Our dream...

You and me and all those we love
Will discover a new emotion
hidden deep in our heart but unknown
to understand flow of tears over our cheeks
to know those tears which feared to flow.

You and me and those we love
will discover a new emotion
deep hidden in our expressions
to know depth of grief among smiling faces
to find panacea for anger and worry.

You and me and all those we love
will find reasons to live and live hereafter
will find source of happiness and joy
to go around millions of faces
let us find such a cause , you and me
and put a smile over their weary faces
let it be you and me and happiness for everybody.

Disappointment

*

Let God decide fate of people

I being one among these

Material judges of world; short sighted, can see

But to peep deep through and through

One lacking quality.

*

My fate is right, not my words

My destiny is right, not my acts

To be free of miracles is to be practical

Even if art does flow, for unknown

That is worthless in this cocoon.

*

My lines are true to my heart

My words are borrowed from art

Healing my wounds by weaving

Few thoughts through my words

Bewildered, I let some of these to chase

Worldly appreciation, like an insane.

*

During deep slumber in a dreamy night

Disgust woke me up soon

Like if a deer turned lion

Lamenting over change

In my thinking, in my aim.

*

I take a deep breath and a sigh

For my art and its cry.

TARIQ

Tragedy:

we had a dream,

a beautiful one

we still have a dream ,

a beautiful one

we always were distracted

by one or the other

we still are in distraction

away from our dream

our dream of freedom,

our dream of salvation

was always torn in disguise

sometimes by friend ,

sometimes by enemy

thus led to misery

thus led to agony

if you have a dream

you need shape it

with your thoughts

with your belief

if you fail ,

you lose your dream

this is tragedy of my kashmir
