Oh the traders of humanity! Oh the traders of blood and bullets! On a soil of peaceful dwellings, You sow seeds of hatred And make the air poisonous When innocents struggle to breathe You cut their throats And let them die free of all dreams. Oh you hatemongers! You never fail to make profit You […]
Swing Of Worries
Sitting on a swing of worries Moving back n forth Reaching nowhere Neither sky Nor ground Just in between Back n forth Back n forth Breeze appears to be dense Sunshine rather intense Lilies far away And lilacs misfit in the scene It all seems haywire From the swing of worries But When I call […]
In The Mirror
With my two brown eyes I see what is not seen But not see what is visible I see not the dark circles around your eyes I see the passion your eyes are burning with I see not the wrinkles on your countenance I see the years of compassion you served with I also not […]

Gaza Is Burning
On a burning stage of Gaza Life is betraying breathes of innocents Pious blood is not flowing But irrigating the soil To sustain the dying olive trees Buildings razed to ground And hospitals bombarded All in the name of defence Against unarmed women and children And the world deaf and dumb Cravenly watching the tears […]
Little Angels Left For Heaven
Those were soft and tiny Fragile angelic bodies The seraphic smile And chortling souls Wrapped in utmost innocence Pure and divine Little children… Some were still nestled Inside the wombs of their mothers Some were born a moment ago Some saw a few nights and bright days Some walked on their homeland A few steps […]
Desert Rose And My Thirsty Soul
Tired and broken, Dragging my soul To quench its thirst In a desert where sandWas the only treasure Amidst of sandA crimson rose was dancing Impearled with dewIt was defying the atrocious sunAnd, I, feeble and dying Sinking down in aPearlescent sandThat was Cradling a roseDrenched in dewMy gory feet Left red patches behind And I sunk a little more Into the sand,So pure and […]
In Love With Life 🌱
A tiny seed buried in the soilOblivious to its destiny It just rested in a moist darkness Cosseted by soft soil And caressed by dewIt got some courage And pined for a light still Afar from its soggy coat Love continued to pour in And kissed away its all frailty And tiny life within a heart of seedStarted to emerge Bit by bit Feeble life […]
