Poetry from Mahbub Alam

Middle aged South Asian man with reading glasses, short dark hair, and an orange and green and white collared shirt. He's standing in front of a lake with bushes and grass in the background.
Mahbub Alam

Time

Time passes away from us too quick

Time counts all our deeds

Time takes away all that we

Think and perform in present or past

Time ticks, time hits, time makes us live

Time switches on the light

Look so bright

Time takes to the unknown where no one can reach

Time is like the smoke within moments flew away out of sight

Time deals with the power in one

Time plays tricks to the others

Time is certain

Time is uncertain

Time opens the door to enter

Time stands as bar for more

How can I say ‘Good Bye’ to my dear ones?

We are bound to abide by the moment we depart from

Though the sky is so high

Time takes us higher than the starry sky

O time, can you tell me where I would be

After thousands of years?

I know you can’t because you are dumb and dull

I have the answer from your boss

We are always on our journey to reach Him.
