Aftab Alam Poems

Was I anywhere?
I was nowhere,
Yet existed somewhere,
Existence: Beginning to the End.
...

I am always disgusted as an evil omen
For my unpleasant cry and look; a crook.
One should not forget my foolish sacrifice.
I hatch the sweet throated spring cuckoo
...

Out of bed, before down,
Thinks about the universe,
Recites the holy verse,
Praise of Almighty,
...

See the top peak of the humanity is melting,
Through the poverty-thatched-edged- eaves
People has not seen the sun, hope is pelting,
We like autumnal tree dry thought like leaves,
...

I am fooling to him and he is fooling to me,
We both are fooling to each other,
It is known to the both,
Yet we both are enjoying,
...

This is the world where I dream,
What I am? like you a stream,
Flowing following listing the song,
What harm in this, I feel no wrong,
...

Old faithful friend what we call-dog,
Yet no one likes to be called -dog,
The formidable, furious -tiger or lion,
Unfaithful, yet we like to be called-lion,
...

Moss to gigantic tree,
Underneath water to river,
They are in fact-
Son and daughter to this Earth
...

I am dying on my life bed,
Green earth is now being red,
With thought brush and blood,
Painting millions dead flood,
...

Drenched with rain wrapped with dark cloud,
Raining within me, I'm veiled with shroud,
My sun has hid somewhere-unseen,
I am groping my sun Its my hope I mean,
...
