Simplicity Is An Art Itself
They blame me for being so simple,
But I know that simplicity is an art itself,
It's to hard to be simple,
And it needs great skill to express yourself,
I ask them if they are skilled enough to express themselves in simple terms,
If they can't, they are not fit to be called real poets.

Wisdom and love
O, my intentions never seek wisdom's permission,
For kindling flame of love in the heart,
Tis matter should be dealt by heart,
And wisdom should be kept apart,
For wisdom cannot see through,
And heart for this has its own art,
My sorrows have ruined me so, Every effort of joy they thwart.

My poor poem
Thou come and go
At least I think so
What happens then
I lift my pen
I write what I feel
I lose all my zeal
My poem is very sad
My tears tear the pad
They wash the poem away
Then you come one day
It happens once again
The pad has painful rain
How long it will go?
I surely don't know.

Azan
A wake-up call for the Muslims
An anthem of their unity
A reminder to shut the worldly business
And bow down before the Maker
Azan reminds a muslim of his humble condition
And greatness of Almighty
Azan leads us to humanity and brotherhood
Azan is nothing but a way to unite the muslim with Allah.

You and me
Who is immortal you or me?
Certainly none,
Neither you nor me
nor anyone else,
Then why behave like immortals?
The truth remains forever,
It is immortal,
While falsehood is bound to perish,
Then why feel proud of it?
Let us leave this game of
Proud and humiliation,
And be true to each other.

A man of simplicity
A man of contentment,
A man of dauntless faith,
Afraid of being embarrassed
In the next world.
No more passion, no more hopes,
Only generosity and sense of liability
Towards Almighty,
Loathsome to illicit desires,
Troublesome to greed and envy,
Living a life of hardship
Yet pleased with himself.

A question of man
I'm the one who enhanced
The effect of His creation by His praise,
I'm the one who filled
His barren lands
With enough stuff of green,
Now asked to forget everything
For Heaven's sake,
Tell me
How an artist Who poured
His heart
Into everything,
Can put his magnificent piece
Of art at stake?

I want to fly away
I want to fly away on the wings of time
To get rid of
my sorrows,
I am duped by my so called well-wishers,
The net of love cast by them
Has trapped me,
My whole being is fettered
My soul is pining for liberty.
But I am helpless as a poor bird,
Come what may
In the evening,
She returns to her nest.

Is man really courageous?
Is man really courageous?
He who says so
Must be lunatic.
Man fears life,
He fears death,
He fears disease,
He fears failure
And sometimes his success also,
He fears the truth,
He fears honesty,
He fears God
But on his terms,
And above all
He fears himself.
So why should he be called
A courageous?

Bazar
Where one could get anything
To prove one's superiority over others
Where hearts are united to be broken
Where desires are crushed under the heavy feet of riches
Where wealth flows like water and poverty rubs
Its hand with frustration
It is a Heaven for the rich
And for the poor, a grave of their desires.
