A few months back I co-penned this poem with my friend Afrah :)
Make a Difference

I sit here wondering in awe
At the clear blue sky when I saw
With its sparkle that instills a ray of hope
But with a reality that I have to cope

I see the vehicles below polluting this beautiful sky,
To reach their destination they try
For them to think about nature is a far cry

Is this the world we want to live in?
While we see the dear ozone go thin
With our gruff behavior and nonsensical approach,
Natural balance we encroach

I beg to differ and need to plead,
Please stop this pollution and take the lead.
Mother Earth is in a state of seethe
Save it, protect it, and let it breathe

Feeling peaceful and calm within,
I breakdown on others’ sin
With the thoughts of a serene, clean sky
I just start to pray and let out a huge sigh.

Why turn deaf to something as critical as this?
When we all can live in bliss
Why choose to escape
When we can beautify the landscape

Get rid of smoke and these obnoxious gases
Let’s start to educate the masses
Don't make this world so toxic
It belongs to all the classes

The morose, lonely sky cries for help far away
So does the fresh breeze that blows past your way
You and only you alone can stand up for it,
Indian, Pakistani, American or Brit
You alone can make a big difference
Encroachment on nature, please don’t permit

Saath

khoobsurat ho ya bholi soorat
deta nahi koi saath waqt zarurat
karna ho jo bhi kar apne haath
Allah ki madad hogi tere saath

The Day (Poem)

No more dilly dallying
Wakeup the day is calling
The day is here with all its might
tearing apart the darkness of night
the day is here with all its glow
forcing the dark night to bow
the day is calling towards the race
run alike by the novice and ace
the day is calling you towards life
get hold of your pen, sword and knife
the day is calling you towards glory
in your life, create a new history
Get up and catch hold of the day
for you never will get it again once its over the bay
Dont give up if u cant make it today
There's always tomorrow, another day, a new day

Anxious Moments-Poem

Ya Allah, protect me in the anxious moments

They are a sort of torments

First my fingers start to tremble

Then my whole body is atremble

My hands feel numb and cold

I feel like a dumb and old

The heart refuses to slow down

The food refuses to go down

I shiver and a cold chill runs down my spine

And am down to earth from cloud nine

Ya Allah, protect me in the anxious moments

An ode to Ash

If you can guess my friend

Then you too are my friend

If you are already my friend

Then our fr’ship is bound for an upward trend

I am gonna give you some clues

So, put your mind to use

She is a friend who is very dear to me

I wish she were always near to me

She was born on 23^rd of January

I pray she live a century

She has a touch of glamour

She has good sense of humor

She is tall like Yukta Mookhey

She is cute like Chandramukhi

A hint about her smile

It is no less than a mile

Though we are miles apart

She is always somewhere near my heart

To get you closer to the answer

She is a very good dancer

By now, I hope, you have got the name right

If it is AK, congrats, you are very much right

................................................................(Akhi)

O Miss I miss you the most

O Miss I miss you the most
with every slice of toast
this is true, not to boast
O miss I miss you the most

..................................... (Akhi)
