 Lie

Last night I saw a dream

Lie was in it like a cream

I spoke the truth with her

But this world is a lie
After she had deceived me
Now I want to make her cry

One thing, which is hidden in heart

That thing is a lie
Now let us be full of knowledge
Alas! Knowledge today is also a lie

In a country where there is lie

There is also a room for truth
So don’t be disappointed or cry
Speak truth and one day the liars will cry

The moments of glee the moments of grief

Make the verve come and die
Why every one hates and cries?
‘Cause love today is also a lie

Why this lie is a lie

Poverty, Scarcity, Richness, Abolition

4
 The True Passion

A man who said I love passion

Girls and boys are for this fashion
A positive passion is good for this mission
Students and teachers are taught in institutions

The successful nations are lead by successful nations

Don’t be disguised in their fashion
Just try to follow their love of passion

Don’t rove here and there again and again

Be ware outside will be mighteous rain
I will rove again and again
‘Cause chicks have to find their grain
Shall I not catch up my love train?
Why you don’t often use your brain
Life is not Omer like you a crane
Life is love life is hate life is loose life is gain

A mouse said to a cat how to eat?

I want to kill my enemies how them to beat?
After beating them how can I sleep?
The cat said if you are my friend
Then you have to change your trend
You have to bring your enemies here
And you have to make them trap
I will come and eat them there

The mouse said that go and take a nap

Go away and don’t tease me or will get a slap
The cat was astonished as the mouse straightened his hat
The cat said him to look there, there is a bat

The mouse looked there and at once was eaten

The cat had eaten and seen her kitten
The kitten had teeth and she said to her
That you should have given me my share
The cat said that I am very well aware
There is no non-sense like your share

Shut up, leave me and from me, be away

Now look at Americans what they did

They looted Iraq and Afghan with their pair of boots
America is a cat and Europe is a mouse
She hasn’t given them their share
Who knows will become their enemy

5
 I remember one day when they fought
Germany had a lesson to them taught

Israel is also a kitten and America is her cat

One day will be eaten by her kitten

6
 Unity

Be united and be loved by the people

Be united and conquer their hearts

Be united and beat your enemies

Be united and bring the people true peace

Be united and destroy the evil

Be good to truth, to good people

Be united and learn and teach a word

Learn more, act more and make the world a beautiful world

Care for children respect the elders

Care for poor and destroy the poverty

Be united and respect the authority

Be fair to people and care for minority

7
 I am Alone

I am alone
Every inch of my every bone
But I am strong
‘Cause I am alone

The person who is alone

Learns how to be strong
He remains strong
He has to be strong
If he is not strong
Then would be beated by thorns
What makes me so strong?
I am alone

To survive in this world

You have to be strong
No matter, how the life is long
No matter, how many in it thorns
You have to be on your own

Life is wriggle
Life is virtue
Life is truth
Life is bravery

8
 Great Nations

A sword is never enough

Your mind should also be tough

The mind is also a weapon

Stronger weapon than a sword
More stronger than a horse
More stronger than a chord

Knowledge is for it a heaven

Lovelier heaven than a woman
More lovelier than a slogan
More lovelier than a loved one

Perfection of it is a challenge
Either for you or your brain
Don’t be fooled by this game
Un known effort will be in vain

Ask for mercy ask for knowledge

Work for positive work to be informative
Be wise and speak without dice
Be wise and don’t be disguised

Work hard and people will bow

Be an eagle not a crow
Be ready for the life the show
If knowledge will grow then you will grow
So open your eyes and walk on the road

The road of successful nations

The nations who created great creations
So open your mind and make ready your sensations

And live brave nations

Live like wise nations
Live like great nations

 A Gift

Today I lost the flower

The flower, which was given
To me by my friend
I fell sad and mourned

I wept, thought to commit theft

Then thought, how can you steal a gift?
A special gift is worth thousand roses
I felt very sad

I don’t know how to find

The emptiness of my possession
I don’t know how I would live
The life is miserable without it

I don’t know what to say

My tongue, my mind, my heart, my soul
Are busy in despair for loosing that gift

Now I can only pray

Now I can only pray

10
 Sleep

I can’t sleep
The way I slept
What she did
What she has left

Thorns of death, which from her I have got

Is the only matter for this poem’s plot

My mind works as my heart beats

My heart works like the death seed

I crawl in the tunnel of anxiety

My emotions, feelings, thinking
Flee in the world and spread there

I walk on the sea and swim in the sand

I now want to get a peaceful sleep

The feelings of mine are very deep

One’s sadness no one keeps

11
 Guess

I can only guess

What would be final test?
I can only gain courage
By giving the first test

To run is the main key

To win is not necess

I can only guess

What would be the greatest test?
For small tests are also great

To loose is not a loss

Bad habits are actually bad
That the will you loose
Is a great loss

The looser who comes back to win

Is I say a great winner
The winner who goes back to loose
Is I say a great looser

Now I can solve the riddle

Your will’s test is the first test
Your will’s test is the last test

12
 A Real Man

To make your own fortune is a great deed

Who is the man who drinks from others creek
The one who works and in earth bows a seed
Is far better than the one who just eats

The man who strives for a cause greater than him

The man who sees and writes and reads
The man who loves work and never cheats
Is the one who is chiefs’ chief

13
 Forever

Every thing in your mind is yours forever

No one can steel it either fool or clever
It is your will to teach others by your act or tongue
It is you who make others know you or be suspicious to others forever

14
 Ability and Ambition

Ability and ambition

When they are mixed
Any problem gets fixed
Open your mind and
Bad thoughts are kicked

Ability and ambition

When they are mixed
Then impossible gets possible
Improper gets proper

Of love and bravery

Be a salesman be a hawker
Love is start and love a completion

Ability and ambition

When joined together then
Make a great nation

15
 Illusions

A voice in me
Wants to flee
Free from my grasp
Like a tree from every seed
I can’t listen to my voice
Then let it flee
Hope so from others
You can hear it
But don’t be I a man who shouldn’t be flattered
From others’ words of please
Why are so near to illusions peak
Why are you so desperate to feel?
The true love the affection comes
Only when you do others some good
To conquer one’s heart is the real truth

16
 Day Light

Animals are being saved

Savers are being praised
Humans are being killed
Media on this is always late4

Civilized are still quiet

Proved that Might is Right
Today right is wrong
But tomorrow right would be right

I am seeing a terrible sight

Blood will bleed from the might
There is not always night
There will be the daylight

17
 Muslim

Eye of an eagle
Shy like a maid
Luck of a tiger
Completes the Muslim’s fate

18
 Keep this nation Unite

Keep this nation unite

Only fools get divide
Leaders are not blind at night
Why are you enemies of light?

Today night is bright

But day is dark
Leaders can light the day
Why don’t you fight for right?

Today there is great fight

On the dams on one’s sight
Consider a house without water
Consider the reader without candlelight

I can remember when the time was dark

And in the world we showed the light
Today their economy is bright
We are ignorant, they are flying the kite

19
 Sky is the Limit

The world is not enough

Sky is the limit
Fly like an eagle
Fly exceed all limits

Eagle is not just a bird

It is itself a sky
But to rule others
It flies and flies and flies

To show others who he is

He dies with a great voice
And I tell you what’s that voice
Die for others and live a great life

20
 O Young Muslim

O Young Muslim
Have you ever thought?
What your fathers have taught?
Is not your blood today hot?

The people who slaughtered the slaughters

The men who ruled with justice
The pen, which fought the war
The cruels who got lost

The farmers who worked hard

Not like you who steal the car
The men who had valor and shame
Are today pets tamed

Today still their names live

In the practical books of your rivals
But where are the young Muslims?
Whom they were disciples

Today the graves cry

Where are the lives who lived?
Why we are your homes?
Once we were happy when they died

Today why my words don’t work?

Today why your hearts don’t melt?
Today why the evil is winning?
Today why children die?

Once the fate waited your fathers

But today you wait for luck
The man who wishes to be great
Without work then he is a dazzling duck

O Young Muslim
Have you ever thought?
What were they what are you?
Is this the way you have been brought?

21
 The Road to Moderation

The Road to moderation

Envisions me the situation
Much blood and much elimination
Is this better than Prophet’s(S) revelation?

You seek the new guidance of Islam

Strengthen the institutions and
Will be guided automatically
Be enemy to extremists but don’t demolish Islam

Decide the decisions according to Quran

Muslims are bad but don’t blame Islam
Look at Umar(R) and will be guided
Going from bottom to top is the real guidance

Eliminate the terrorists

But what you call MQM?
Are not terrorists mixed with govt?
Are not exceeding in here the separatists

Practically they have failed

But what’s the sin of this nation?
Are we not becoming the children of Lincoln?
Seek from them well

But do consider your implementation

Do consider your implementation

22
The Holy Book

The Holy book says

Change your ways
Don’t seek evil
Before it’s late

23
 The Next One

The History of nations

Is written with great patience
Those whom you see their aims their destinations
Are made only by years and years of un-demolished devotions

The men can only say the deeds they do

The pens only write the words they say
Evil do they if then the nations drown
It depends whom the nation crowns

Leaders are always the mirrors of their nations

Leaders are always yours and mine creations
By Justice O! my nation choose your fate
Be in Great Nations’ history or be a fake

For nothing lasts for one forever

For time flees like a crow clever
For deeds live with nations of ever
Neither jewel or fate is great for clever

And nothing’s precious than the words of heaven

The sons of weak are never forgiven
Be merry in this life you forever
But do think, would be next one the better?

24
 The Dream

Today am writing a poem

Which has no theme
Ideas are from a dream
Can be a scream can be a cream

I am being followed by a witch

By a monster O! I am sick
I am out of pick
It’s an illusioned trick

I am flying in the water

And swimming in the sky
I am shotted from no one’s gun
I am a chewed gum or a singing cream

From a throat in a seen

Not a boy not a man
Not a cry don’t be mean
I am trying to recall myself

Is it reality or a dream?
Is this what I mean?
I am seeing a dream in dream

What is this complexion?

What do I mean?
Why he made me?
What is the theme?
Why this world exist?
What was His dream?
Why I am His puppet?
Why He loves green?

If He loves the way I see

Then why doesn’t this should change?

My thoughts are making me crazy

In this state my thinking is just a dream

25
 Revolution

It takes ability
It takes lives
It takes sacrifices
It takes liberty
It takes freedom
Freedom to be foolish
It takes will
It fails without valor

It takes Leaders
Leaders who are not born daily
Leaders who write History
History of their legacy
History of nation’s fate
History of rulers’ rule
History of every soul

Future of God’s will

Leader is messenger
Messenger of God
Great Leaders don’t come daily
Lead are many but leader is one
But today leaders are many and lead only one

It takes wisdom
To bring a revolution
To see the evolution
One faces the dangers
The dangers of life
Its not an easy job
Mothers don’t give birth
They are sons of sky
Of earth of saints
Yes centuries pass
And borne a leader

26
 Strange Laughter

What’s that illusion of my mind?

Why I do think no one’s kind?
Why my feelings are today blind?
O God Mercy! O God be kind

There are many sorrows in this world

Every sorrow has a name
Some one feelings are pretty tamed
Some one doesn’t control and then he is ashamed

But what name I give to my feelings?

Were these present in the non-civilized world?
Are we not actors who don’t cry the real cry?
What’s the name of my cry, this strange laughter?

27
 The Man of Action

He is the man of action

Doesn’t care for great frictions
He is from a daring section
He has valor of long session

He strives for a cause

All life in a boundless passion
All moments combine thinking and action
He strives hard for his soul’s perfection

Every man is his god of action

But He are your hands your actions
Obey him or be ruled by other’s fashion
To rule everyone is just everyone’s abstraction

He is the man of action

Valor is his greatest attraction
He isn’t just words or fraction
Actually Leader makes words action

28
 Words

Only words don’t work

He who denies it is a jerk
Work of words shouldn’t be your work
Actions are the real clothes of words

To deny something isn’t just to say

To accept words makes you a prey
Ask from me how words can play
These can kill these can make

A pen is stronger than a sword

And a pen controls a sword
Pen provokes love or hate
Demolish the pen which doesn’t enwake

And pen is mercy but it is not

The pen of Iqbal was just a trot
The Qaid wrote Pak from it
This makes the difference from other pens a lot

Your mind is not just enough

Your actions tell you are made from which stuff
A lion’s howe is not in some hut
He is tough his life is rough

His eye is of an eagle and hand of iron

Beware to whom you are in love

29
 Life

Sleeping at night
Working in daylight
Playing and working
Is a true life

Work with your hands

Make also your mind work
Whenever spared read and write
To be happy

Remember always your Allah

And live a balanced life
Live a natural life

30
 Love Doesn’t Exist

Love doesn’t exist

My mind keeps on resist
My heart is confused
Love doesn’t exist

Feelings are not felt

True words have been expelled
Water is every where
But drinkers have been melt

And lovers are every where

Loved ones are many
And love is sold
One ounce of each penny

And doesn’t differ past and present

At those times love was also sold
Population increases and world is big
Girls without hair boys wear wigs

Do true lovers today exist?

Are some from 6 billion or all are pigs

31
 Feelings

What is this feeling?

That every day I feel
Some moment of the day
Some grains of the clay

Sometimes I overcome it
Some times I can’t
Some times I call upon my love
Some times I feel beloved

Night passes like lightening

Whether I work or sleep
But the day is long
If I work

This feeling comes whenever I am awake

It always stinks me whether its too late
And in anxiety someone pats me
And wounds are healed as the time passes

Whether its anxiety or hate or wound or pain

I can’t tell what’s it, can’t say a word

Who is the teacher who can’t teach himself?

What is that wound which doesn’t inspire name?
Who is the teller who doesn’t know his own story?
What’s the myth which can be unleashed?

And all this can’t conclude what the feeling is

Every word written by me has thousand meanings
But still I fail to name this feeling
Name of puzzle should be known to solve it

32
 Now or Never

Now or never
Do it with dagger
Eliminate all false
Or be demolished for ever

Democracy is not the way

Comocracy is the key
Diplomacy is not just the way
Right always kills the wrong

Show the light only if you can see

Time will tell who sees better
Even Ayub couldn’t clean the trash
A good economist but not a ruler

You must make difficult decisions

Atta Turk didn’t kill only terrorists
What I am saying is good for every one
Don’t convince the fathers of logic

Just kill them and also the politicians

Bring in politics the new generation
Bring then after the able men
If you can’t do good then go to den

Yes pen can change but it cannot

Pen can be sword but it can be a trot
Rulers are rulers only by sword
Make them by gun to follow the law

And they decide by ballet not bullet

But they rule in power like dictators
And don’t be fooled by those you govern
Children of boots don’t listen words

Khomieni or Atta Turk or Hitler or Mussolini

All are good and rest are bad
To teach a culprit is to slap
Men don’t sleep in their wives laps

33
 Now or never
Destroy over clever
Learn from learning
Future comes back but present goes forever

34
 The Present

The ability to think

Dives in thought in thought it shrinks
Think even on small things
People who say you child, just don’t bother

Quran says you should think and do the right thing

Thinking is not a little thing
Open your eyes and do what He says
He is your ear your soul

Thinking is quiet but not so cold

It depends that where you it mold
Thinking of good days is better than bad days
But think also about bad days

What?
Learn a lesson from what you have done
Be in present but think also about past
Past is a film in which right and wrong is cast
Don’t make a mistake by making a mistake

The mistake of remembering past

But not correcting present
And not planning your future
Life is not a film not a feature

Life is a very good teacher

It teaches you how to live
How to live again
Prepare yourselves for loose for gain

This is not an easy game

But make this life also pleasant
This life is from God a great present
Keep here your mind, your body, your soul present

35
 Present others to make this life present
Teach others to present this present
Happiness or sorrow please enjoy this life
Learn to live learn to dive

Remember this the thing thrice

Love, Truth, Faith in your dice
This is not a compulsion just advice
Its up to you to make this world hell or nice

36
 Forward

An eagle is not just a bird

It is itself a sky
But to rule others
It flies and flies and flies
And he dies with a great voice
Die for others and live a great life

37
