Did you see my mum?
You frown?
What does it mean:
Who is my mum?
...

My heart breaks into pieces
When I think of her
I never thought I would suffer this much
When she goes away from me.
...

The day came at last
The time for departing
My love left me today
In her wedding garbs
...

Often in my sleep
A new world opens to me
As I step in the door closes
A wraithlike crystal world
...

Lailathul Qadr
The undisclosed holy night
In ramzan, Muslim’s holy month
Better than a thousand nights
...

Beneath the seas
Hid the sun his beaming face
The lonely walker stood there
To answer the faceless question.
...

The cool zephyr from the Arabian Sea
Was kissing the dewy leaves of trees;
The stars were shining and blinking at me
Through the pores of foliated trees.
...

I always think
Of telling you
My sweet heart
Of my love-
...

People say, Death is invisible
But he's there everywhere
Men are simple creatures feeble
To comply with commands that bare.
...

In a fine evening
When the hills wore purple hue
I was walking,
Along a bend less road,
...

We met in our prime age
And made memories;
Though colorless and lifeless
Enough to tend our hopes.
...

Real friendship
Nothing but knowing each other
Ability to feel others emotions;
A feeling beyond words………
...

Come near my dear
Don’t go away
For thy presence
Make me pleasant
...

“What is death? ”
He asked once
There was none to answer
But the wind heard him
...

I saw a flower
Not so fresh, enchanting
It has no sweet smell as roses have.
But it has the thorns of roses.
...

On the memory of my spring days
Let me scribble these little things
Though the sweet days of youth are gone
And lost among the leaves of past
...
