YOUTH
Youth is the age
When boys are in rage
An important life stage
Minds like brightly colored page.
Boys when young
No locks on their tongue
Enemy of their lung
Lovely songs they sung.
Then the old age comes
Life become a sweet plum
Having sincere chums
With problems some. MY FATHER
In a quiet corner of my heart
I found a person
A person, who is my life’s part.
He is always there to help me.
He advises me, guides me, direct me.
Sometimes I don’t listen to thee.
Then I realize that mistake is mine
He don’t takes anything on mind
After it everything becomes fine.
He advises me not to be angry.
Speak yourself if you are hungry.
He advises me to help my self
As it is a saying
“God help those who help themselves”
He advises me never to lie
As it will give me true wings to fly
True people, true thoughts never die.
He advises me always go straight
As straightness is the key to every gate.
He advises me to make a timetable
As it will make my life stable.
His love for me is sheer
He makes me so dear.
Sometimes, some thoughts make his eyes full of tears.
I have gained many precious thoughts from him
That will make anybody’s life bright from dim.
All said & done, I have found that person
He is very close to me, rather
He is my own father.
MY FIRST VOTE; WHOM TO VOTE
When I looked outside my house
My anticipation arouse
I saw a procession
Mob of hunters riding bicycles
Hitting with arrows
Hunting the lions
I understood the situation
It’s the season of election
Some refer it referendum
Some call it election
Some take it as a clean sweep
While some declared it a boredom
I wondered then
Why this mob is approaching my house
My anticipation again arouse
I opened my wallet
There I found my NIC
It took me into the past
Outside NADRA in the queue
Where facilities are very few
Finally I got this identity
This piece of paper makes it sure
That I belong to the “land of pure”
Noise of mob persuaded me to come back
I’m eighteen and I have to vote
But it’s not that easy to sort
Another leader have been shot
If this strategy continues
It will be difficult to choose
Whom to vote and whom to loose
It is all the same again
We are to elect them
They are to neglect us
We have to listen them
They have to listen others
Before elections we were brothers
After election no one bothers.
HOW THE DAYS PASSED IN TEENS
Ah! How the days passed in teens
Days were enchantic nights were dream
So much lovely age
Begun at thirteen, ended at nineteen
At thirteen
Switched to cartoon network
All day play no work
School fellows, class mates & best friends
Seems this life never ends
At fourteen
Switched to story books & comics
Liked every songs remix
What to choose and what to reject
Always in a fix
At fifteen
Switched to computer/video games
GTA, HITMAN, SCOOBY DOO! Too much names
Planning different aims
But hard work these aims claim
At sixteen
Jumped to competition
Want to be outstanding
Performances are electrifying
At Seventeen
Switched to college life
Late night studies and hanging around
Cafés, canteens, fast foods Ah! No bounds
At Eighteen
Quite a mature life begins
Becomes a noted citizen
Gets a right to vote
At Nineteen
Looking forward for a bright future
Sometimes turn back into memories and say
Ah! How the days passed in teens.
ONCE THERE WAS SUCH TIME
Once there was such time
Once there was sunshine
When positivism was rooted
Once there was such sunshine
Once there was history
History reflected the past
It’s true but
Globe spins so fast
History reflects present now
Once there was a partition
Division, division and division
Once there was such partition
You Muslim me Hindu who is who
Yes it's true
It’s the blood only the blood
Me Muslim you Hindu; but who's blood
Once there was a relationship
Now a name me Muslim you Hindu
Once there was such a relationship
Forget all those just identify your self
Once we were Humans
Once we loved Children
Once there was such love!!!
I HAD A DREAM OR I’M HAVING A DREAM?
The spring started…
Birds are dancing on the ball of garden
Flowers are singing with their petals wide open
Wind’s blowing as it got the lucky coupon
Someone’s sitting nearby water stream
O, mom tell me; I had a dream or I’m having a dream
I’m in the air, touching the sky
My wings are electric with a power supply
My place is Asia and I wonder why?
Only somewhere lights beam
O, mom tell me; I had a dream or I’m having a dream
I heard a cry
Saw a child nearby
His eyes were black and ears were made black
I ask him the reason
Why crying in the spring season?
It’s the only song I can sing; the child replied
Ever since my people died!
I pointed to his black eyes
They can only see the wrath of world; the child replied
Black they are, filled with hatred!
I asked once again
What’s the mystery in the ears so black
He smiled, and smiled again
His smile had a happiness lack
The Human Woes! They can only hear
I saw on his cheek, a Rolling tear
I couldn’t ask him anymore
The child just disappear
I closed my eyes in a pain extreme
O, mom tell me; I had a dream or I’m having a dream.
Oh! Father Adam, oh! Mother Eve
Involved are your kin; in fights and sin
Abel and Cain fighting toe to chin
Was this the world, you had the agreement breach
By eating just ONE piece each!
My views, my brain whatsoever deem
O, mom tell me; I had a dream or I’m having a dream.
