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".

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!!!!!!.........

and ill soon return

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............................

%%%% 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.

Morning Beam

Waking up in the light
with shining things to do
giving thanks to the moon
guiding my way

feeling the wind
when day feels bright
walking freely 
in morning light

the rays warm my skin
the sun lightens my soul
the morning lets me feel
the secret life holds

the lush green grass
add a quick bright view
at a glance, 
with cool felt dew

the beauty of creation everywhere can i see
and thats how its like, walking in morning beam....

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.......................

****nature and Poet*****

The sun glints bright
on the sea at every sight
the breeze does refresh
my soul and my mind

The clouds line up
the wind gets cooler
to welcome a lonely poet
or maybe just a loner
to them on a page 
she writes down her story
how she was bought up
and why she was lonely

Her life was sad 
no they couldnt bear
how she lived alone
and nobody ever cared

The sun did leave
and the sky went fair
the clouds wept long
though the poet felt it wrong
more gloominess....i couldnt bear
so i left them longing, pretending not to care....

To Him Shall We Return

An old man ones told me
we were created to serve
serve the master of masters
and the lord of lords
the king of kings and
the richest of em all

with amusement i asked 
who could he be? ? ? 
with suprise he replied
our sustainer, our creator
our sustainer, our creator

the one and only
the true and merciful
the generous and all giving
our sustainer, our creator

we came from him and
to him we shall return
we are sent for a test
is he who will choose the best

he cares not who is pretty
he cares not who is strong
he cares not who is rich
all came from him 
and to him it shall return................
