Aftab Alam Poems

I am Quite Sure


I am quite sure, It's my fate
...

I never desired,
You should love,
Why I wait for love enchants!
For I know, love is beyond the desire,
...

Whenever, I am surrounded by the complete darkness,
Puzzled mind and blurred eyes, horse with no harness,
Soundlessly I shouted into my eternal world; within me,
"O Lord! Chance me to ride; I am not yet praised to thee, "
...

Waqt ne hanthon me khanjar thamaa diyaa,
Insaan ko bhi isne kaise haiwaan bana diyaa,
Aag lagaaye phir yun lagaate challe gaye
Itni lsgaayee aag ki khud ko jalaa liyaa
...

अमावस की रात है, दीयों का साथ है,
धरती दुल्हन बन बैठी, वाह! क्या बात है
खुशी है जजबात है, जश्न की रात है,
उजाले की जीत है, अंधेरे की मात है,
...

Buried deep,
Under the soil,
Dreaming…
Sleeping…
...

Ye meri qabr hai, koyee rone ki jagah nahi,
Ansuon se in chraghon ko bujha na dena
Mujhe andhere me rahne ki aadat nahi,
Mere qabr ko hamd se roshan kar dena
...

Ye must know-
Why I do poetry?
Because it is medicine,
For my grief, agony and pain,
...

Often, I sat in my dream world and think,
White, green, saffron, red, blue and pink,
A couple is called two bodies with single soul
If they try to encroach; thought, they roll,
...

I love you,
Life of vulgarity ends,
Every one desires love for chastity,
...
