POETS’ CORNER
Rain
Rain Rain Rain.
I am waiting for you again.
In such hot days I am waiting for a splash in water.
With cool wind and water I will play all day.
My mother asks me to remain at home
But I cannot miss the beautiful rain.
I don’t like the muddy water on the roads.
But still I want rain to come back again.

Mango
Mango is the king of all the fruits
Highest status among the fruits
Mango has many kinds
Every one wants even blinds
Every market every bazaar
Mango is eaten during war
Sweet and tasty, green and yellow
We make chutney of raw mango
Hurry! Kids let us go
Off we go to bazaar to buy mango.
S. Raza Ali Rizvi, Karachi
Friendship never ends
Things have suddenly taken an abrupt turn
When sun’s lights cools and snowfalls burn
As I left you and went around
Friends like you are nowhere found
I still have friends but none is like you
Because no one for me is as special as you
As I think of you, you always seem to be near
The disaster of leaving you I will have to bear
Thinking of you, I remember those moments
When, on special days you gave me presents
You were always with me when I was in need
As truly said, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”
You gave me a shoulder to cry on when I had fears
You used to console me and dry up my tears
But now those moments have gone and time has flown away
The only thing we can do for each other is pray
Whether you choose medical and I do engineering
What only matters is our friendship which is a blessing
No one can ever dare to break our relation
I always thank God for you as His most precious creation
Friendship like ours is seen very rare
Our friendship is the only thing for which we will always care
I assure you that we are forever friends Just believe in the saying that, “Friendship never ends”.
Zaufishan Zaidi,

Listen little girl!
Oh little girl! Oh little girl
Your dreams are like a necklace of pearls
Your eyes are not for flow of tears
You don’t know the hardships of this world
Oh little girl! Oh little girl!
The stars that shine can read your mind
The sun that glows sees a wet pillow
Your plans are just out of this world
Oh little girl! Oh little girl!
If you want to fulfil your dreams and wishes
To pluck the flowers and breakup bushes
Then pray to God for whole the world
Oh little girl! Oh little girl!

My holidays
My holiday was nice.
We also ate rice.
We played with ball.
We went to so many halls.
We went to interesting places.
And saw beautiful faces.
We came back by plane.
Our holidays have spent.

Innocent deer
Once
A lion hidden in bushes
Waiting for his pray, deer
To satisfy his hunger
From his hunger it seems clear
He had been waiting for years.
Alas
Here at last the poor deer
Fell prey in his cruel claws
Were she aware of that lion
Like a “snake in the grass”
She wouldn’t have gone across.
Imagine
How the hungry cruel lion
Would have satisfied his blood thrust
From the pretty and innocent deer
Here other weaker too were waiting
To get some share from resting.
Saira Khan
The lady with the lamp
A woman famous for nursing,
So loving and caring,
She gave the concept of nursing,
For she felt men suffering,
The founder of modern nursing
The lady with the lamp,
The great “Florence Nightingale”
Amama Muhammad Irfan,

I adore you my parents
God has bestowed on me; a very lovely fate
He blessed me with parents; who are really great
They listen to my screams
They understand my dreams
I wanted a lot to say
And today got the day
So I say, I adore you Father and Mother
Only because of you, I never bother
I adore you more, than stars in the sky
I can’t explain to you, but giving a try My love is a true as chirping of birds
I love you more, than maintains on this earth
My love for you is deeper than sea
My love for you have no boundary
Nobody ever can be a substitute for you
I know I can’t pay gratitude to you
I just pray to God to send his angles to you
To shower His blessing with their wings upon you
Mahjabeen Aslam,
Rawalpindi
