I asked a peacock
How its creator is.

It said,
Look at my wings............
Mohd Arshad Nov 2018
The mouth sans teeth
Indicates
That
To get wisdom
You have to lose something valuable
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
The action of sympathy
Is at the window of your mind

         And it be opened for ventilation
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
There is a little star within me,
It sparkles if the days are dark;
And roosting in the heart tree,
In the noon, it sings like a lark.

O God keep it glowing until the skin
Goes thin and the wrinkles weave
Their mesh and the soul goes up dreamin'
To meet thee on that Judgement Eve.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Who snapped my blanket
It was a loyal friend of mine
Why did he tear it into pieces
How would I reciprocate my love to it
Didn't he know it had given me a lot
Only sewing and patching is the option
Is it good to torture someone and then balm them
Since 2011 it had been along with me
How warmly it had held me like a mother to her baby
Like a wall it was there not to let cold enter every winter
Who broke it and has been so ruthless
Ah, I couldn't be a true friend for you
Forgiveness I seek, o friend I seek
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
More intoxicating than the wine
Brighter than the shine
              Deeper than the brook
     Is the book
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
A broken man,

         A deep well, No water.

A candle, flickering.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
As thirst is must
For a man to drink water
As light is important to eyes
As reflection is necessary
for the mirror to breathe
As the flower needs to be humble
To distinguish itself from the thorn


You are for me to live a cheerful life.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Difficult times
are contact numbers.
Either save them or not
depends upon you.

But you might
remember them when needed
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
The discovery of the truth
Is the discovery of the meaning of life
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Divorce isn't the shelter
                   from the scorching love
     Nor the cool water
Away from the heat of the house.

Psychology of the two.

Bare feet
from the mire
to prickly concrete.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
In the air, joys drift
You cannot catch them, only feel.........
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
After listening
To poetry by great iqbal,
He came dripping wet
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
If flowers had ego,
They would never have lived

                    In the company of thorns
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Nothing new is essential to survive;
Man doesn't die at his wish.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
After all go mute
Only the moon whispers in
Language of feel

Haiku......
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Kindness,
In the dark rooms,
                   Lits the candle of love
                   And all feel its flame
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Fog entangled in
Branches, and birds, shell-shocked,
Fly to hide somewhere.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Monster spread its wings;
The sun shot its sharp arrows;
Joys came out in the fields
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Always I try to be funny
Out of pain,
Because I know the tree,
Out of autumn,
Rejoices its moments as free
As an innocent.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
At
Your
First step

A great future awaits
                         to be bubbling up
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Before giving your words to anyone,

On the lips of flowers,
Put them.

When you pick them up,
They will be dowsing in nectar,

And no one has contempt for it,

And everyone wishes to get a gift.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Eating golgappa,
A ragged girl held her hand;
Two life, different luck
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
With one hollow leg,
He walks from his house to stall;
Each moment-tragedy
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Who has seen the hate?
Neither I nor you;
But when a vicious deed is done,
On the face it's very blue.

Who has seen the hate?
Neither you nor I;
But when an abusive word is spoken,
It's there in the eye
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
My skin is brown
And days as usual

Rainy
Hot
Cold

Still, like a blue bird,
I am ever happy

For my heart is young
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
We notice the wavering
                on the face of the sea;
There is something deep, unnoticed.

O Love,
come out of that depth,


Rippling over me.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
The way

That hummingbird
Flew to and fro
In the white out situation

Was outstanding

And reminded me of my early days
Which had flown in the river
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Sorrows
Don't befall one

Until he is on course of his goal.......
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
At the bonfire,
It's white out situation,
You, in ponch,
Rest your head
On my thie
And I stoop to imbibe
The intensity of your love

Painting is complete
On the green easel
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
What is the life of a moment, the flower?
What is the depth a mother's love, the ocean?
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Knowledge,
In its all flavours,
Must be spooned out and eaten,
While in winter
it's dry fruits to be taken,
And drench yourself with it in spring
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
It's only you
Who would take you further,
Helping you jump over the stones
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
The best and effective magic
      of the world is


       "Love"
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
The ship moves on to harbour,
At the mercy of the waves;

It's a persuit of goals,
At the current of passion.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Sadness is the leaf;
It has to grow
Before happiness ripens.

Patiently watch the growth of leaves
Until the fruit are young enough to live their moments.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Only one thing

Is real;

That's being conscious

Of the purpose of life.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
At each door,
Someone is waiting for someone,
To hug a moment of love,
Prisoned in their ego........
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Thousands are dying
                       For no reason

     Better to die for love to give others chance to live in sweet memories and then die
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Many people
would come to your door

With various products

Tell them Bravely and frankly

You prefer only love
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
The rain drenches
thorns along with flowers

Love is the chapter of nature

It's the best teacher
And we its pupils
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
I have travelled many lands known, unknown;
One thing always smiling was love for me
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
I always missed something,
But there was no answer.

Today, after meeting you,
I realised

It was your absence.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Hugging a girl in snow
Is a dripping-delight moment for you
I agree as you do
But when you hug your mother
After feeling sorry
For hurting her
Is an unmeasured-joys moment
For her
And you can't deprive her
Of such moments
I am sure as you are sure
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
No matter
How much
We grow old
Or go along
With someone

We have to move forward
Where our end awaits us
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Like the song of a saffron songster
Like the daffodil in its aroma
Like the moon in its face
Is my love for thee!

Like the wavering flow in the stream
Like the lily dream in slumber
Like the meteor in lazuline
Is my love for thee!
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Old age
            Is the freedom
                              To talk to nature
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Every minute is a high time
       To dare to run to chase the

"Unbelievable"
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Any plan we make
                 Doesn't pan out
Until we execute it at the right time.
Mohd Arshad Jan 2019
Poetry
Is electricity
To charge sleeping mode minds
