A Poem Dedicated To My Murderer Poem by Naseer Ahmed Nasir

A Poem Dedicated To My Murderer

Rating: 4.9


If you strike a dagger in my chest
Do ponder
Air has no body.

Air is flow
Of running seas of life
It's a long story
Which has no beginning
And no end.

If you strike a dagger in my chest
Do ponder
Air is immortal
Air is mother's pat
Air is sound of a lullaby
Air is a prayer
Out of the mouth of babes!

(1983, Translated by Samina Amjad)

Air, like the testimony of truth, can never be vanquished. Excellent analogy here, Naseer! Warm regards, John.

Air you can't see, air is something untouchable, incorrigible that's right you can't murder air otherwise you will die too. A very good idea, well penned.

I think its a sensation: But for the loss in translation. The original conveys the real emotion, Separating it from the commotion! A belated Happy Birthday to you, Naseer! Cheers. Subroto

very nice. I hope air is immortal, but somehow I doubt this to be the case. I give you air's lifespan might seem immortal compared to a human life. In the end I am of the beleive that the sun is going to kill everything on this Earth; by the sun balloning into a red giant star out to Mars. If we, and I mean the human race cannot get along for a comman good we will die as if we never were! ! ! thanks my friend
