Imthiyaz Khan Poems

I was born in a family of farming
I used to get up early in the morning
I took to walking under the sun of scorching
Thus I made my way to Government School
...

I am sorry mother India!
Independence we have had
for more than six decades!
The feeling of freedom
...

Oh Sacred Fire!
What relation
are you to us?
From cradle to bier,
...

My dear wisdom!
Where can I find thee?
In books or life?
...

Complete confusion I am in
like Abhimanya,
as to what to call culture!
Unable I feel to find
...

Sepulcher I prefer
to world without you!
At last determined
to live and die for sure!
...

Tell me how long it takes to dawn dear!
Impatient I turn to witness day break!
Frozen whether my bones become I fear!
Anxious I have been to herald the news:
...

Help me...
Help me take the term
'Sister in law'
Lawful or lawless.
...

Oh night!
I wonder how many roles thou play!
Thy outset is a pleasure
For troops to make merry
...

I fear…I fear…
I shall be …
No more youthful!
...
