A Lonely Soul

The sky looks dull
the wind feels dry
gloominess, i see 
when i pass by

the trees stay still
and birds sleep long
in this town of gloominess
i once belonged

heading my way home
i cant find that street
where i carved my name
on a huge hollow tree

have they left and gone? 
did they take my tree? 
which i myself grew, with that little seed.

i call out for people
a passing girl i see
and shout to her the utmost
hoping she hears me
no one, ever replies 
how arrogant human being

my heart beats fast
i feel lone and tensed
my reflection i cant see
and the wind i dont feel
people dont reply
and now i know why...

the clouds rain and shower
the birds fly away
people in their houses
and im on my dead way

where the days arent bright
and the star dont shine at night
the wind u never feel
and a heart not capable to heal.

"this Too Shall Pass"

When you feel all alone in this world
and there is no one to count your tears
when your inner voice never heard
and u  lack strength to fight your fears

when u always keep trying so hard
but nothing seems working at all
when u feel all down and broken
and there are words left unspoken

when u loose someone close to your heart
and see your life falling apart
when u feel sad and unwanted
and days of happiness dont much last 

when u feel it and know whats wrong
than why do u all wait so long
light up and always remember
nothing in this life really lasts.
and "This too shall pass".

Be Yourself

live the life u love 
and love the life u live
do things u like
and like things u do
work the way u want
and want the way u work
think the way thats right
and right the way thats wrong

be yourself
and believe u are uninque 
cus all these things are what knowlege seeks.......................

Nothing Lasts

there r times that r hard to forget
there r days that make one regret
there r moments that never do  stay
there r events that fills u with dismay
there r places that remind u of past
there r emotions  which never do last!!!!!!.........

In Life

In life there are people that will hurt us and cause us pain, 
but we must learn to forgive and forget and not hold grudges.

In life there are mistakes we will make, 
but we must learn from our wrongs and grow from them.

In life there are regrets we will have to live with, 
but we must learn to leave the past behind and realize it is something we can't change.

In life there are people we will loose forever and can't have back, 
but we must learn to let go & move on.

Its U Where I Belong......

Its u where i belong
and it has been so long
i, ve left u and gone

ive spent all of my life
away from the native soil
in luxury and riches
and hopes and wishes

i know u are best from the rest
i know your name meant pure
i know u cannot be broken
even if the enemies are close

the only thing u need is unity and peace
with better leaders and educated souls
with selfless attitude and unity 
u can get strength and progressive opportunity 

..................LIVE LONG PAKISTAN............................

Stars At Night

Looking up in the night
at the dark cloudless sky
with my window viewing sea
and the wind swaying trees

wondering whats left
that i havent seen
wondering why the skys so awake
while everyone is fast asleep

these glittering balls of light
why shimmer at night.

dont they ever get tired
or jus fall asleep.
dont they complain
why they get to work 
1 o clock at night
dont they feel like resting
or may be jus rejecting

OR is it jus human<
who goes against GODs will
who blame God for bad luck
and praise themself when lucks bestowed.
who gets and always forgets................

%%%% Glass Friendship%%%%

Friendship is a glass ship
with hanging golds and treasures.
it sails not in the dark seas
but flies up in the dense air

everynight when the stars shine
below the horizon i lie
and never miss a minute 
without scanning sky.

if its an illusion
there got to be a solution
if its a myth
i, ll put an end to it.


people talk about it
but i lookout it
and when i finally find it.
i, ll rename it...................
cuz i fear worldy freindship
and wouldn't wanna loose it.

Success In Need

success is something 
which u keep chasing
until u trap it in net
and lock it up
and look day and night
that the prisoner wont escape
and be caught somewhere else
by people who wont set it free 
just like u planned to keep

and once it escapes
it leads to fighting and pain
and even break between success seeking friends

some think why is it important
to fight for such a thing
to strive without a friend
to waste time searching
but only few know the advantage of its presence.............................
