Nazmul Haque Poems

The concrete is visible,
the abstract is invisible.
The concrete is the outside,
the abstract is the inside.
...

Standing back into my heart's corridor
I waited for a while,
To see the river of my life,
To see the bird of my heart,
...

Dear, it's the same you I fall in love - a hundred times,
In a hundred forms - endlessly from now and forever.
It's the same loving heart singing forever the same love-song,
In so many tunes have you heard it,
...

Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha....
When I read each bangla letter
I remember with deep respect
Salam, Barkat, Rafiq Jabbar...
...

Beauty is a creation of love.
It is the loving eye that imparts it-
that creates it.
...

Thoughts are like ripples,
gently flowing over
the surface of the mind.
...

</>Love is the only bliss in life -
everything else deceives,
everything else is a mirage.
...

Endless rain
silently keeps falling
from the corners of my eyes,
Oh my sweetheart,
...

I want my life to be the way I like,
The little simple joy, the little simple desire.

Looking at the distant horizon
...

The pessimist goes on looking at
the darker side of things-
goes on denying the whiter side,
he accepts only half of the truth.
...

You are my dearest someone,
a flock of birds flying
in my heart's sky,
restless waves moving
...

The best of possessions
I am holding in my hand-
The Golden Apple on which is written-
'For the most fairest'.
...

Why shed these tears of sorrow?
Why shed these tears of grief?
Oh my heart how soon you forget,
After trials come sweet relief.
...

It's now autumn season,
and have you noticed
the mystical change
that nature now is going through?
...

Hate is love-
just standing upside-down.

Love and hate are not real opposites,
...

When you look inside
you will find infinite blueness,
a new sky opening up
with as many stars as outside,
...

Who says Paris was wrong
in giving the golden apple to Venus -
I would have done the same
if I were Paris...
...

Who are you?
You are nothing but an actor-
playing different roles
in different situations.
...

A dropp of water cannot include the ocean
but the ocean includes a dropp of water.
...

So many ways to tread,
So many variations of truth,
So many divisions of beliefs -
Which one to take, which one to avoid,
...

The Best Poem Of Nazmul Haque

The Concrete And The Abstract

The concrete is visible,
the abstract is invisible.
The concrete is the outside,
the abstract is the inside.
The concrete is objective,
the abstract is subjective.

People go on searching for
God in the concrete.
'We would like to see God'
-they say.

But only the concrete can be seen;
the abstract has to be felt.
The concrete can be seen-
with the eyes open,
the abstract has to be seen-
with eyes closed.

God is inside you, as you.
You cannot stand outside God
and see Him;
you can see Him
only from the inside-
by being Him.

If you see a flower,
you can look at it scientifically.
You look at the chemistry of it,
You dissect it and
you come to know
about the components of it.

But something is missed
in that very analysis.
The beauty is missed,
because beauty is not a component.
If you ask the scientist -
'Where is the beauty that was in the flower? ’ he will say-
'That was not there,
it was just an illusion.'

'I have dissected it-
all and all,
and these are the things
that I have found.
These chemicals were there,
this matter was there,
these atoms, these molecules....
but there was no beauty.'

But when the scientist
gives the flower to his wife,
he knows deep within his heart
he is not giving her
something chemical,
He is giving to her
the beauty of the flower.

A poet said -
'Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder',
But I say it lies in the heart of the lover.
That beauty is not be seen,
it has to be felt,
not from the outside,
but from the inside
by being the flower itself.
