A constantly swimming shark survives
Hunting, eating, fornicating, it thrives
Forward motion, the answer therein lies
When a shark stops swimming, it dies.

Deathbed
He, your father,
said, ‘Ghulam Qadir’ …
You, my father,
will say, ‘Zafar …’
A legacy of ‘hate’
The wait … and … too late.

Repeating Itself
‘Please don’t give me your disease – Silence
And your poison – Indifference’ …
Now I hand back what you gave
Take them with you to the grave.

With Intent
My intention is your domination
Domination adds excitation to your seduction
Your domination gives me satisfaction
My passion is fired by your subjugation
Your possession during coition is my obsession
My intention is your domination
Your domination gives you satisfaction.
My intention is your domination
Domination kills inhibition frees the action
Your domination gives me satisfaction
My willing woman without any objection
Your affection depends on the condition of my standing ovation
My intention is your domination
Your domination gives you satisfaction.
My intention is your domination
Domination means annihilation of the opposition
Your domination gives me satisfaction
My ambition is to achieve your gratification
In my estimation my dedication is a measure of my adulation
My intention is your domination
Your domination gives you satisfaction.
My intention is your domination
Domination is a celebration of equal sensation
Your domination gives me satisfaction
Our combination will cause an eruption
My healthy fascination is the invention of a new position
My intention is your domination
Your domination gives you satisfaction.

Tonight
Tonight a glacier freezes my burning heart
You pierced it so casually with a careless dart
Once our hearts beat together but now they’re far apart
Women have got saying goodbye down to a fine art
The end is always so different from the start.
Tonight a desert spreads to every corner of my bed
Next to me is the empty pillow on which you once lay your head
Soon someone else will feast on your luscious body instead
Our love was brief but the endless grief fills me with dread
Tomorrow’s sun will never warm my soul that is now dead.
Tonight I lie awake in memory of you
The thoughts that chill me like icy dew
‘You only loved me half as much as I love you’
‘I was just a phase you were going through’
My love, how am I going to live without you?

The Last Poem
This is the last poem
I’ll ever write about you
This is the last poem
I’ll ever dedicate to you
This is the last poem
I’ll ever send to you
This is the last poem
In loving memory of you :
The pools of your almond eyes
Where the love-light flowed over the brim
The ocean of lava between your thighs
Where I always loved to swim
Our limbs were wings that flew the skies
Our bodies felt like a pagan pilgrim
All our prayers were said with heartfelt sighs
I worshipped at your holy shrine deep within.
Sugar was like salt compared to your kiss
So sweet that no words can tell
Your hips had a path leading to bliss
So narrow that love died if it fell
But I went up that path as easy as this
You said no-one else could do it half as well
But now … oh, it is torture to reminisce
Farewell, my sweet love, farewell.

Detached Retina
Out of sight is not out of mind
But you have to be cruel to be kind
Nurse the heartache if you want to survive
Put yourself first in order to stay alive
When common ground cannot be found
Travel your own path, stay safe and sound
When basic communication has broken down
Pack your heart to the other side of town
Cut the cord and leave them behind
Step to one side and you will find
You have to be cruel to be kind
But out of sight is not out of mind.

Heart Surgery
Cut you out of my heart?
How can I imagine doing that?
My heart is you, you are my heart
You are in every part
From the first to the last
From the finish to the start
From the pulse throbbing through each vein
Till the very last drop of blood to remain
Each heartbeat sighs your name over again
Cut you out of my heart?
If only it was easy as that
You are impossible to live without
But you act as if you could not care less
My life without you is meaningless
I have to operate to clean up this mess
I never want to cry, never be hurt again
Never lose sleep, never risk going insane
Once and for all cut out the unbearable pain
Cut you out of my heart?
Take a scalpel, slice my chest apart
Grab my beating heart, cut it clean out.

Your land mass is 4x bigger
Your population is 6x larger
Your wealth is 10x larger
Your army is 5x bigger
Pick on somebody your own size.

Militant
What do I want above all?
I want to work hard, make an honest living
To love and respect my mother and father
To take care of them in their old age
To look out for my brothers and sisters
To get married, and try to live happily ever after
To love and respect my wife, build a home together
To have children, love and provide for them
To watch them grow, run around, go to school
To guide them on their way in the world
To laugh and cry, go to weddings and funerals
To mix with family, relatives, and friends
To be part of the day to day soap opera
To work, pay tax, pay bills, to scrimp and save
To have a roof over my head on a rainy day
To one day be able to play with my grandchildren
The same as you.

Azad!!
What have we always wanted?
The one thing we always wanted?
Azadi!
From day one you made the wrong choice
From day one you refused to listen to our voice
Azadi!
Your army seven hundred thousand strong
Occupation, torture, rape, murder, so, so strong
Azadi!
Branded us terrorists, you sold it so well
The world bought it, we went through hell
Azadi!
We are more than willing and able
We will win at the negotiating table
Azadi!
We have paid the price with our blood
Our prayers have been answered by God
Azadi!
The countless dead, the rivers of blood
Now freedom is rushing forward like a flood
Azadi!
For the first time we control the narrative
We asked and asked, now you have to give
Azadi!
Truth, justice, freedom, the stars are aligned
The world on our side, the treaty will be signed
Azadi!
There was only one way this could end
You cannot deny us, Kashmir is OUR land
Azadi!
In order to get out of the quagmire
The enemy has to be free of Kashmir
Azadi!
Go back to your own country
I am free … I now set you free
Azadi!
Heaven on earth, Kashmir
Kashmir, Azad Kashmir
Azad!!

Evaluation
Do I actually write?
No, I pick up a pen to scribble with
Am I an author?
No, at most I am a jobbing wordsmith
Am I a poet?
No … just some words that happen to rhyme
Am I a writer?
No … just some stories to pass the time.
