Melody
The world itself a melody
where every instrument is playing with music
we sing together, we dance together
we laugh together, cry together,
die together, born together,
enjoy the whole item of beauty
with a melody that is going on always among us
proud of our birth
always hand in hand a splash of water
try to fly in the brown sky
time after time
run after the wave of the ocean
we wander on the grass, ponder over things
break the heart again built
stand together
fall dividing
all are fixed as if from long day and night
circling the ground there is a harmony
to bend on each other
to cross the unparalleled
beats the drum more loudly
that weaves the heart into melody.
My Eid Day
I flooded the ground with blood
By sacrificing my goat to Allah
Today in the morning
After coming from Eidgah
I performed my duty
To obey the law
It’s a blessing for me, for us
A bless all over the world
I am very grateful to Allah
Who has made the earth
Created us as human beings
The best of all creation
We are accountable to Him
To reach the goal
It’s a joy for me, joy for us
We open our heart to be in touch of love
Regardless of caste, high and low,
Rich and poor, creed and foe
We are all the same rank
This celebration is for all
We distribute the meat among the poor
We taste our meat from door to door
We hang together, my embrace to all
My pray for all
May Allah grant us
peace and comfort
in this critical world.
A Sleep for Ever
When an angel will whisper in my ear
I’ll shut my eyes
Stop breathing
How should I feel then?
When my sleep will be so deep
That I would never awake
You can call me again and again
But the leafs of the eyes will not respond
tight in sleep
I’ll not see you then
I’ll not see the open field
I’ll not see the shadowy trees
not hear the calls of the birds
Not go to the banks of the rivers
To the seashore
Not rise my head to see the vast blue sky
At this very moment
My heart urges me to keep my eyes fixed
To whatever I see
I see, see and see
Absorbing in deep sleep.
Refugee
Persons who are forced to leave the country
Where they have been living for years after years in their mother land
for political, social or religious turmoil
are the refugees
A problem arises now that seen before, a severe problem
Daily average eight thousand people are trying to enter
In the European countries from Syria and Iraq
They want shelter
They want to have rights
But not easy to possess, access
Then what’s the crisis?
The crisis for existence
How to live, how to manage, how to breath
A fear, humiliation always acts on the mind
That breaks the body’s strength
People are waiting for days after days
They are waiting with their children, wives
and others
How it be tolerated
When a child is sitting or
standing before the police
crying for what is not
I can’t suppress my tear
Just like the drops of rain
rolling round the grass to grow.
Touch
A touch of my love
A power, a light, removes the darkness of night
Your warm loving hand
When you keep on my body
Revives my strength
As a raindrop
Sprouts the leaves from dry grass
You are my heart, my love
Only a touch of you
Paves the way to walk
The sun rises only with the touch
Flowers bloom
Birds sing
The sky blue
The fields green
Seep the lips
That starts the rain of light
Morning breeze
Sooth the mind
All seem colourful before me only if you
Are in touch of me.
