Nayyar Afaq Poems

While quietness of solitude conquers me,
A lost yearning,
Tweaks a string of violin at my ears;
Yearning to hear your voice.
...

Alone, I must stand.
Please, don’t ask to hold my hand.
Understand?
This is the end,
...

Star looked from sky at fish on beach.
Light fell on sand, and made a screech,
“A cruel wave has signed her dead.
Why did she leave a safe sea bed?
...

Dreams.
Every time, when I look at the window,
Across the stretched curtains of solitude,
Your face gleams.
...

I love my Creator,
But I hate Hell.
It makes me scared of Him.
“Isn’t it against His mercies? ”,
...

My soul mate!
Don’t ask about my (deflowered) dreams;
My false, hollow and coward dreams.
...

Her room was like a library,
I found her among the books.
Big glasses, bungled dress and hairs,
Philosopher by her looks.
...

She asked, “Hey, do you love me? ”
I wished, but spoke a lie.
I turned, “It’s just a friendship.”
But my heart had a cry.
...
