Dr. Muhammad Ishaq Abbasi: A Voice of Nature and Peace

His poems have been published in anthologies, literary journals, newspapers, and magazines around the world.

The Parting 

Whiteness was separated from blackness.

 The intensity of the cold had reached its peak.

 The day was in its early stages.

 There were many crows flying over my head.

 Some of them were on the ground and some were in the air.

 They  were writhing in agony.

 I felt like they were grieving someone.

 I took two steps forward

Poems Of Xasanova Aziza Kumushbek qizi

 

Home

When I arrived with tearful eyes,

No place but home could ever suffice.

Its warmth and joy — a special blend,

With tea and talks that never end.

The time with parents, calm and bright,

Would fill our home with extra light.

No dearer corner can I find,

That home holds all I left behind.

From childhood to my very start,

It keeps the memories in my heart.

To My Teacher

Within my heart still live the words you said,

The poems spoken since my youth was led.

With eyes so kind, with care in every glance,

You taught me life — its wisdom and its chance.

The flame you lit still brightly burns in me,

Each step, each word, a gift I learned from thee.

Today I stand a teacher in my role,

You taught me life — you shaped my heart and soul.

From heart to heart you spoke, my dearest guide,

With sincere love you taught, you lived, you tried.

To thank you now is more than just a phrase,

Harmit Vidharthi's Poetry: That Stir The Readers's Mind

Feet

Since morning

Four times have I been to the terrace

Twice to the porch

About a hundred steps have I walked in the lobby 

Once or twice, I have peeped 

Out of the gate too

I am tired

A tub filled with lukewarm salt water

And I sit dipping my feet in it

Suddenly, 

in the mind, grow

many feet

I watch closely:

They are swollen,

Heels cracked,

Blood oozes from the ankles,

The nails

As a result of stumbling,

Bringing meaning to life without fuss.

joys of life

In our quest for wealth, power and happiness
We forget to enjoy the little joys of life
So caught up in the day to day routine
Don't realize how days are passing by.

When the mind is full of chaos and in a  turmoil
For a moment divert your attention and look around
Sometimes simple things also provide immense joy
Instead of waiting for the end result, enjoy the
