------
{panui}

writing       
is taking a dump, 
except...

Tum
Aatish-e-junoon ki chingaari ho, beqaraar dil ka sukoon bhi
Androoni sard ki thandak ho, barf ko pighlaati maum bhi

Shab ki adhoori khwaab ho, sehar ka mukammal sapna bhi
Khayaali ek khooobsurat uljhan ho, suljhi hui haseen jawaab bhi

Dil ke taar se bajti tarannum ho, qalb mein chhupaane...

Hijab
Hijab
Hijab, niqab, jilbab, or chador of ridah.
Draping eloquently the notion of obscurity with expressions so holy.
Living an invisible existence on screen of life.
Suffering in silence; and protecting honor of riwayaat daily.
Should I surrender the will of life, being, self, or khudi?
Don’t show, just hide: don’t...

An Elegy For Syria
After so many countries, now in Syria,
Increasing is the western bacteria,

The bacteria of hypocrisy and lies,
Which is in a dangerous disguise,

Under the banner of help and peace,
They seems like a white fleece,

They do things very secretly,
Pursuing interests very actively,

What they want is just conflicts?
In the...

Nafarmaan Nakhalf Baitay Ka Noha-- Elegy of a Disobedient and Evil Son
BeAdab gustakh jab aulad ho jaye
Chain sukh maa'n baap ka barbaad ho jaye

Cheen le budbakht jo walid ka sarmaya
Jeete jee kion baap na barbad ho jae

Aasteen ka saamp that beta nhi the woh
Maut ae usko woh barbad ho jae

Baap kee jo he raza Allah kee...

Birds In Flight Edited
As black as my birdlover poet's 
pen ink hue in hue
A rook and a raven flew flew 
flew
when the wind it breezily blew 
blew blew
and blustery became the view 
view view

An albatross then gracefully 
took to the air
and for hours it seemed to 
linger there

Life
Life is a bag of jilly beans
Never in a separate bowl
Fruity, exquisite, spooned by Ian.

PiCk
and 
MiX

Crouching, the tiger 
amalgamated the prism of daL.

Floating, the petal
never arrived.

Dreaming, the tangerine peeled to reveal
a bun.

The fiddler: Dum digga dum.

Diggy diggy diggy dum.
And when the bag 'a' beans is...

Maut
"Zindagi bhr ka bas itna sa fasana hay,
Aaj nhi to kal hamain bhi chale jaana hay,

Talkh zindagi ke samandar main beh kar,
Hamain akhir main kinare se lag jaana hay,

Ye jo sooraj hay, har roz nai zindagi jeeta hay,
Ise bhi har sham maghrib main dhal jaana...

Butterfly Killing
A killer garden of love 
expects pollution of sin 
was walking in town 
embraced my chest home
serving the environment 
 
Butterfly flies 
affect the branches done
disappeared and gone
health in a car exhaustion 
guard our natural wealth 
let's save the wildlife
do not be smug!...

Raqs Zanjeer Pahen Kar Bhi Kiya Jata Hay
Raqs Zangeer Pehen Kar Bhi Kiya Jata Hay.
“I love you. I can’t live without you. I am sorry.”
She is bleeding from her nose.
She frowns at him and run outside.
He follows her, “Please stop, don’t worry. Don’t leave me. 
It is a mistake. You hurt my...
