Ahmed Ali: Poems

Ahmed Ali Mar 2018

I am what I was meant to be,
No more, No less I was made to be
This cage that holds the amber,
May be looking ugly and under,
But it is meant to be like it was created,
By the Master Himself and then saved,
So who am I to change the way,
When it is bound one day to decay
As the amber leaves on its way...
(Khan, BA)

In reply to one of my friends poem.
We were created perfect.The Imperfections that we find in us are only in our minds, not knowing that we are perfect as meant to be..

Wine..?

Ahmed Ali Sep 2017

Wine..?

Wine?

Sure, wine has been tasted by sages and sinners too,
And wine is from grapes, so sweet a fruit,
But the wine of sages is wine of love,
And wine of sinner is direct from Lucifer!
I do not know right and I do not know wrong,
But two sweet words of lover’s song,
That etched an invisible flaming key hole,
That turns the fly wheel of my soul.

Wish of A Young Bird..

Ahmed Ali Sep 2017

Wish of A Young Bird..

Wish of a Young Bird..

I dare not touch the sky, O' mother,
But please teach me just to fly...
There are lands beyond the hills to cover,
And many oceans to glide over.
To feel the wind ripple through my flaxen hair,
And white clouds glide by my rudder...
So Please teach me just to fly,
Even though I dare not touch the Sky.

Without You..

Ahmed Ali Oct 2017

Without You..

What would I do with out you
What good I am if not with you
You by my side is dream come true
Your leash on me is the reward for me
From the hour my eyes held your gaze
I lost myself to become your vase
And the river ready for ocean's embrace
What good I am without your grace
How can I rest and lie down once more
If your golden curls, my eyes do not adore
Even with eyes closed I see your radiant face
As your fire sets my inside ablaze
How can I breathe without your embrace
Even when every breath adorns your name
Some say I become a slave of your love
Does it matter as long as my love is my love?
What would I do with out you
What good I am if not with you.

(By: Khan, BA on Oct 28, 2017)

It doesn't matter what one becomes as long as he is in love..
All that matters is the lover's love fr his beloved..Rest is all immaterial

Woman..

Ahmed Ali Sep 2017

Woman..

Woman...

The scriptures had a name and I became Eve,
The ancients often worshiped me,
The wise sealed lips in front of me,
The wisdom that mystics think of me
To Hindus I am Kali and Parvati too,
Yet I love and bear the lovers too,
I am a woman with beauty and brains,
And a worrier riding equine manes,
The mountain song and the Dolphin of the blue sea,
And Honey bee kissing the bosoms of Rose beauty,
I am the one with all these graces,
And I bring happiness to all new faces,
Does it matter what I am now and then
As my Gaya relaxes like perfect Zen.

Words..

Ahmed Ali Sep 2017

Words..

Words..

These two words you whispered to me,
lit my inside just like a pyre.
Without any smoke and dancing flame,
Tel me what is this change, what is its name?

With every breath I breathe your name,
The breath so sweet but full of your love aflame,
It burns me down to ashes with its azure flame,
Till there is only you and your lonely name.

The words come to lips of their own,
The moment I see rose on your face,
And the fragrance sends me to lands unknown,
Such is the charm of your grace.

Stuttering bishop that I had been,
Till 'Sheikh Ali' orbed my soul with eyes so keen,
I lost my tongue and silence prevailed,
Now you see Leo as if lamb revealed.

(By: Khan, BA)

It is the grace of my Teacher that these words flow from me..

Worship..

Ahmed Ali Sep 2017

Worship..

To My Friend...

"Me down in the lofty bed
As back is feeling like cold lead,
My faithful wife of so many years,
Comforts me best like yester years,
Though she herself is frail & slim,
But her courage is like that of a Hollywood film,
She is the best that I could get,
Otherwise who would take such a bet,
To love a fool of truthful days,
And a being so careless in worldly ways.
I am always thankful to HIM"
HE knows best to run this Realm "

This was in reply to my friend Boya (Tahir) who wanted know about my health and ailing back. He lives in Grand Island (NY)..
We spent our teens together while he used to be a wild one, I was named as "Hermit" by him.!
And my wife… is worth many such praises.

You..

Ahmed Ali Dec 2018

You..

‪It is all that is you,‬
‪Your glory and the beauty too,‬
‪Wherever I gaze, I find you,‬
‪Even this insignificant that is me,‬
‪Words can not express your beauty,‬
‪Nor thank you enough of your glory,‬
‪I bow my head at your feet O' Praiseworthy‬
‪A humble servant of your deity.‬
‪( Khan, BA)‬
