My love, I want to meet you, My love, I want to see you, My love, I want to taste each of your tears, You are unseen, but I have seen you, In my dreams, prays, wishes & also in my love, My love, when we will be together?, After a longtime my love, my heart is gone away, Its with you unseen, The brilliance of love for you in my eyes, Your name, I only remember your name, You are my everything, My love, you think about me, or not?., Do you remember my name, as I do, Solitude makes me to think of you, Why these unseen, unknown feelings are coming to me, why? For the person, to whom I have seen a long time ago, Why ?

Peace
I saw a dream about love and peace I saw there is no war Love and Peace near and far Missiles turned into Pencils Bombs turned into Books Bullets turned into Flowers Mines turned into Tulips I saw smiling young and Old I touched the guns and find them cold When I awake there, nothing changes All weapons remain the same

Peace is a thing we always want But nobody gives us in real I hate people who don’t give Us Peace At least we should have no war I love Peace But I like nothing when There is no Peace

The chase
All armed and ready to attack, I knew the animal had no escape. The opponent was strong and fierce, With fangs and claws always ready to pierce. Ferocious eyes and a fast run, Gave me a doubt about the target of my gun. Sometimes it was difficult to trace, And it became a long chase. With great confidence I struck the trigger, And in few seconds saw the blooded animal’s figure. I was overjoyed at my victory, But now it’s part of my history!

An ode to the luminous one! Thou art indeed the blazing Red Ball in the sky, That gives life to the green thicket hereby. Thy rays fall upon the twinkling diamonds, And on the moon, that shimmers nearby. In winter the sun’s scorch lessens, But thy warmth always caresses by. Thy rays embrace me and clasp my hand by and by. They intend to tell me oh beloved thou art very sly. Thine I shall be till eternity so sense my petty sigh, Render me a favour dear, Let not my body turn cold when I die!

New Year
May this year brings many happiness to this world, To you all happy new year happy new year. Our new step in the year 2004, In this tough world we should struggle more. Of course china will invent something great, Pakistan is even not too bad. The world and humans will lose one year, No sadness because people love and care. My luck, january hold my birthday, New year will really be a happy day.

Winter is here
Warm showers And toasty blankets Soft pullovers And comfy mitts Roasted peanuts And a drink of chocolate A little coal fire Burning in the grate Pink fluffy slippers That make my feet cozy And grandmother’s magical story That makes me feel dozy Pretty stuffed teddies That I cuddle with care Are a few things those tell That winter is here!
