POETS CORNER
Birthday wishes
You are so nice
You are so kind
I like you very much
You have a good mind
May all good things
Come your way
I wish you good health
And all of the good things
You wish for yourself
It’s a great day today
For it is your day today
Father I wish you this day
A very very Happy birthday
I pray to God to bless you
Every night and every day.
REHMA TIRMIZEY
Remember
Remember me when I have gone away
Gone far away into the silent land
When you can no longer hold me by the hand
Remember me when no more, day by day,
You tell me of your future, which you planned Only remember me
I know you’ll understand
It would be by then too late to pray
Yet if you should forget me for a while
Just remember, do not grieve
Or better still, you should forget and smile
Rather than remembering and being sad.
NIDA AFRAZ (Annie)
Rainbow
There was a rainbow
Wearing a colourful bow
Which had seven colours
Like beautiful flowers
I saw it in the evening
Before it was time for sleeping
It went up high and high
And it brightened the sky
The colours were bright
Giving a wonderful light.
SAAD KHATRI, 9 years
Exams
Oh my God! Exams are here
They are bringing terror, fright and fear
Oh how they loom on my head
They chase me in my dreams
And do not let me eat ice-creams
Ice-cream, you know, may cause cough and flu
Which will stick to me like glue
I am under mental tension
Which cause me palpitation
Oh God! When will they go?
And let me watch my favourite TV show
But for now, I can only see
Exams here and exams there
They bring me terror, fright and fear...
ZAINAB SAEED MOHSINI
The sun
The sun is round
Like a yellow coloured ball
But it is really burning hot
Hotter than any teapot
It is a ball of flame
And ‘sun’ is it’s name.
AIMAN
Life
Life is gold
It is a gift so good
It is not so old
It is like ice
Which melts away slowly
So don’t waste it
There should be no misuse
Put it to good use.
FIZZA RUKHSAR
Rain
Brain, brain, brain
I want it to rain
So think of ideas to make it rain
It is so much fun in the rain
It is
a great chance
For children to sing and dance
And take baths
Even on footpaths.
SUHAEE ABRO, 8 years
Book of memories
Hidden in the attic
All the way upstairs
Is something very special
That I would like to share
My hopes, my dreams, old photographs
Of good times and bad times that make me laugh
The joy of a hug
The thrill of a kiss
Leaves me to remember the pure, simple bliss
I cry for the fun
And giggle for the pain
I enjoyed the good life
I was able to maintain
The thoughts and wishes
They all stay with me
All of these are contained in my book of memories.
ALI AHMED, 10 years
Try
Try and try forever
Try and touch the sky
God listens to that man
Who knows how to work hard
Try and try forever
You have to save many lives
You have to respond to the cry
Try and try forever
Try and touch the sky
Don’t ask me why?
Just try and try forever
It is the only way to reach the sky.
SARMAD RIAZ FAROOQUI
Friend
One should have a friend
To share one’s feelings
To help out in bad times
To show the right way
One should have a friend
To gather around and enjoy
To accompany each other
To assist each other
To throw a party in one’s honour
I too have such a friend
Who’s different from others
With whom I share my secrets
Having him makes me feel lucky.
