Light

October 26, 2023 AB 24 Comments

inspiration is everywhere
every breath is an opportunity,
to do more, to say something new,
soul renews, every morning every night,
dispel darkness, let there be light,
sweet or savoury, sumptuous delight,
wherever you look, beauty in sight
silence says nothing, words all the might
write and write, till dawn kisses your pen

Each moment

Numerous arrival, departures

Sapiens and ants, similar

Names, traces of been here

Before, now, afterwards

Life, death, disease,

Sorrow, jubilation,

deep, shallow

Contraptions, contradictions

such is the daily rush

Brain is mush, and

time just passes

without regard to

wasted youth

blasted truth

how did I get here

Mighty heart beams
Happiness out of seams
A smile telling all
For a bundle so small
girl for a girl, it seems
most joyful being

Humanity – the book

August 22, 2023 AB 12 Comments

The current civilisation of Human species has come a long way in the last five thousand years. The technology is mesmerising, architecture astounding and knowledge is touching nebulae and far flung galaxies. Our values however are perhaps not showing same level of progress. There is continuous war and hunger. Inequality is increasing every moment, pursuit of wealth has made most of us blind from the misery of our brethren living just few moments away from us. Environment is a concern for the tree hugging minority only. Destruction of forests, extinctions of wildlife species and increasing temperatures globally is a commonality not even worthy of daily news anymore. This age of individuality and trying to live life through social media has made our planet more ignorant, less tolerant and a troll infested realm. I hope, wish and pray that some of these terrible trends will reverse in the not so distant future and humanity snaps out of this current craze of abominable behaviour. This short book of poems and images try to highlight my humble observations in an abstract setting.

I will try to spread this message of compassion and equality until the time is upon me. Here is the latest instalment in the form of a book at IBOOks store (free)

Alone in a crowd

August 12, 2023 AB 16 Comments

Feeling absolutely lonely
with hundreds around
Unspeakable conversations
Forgetful sounds
Life could have been better
if lived as a hermit
Jungles, dark deserts
No pretence, no permit
Animals real friends
Trees companions true
Winds carry wishes
Earth protecting you

Faces

July 12, 2023 AB 35 Comments

Food and hunger
Calm and danger
Friend, stranger
All we see
Show our pain
moments we lost
Unexpected gain
Some show grace
Pure lust too
Crazy thoughts
False or true
Happy, sad
Pensive, mad,
Some red,
faces

Singapore – hotel balcony and staring into a staircase

Gallery July 12, 2023 AB 52 Comments

neon lights
day in nights
City declaring
end of dark rites
find your purpose
written on the billboard
gold coins in dozens hoard
Eden on earth, party in paradise
limbs deeply sore, blind by the sun rise
looking back at that time, what to take away!

Here are few snaps from my hotel balcony, I also found this staircase amusing 🙂

Acute contradictions in love

June 12, 2023 AB 18 Comments

Let’s lose ourselves
in those thirst filled eyes
blossoming hearts annihilated
bludgeoned souls mutilated

destinations staring at pathways
where is the missing traveller
heart cries full of hope
rambler’s fortitude is timid

in beloved’s beautiful
treacherous meadow
only flowers are free of
castigated shadows

millions hearts bound in chains
souls have been slain
paradoxical nights sobbing
it is my time for robbing

you from those sadist spells
listen, screaming
loud silence of the universe
heart runs in rage,
and is beloved bound

perhaps today
she will hear the cry
my sinking scream
without a sound

چلو ھم ساتھ کھوتے ہیں
تیرۍ تشنگی پُر آنڪھون پر
دل برباد کھوتے ہیں

منازل راہ تکتی ہیں
کہاں بچھڑا کہاں ڪھویا
امیدیں بھر کے دل رویا
مسافر قدم دل تھام کے رکھ تو
مرے محبوب کی وادی ہے
صرف پھولوں کو آزادی ہے

کروڑوں دل مقید ہیں
بڑے نازوں سے رکھتی ہے
عجب راتیں سسکتی ھیں

کسی دن آکے توڑوں گا
تیرا طلسم نہ چھوڑوں گا
صدایں کائنات کی سن کے
دل ناساز دوڑوں گا

کہ شائد آج کے دن وہ مِری
فریاد ہی سن لے
اور میری ڈوبتی آخر
عدم آواز ہی سن لے

That memory of you

May 28, 2023 AB 28 Comments

longevity of
some precious moments
which last till eternity
in your memories,

when all else fails,
Thoughts start leaving you,
you still hold onto,
lasting, tasting that feeling,

how soft were those lips,
how eyes smiled,
how we flew in the air,
Stayed there for a while

warmness of temple,
blushing cheeks,
long full eye lashes,
slowly opening bliss

as you hold onto
prolonging, extending
tongue bending
passion sending, kiss
