POEM 115
HOW CAN YOU COMPETE...?
There is
no way to blame
you for choosing
to stay far remove
for your children's sake
my heart
looking upon
shreds for clothes
your dignity stripped
war induced poverty..
Just think...
You cant hide the rags
they call your clothes
nor keep your respectability
even your Pashto language
seems stripped of pride.

POEM 116
YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT...
Like the cat
are you....
Appearing weak
yet proud
always keeping hidden
from light
But just wait
one day ...
the cat within
escapes ...
like a hungry tiger,
hunting...

POEM 117
HEAVENLY PEOPLE OF HELL
Submission in God
religions they follow
their actions atheistic...
Sins of the people
ignoring teaching
shall lead to hell...
Hypocrisy in prayers
wishes of their ego
the religion of their hearts.

POEM 118
WAR
Whenever
I chop the head
and kill ...
Another arises
I kill again
another grows,
War's endless cycle
causing sorrow
and enduring pain
None can hide
nor rout it out
on going till time ends

POEM 119
HEAVEN OR DREAM
Everywhere...
Angels...
Is this heaven?
I feel myself in heaven
beautiful landscapes
flowing fountains
majestic mountains.
Everywhere
beautiful girls
waving flowers
strolling around,
Though undeclared
the winner of reward
I, like the butterfly
I am enjoying blooms

POEM 120
WAR FOR THE SAKE OF GOD
( In Context with Afghan civil war)
Willing to quench
your thirst ...
Jehad..
The holly war...
Think you well
before taking the sword
And call for Jehad
Oh brother...!
Fulfill my last desire...
After killing me
take my bloody body
to my grave.
May my promised wife
Your sister
remain unwed
let no henna
touch her hand.
And...
Beware these well wishes
who offered up
this idea of killing
For our common good.
For Pashto religion
will never accept them
As a soldier of God
a true martyr.

POEM 121
WHEN EVER …
YOU HUG ME
Destructive memories...
Endless are these
attempts to stop
this fire of lust ...
I doomed to lust
the fire burns
heart's extreme
Meeting again
your soft hug
stokes the fire
Thoughts of your name
the fires fuel
consumes me.

POEM 122
LORD
Am I ...
Strange Lord
of your heart
There is no question
your wants
take control...
Your beauty
enslaves me...
as I am now.
_____
POEM 123
TRUTH MAY ANGER
I believe
without doubt
your vow of love.
But oh my beloved..!
My trust wanes
in words spoke
lies they became.
Hundreds before
vowed as you
yet none are here
_____
POEM124
HOW TO BELIEVE..?
How ...
Am I to believe
Your love serious ...
I wonder...
Do you feel my pain
as I feel yours ...
Is it real ...
My eyes are open
you are no dream...
Still you hide...
like I am not known
merely a stranger
And still...
its you
lays claim to love.
