Say To Your Eyes, Don’t Gaze Poem by Aftab Alam

Say to your eyes, not to gaze
Lest lids cover them
Ah! Youth is such a lovely phase
For so, if entered in your heart
Through your eyes
with the love ladder
I will be barred within your heart
With emotional shudder.
Say to your tresses, don’t bring cumulus
That brings showery rain, no fuss
Say to your eyes, not to gaze
Lest lids cover them
Ah! Youth is such a lovely phase
Say to your heart throb beat not
Breathing magic-music so hot.
A vagabond, a traveller, I am
Called by any name or no name
Why heart that keeps the words
Lips restrict
Make the words chirping birds
Lo! here I move, leaving my heart
Will you control weigh heavy
I am not less than a wine
Drink not dear, for as
Your gait and style, so wavy

Say not to me; Shameless
It is your words from your heart
Don’t make it Ode
Say to your eyes, not to gaze
Lest lids cover them
Ah! Youth is such a lovely phase
