Redemption

By Asim • May 1st, 2008 • Category: Misc

Ask me my friends of words,
As I create this flutter
See them in action, those birds
Never they fall, never they stutter
Don’t kill the effect and its essence
Murder it is for the muse
Imagine the impact and its menace
Rise like those rainbows in its cruise
Depart these words of prose and rhyme
Brutality of mind and its characters
As we walk [...]



Immersed in deliberations

By Asim • Apr 30th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Of all those moments we cannot see
What lies beyond, all we see is fiction
Of our shortcomings, of our failures
Issues we cannot resolve, we blame
On someone else, not our burden,
Incapable, barren like the land
From years of wasteful efforts
Find them we all everywhere
In streets, these signatures of their crime
Immersed in deliberation, the old plots
To reincarnate the old [...]



My Monsoon Song

By Asim • Apr 30th, 2008 • Category: Misc

Lost in my existence,
Undetermined,
Knows no one of my state
Sleeps here, your memory
Of friendship and distance
My barren soul, in monsoon
This madness beckons
How shall I spend?
This exotic loneliness
These states of my heart
Return you to me
Like old flowers of favors
In this state of madness
And this music flows
Through memory you come
The intoxicated effect
Of loneliness,
In madness, I resort
As it burns [...]



Wild Orchards

By Asim • Apr 28th, 2008 • Category: Misc

I am the same person
Who once existed
For your ideology and promise
For years
In between
The two enemies
Through the old landscape
Haunted and gripped
In its old spirit
Once it was me,
The same person
In music and poetry
I found myself
From travels of past
In wild orchards
The offerings of youth
As the time switched on
From present into past
As the regions slip into darkness
Here I am [...]



I will find it

By Asim • Apr 26th, 2008 • Category: Misc

In these empty corners of this earth,
I belong somewhere, a land of my own
I hear my names, as my soul cries
Alone and abandoned, in my search
From one place to another, I move
Like an orphan from one home to another
In these empty corners of this earth,
I belong somewhere, a land of my own
As these caravans of [...]



Distortedly Vague

By fzuberi • Apr 26th, 2008 • Category: Misc

The torment of my life sinks
in the depth of her eyes
and pain is comparable to the skies
ghum ki gherayi ishq ki bulandi hai
mera ishq aur ghum aik hi hai
take me a away on the raft
you call life
drifting back and forth
in the sea of time
When the dusk breaks the
Cloth of last night’s storm
Brings the need
Pinching like [...]



The Story

By Asim • Apr 25th, 2008 • Category: Misc

Remember us
When you are alone
Busy in your life
The old prayers
Unasked for,
With no conditions
Only the hope and desire
some day you will find us
when we are gone
too old to remember
in this life and times
our story and our lives!



Unknown

By Asim • Apr 24th, 2008 • Category: Misc

In their misery, offer they diversity
Into human soul and its mechanics
We don’t hear or see them
And yet in existence, they offer
Beauty and pain, we walk past
Carefree and not observant
Like unknown hands, they perform
Old functions of humanity, we take
For granted, for leisure and reflection
What will we get we ask,
Ask you the wrong questions
Ask us, how we [...]



Empty Hands

By Asim • Apr 23rd, 2008 • Category: Misc

Don’t forget
As you leave
To bring me
The present
An old painting
Years later,
Stands there,
The old painting
And her colours
In revolt, in silence
Empty hands
I return
All these years
In search
Fading away
The existence!



Sulphuric Acid

By Asim • Apr 23rd, 2008 • Category: Misc

They had faces but all gone,
the whole thing was so insane.
Now she creeps in slowly to
see her reflection in the rain..
They had dreams but all gone,
the whole thing was so insane.
Now she is alone in her room
to catch her shawdows in vain.
They learnt to love but all gone
The whole thing was so insane.
Now she stands [...]
