I, S. Ehler – Porter (a Graphic Designer) also known as ZIE have had the great pleasure of reading through the work of AFZAL SHAUQ in different literary sections on net. He has the most inspiring poetry I have read quite a long time. He is a great poet and now my good friend too. Though, he wrote his poems in Afghani language ( what he calls it Pashto) but his books are being translated into English by Alley Boling ( Alice Alley Ann . M) and Andreea Sarcani who are quite devoted to his literary work to extend to the world as they did TWIST OF FATE in recent times.

 

The themes of AFZAL’S verses are unique to the western world , maybe owing to the change of eastern ethos in terms of it’s norms, values, taboo , customs and lifestyle as well.

 

Most of the topics covered in his poetry are love, peace and dreams for all mankind turn out to be true. Which is impossible but he seems not to be refrained from his unattainable claim of peace for all. Aside from the above, I found him searches for the ideal woman, threw her eyes, and face of true love. I would love to introduce any one to this great poet for his words mean so much and are from the heart. I love the following small poem of his collection of poetry very much. Let me share with readers too…..

COMPLETION

*****

I awoke

Sound the sleep ...

The whole world

was paired off.

Every where couples...

But I was one ...

I stood alone

only my shadow

beside me....

Yet the shadow

gave me hope ...

I am in good company.
