Md. Asadullah Poems

All of a sudden came infront of me.
Fearless, bold and daring was she.
Opened all her clothes one by one.
I stood still, momentarily stunned.
...

Standing hand folded,
heart filled with humility.
I ask for your mercy.
I ask for your help.
...

I search east, I search west.
From both I only select best;
And then I discard the rest.
...

You search inner peace in drugs
and alcohol, in gambling and dice.__
You search it in haram money
and music and in dens of the vice.__
...

Enemy you want to destroy and kill.
You want to see him dead and still.

Hours you spent thinking about him.
...

Who are they? Who are they?
Why all these fights, why this fray?
Why innocents are killed, why they are displaced?
Why minorities are ill treated, why they are chased?
...

Can we call it freedom if it divides?
Is it correct to ridicule revered name?
Was that in defence of freedom?
Or was that for easy money and fame?
...

A widow in her fifties she was.
Lived in petty hut made out of straws.
Had no relatives dwelt all alone.
Only neighbours were her own.
...

In seclusion when I sit;
And close both my eyes.
I travel way back in time.
Flying time vision defies.
...

It is so very easy to quote
Muhammad, Jesus and Moses.*
It is so very easy to utter
words filled with fragrant roses.
