Naseer Ahmed Nasir

In the fair of crazy weathers
Seeing the dance of pale leaves
Why does the air blow whistle?

With a slight mischief of yours,
You have stripped trees of leaves
O wind, how wanton you are!

Peace

A beautiful singing bird
Imprisoned in a golden cage
Waiting to be freed
Since the hominoid age!

In the dreadful jungle of the night,
A frail, thin line of the light
Or smiles of jet black women.

Climax Of A Long Story

She wrote me
On mud-walls
In colours delible
And then
Prayed for rain!

(1975, Translated By Dr. Satyapal Anand)

How Good Was Youth!

Thru the jungle of your sleep
I had a passage of my dreams
You had a bookish face
I had a school bag in my hand.

Glass House

Hither night falls, but
brings no dreams
sunshine advances, but
kindles no one
flowers bloom, but
winds do not chant.

I Will Make Words Out Of Dreams

Look O, traveller
Before dying
Put your dreams
In the care
Of wind and water
I will make words out of dreams.
From the grime of your corpse
I will come to grow flowers!

(Translated by Samina Amjad)

Encircled Triage

Life is an empty abode
Built on the verge of
An invisible road
Leading to perpetual death
Muted in an eternal mode
Deprived of an omen
Or a node
Red, yellow, green
Encircled in a triadic universal code.

Sea-Woman Awake On A Sleeping Shore

Her eyes
Are deeper than eyes
Her dreams
Are deeper than dreams
Her thoughts
Are deeper than thoughts
Her words
Are deeper than words
Her poems
Are deeper than poems.

(1990, Translated by Samina Amjad)
