Brotherhood
Mohd Arshad Apr 2014
In its grave
Brotherhood sleeps
And around him
Runs the crowd
Nearby an old man
Sits and chants the beads
Waiting for his newbirth

Adolescence
Mohd Arshad Nov 2014
I remember
                    I remember
adolescence did tango before me
and like a lover
it filled me with passion
to touch her as she passed by

I remember
                    I remember
I was awash with fire
That kept burning within
How swiftly snow melted away
How soon I watched  
Landscape full of blossoms

"O Pen."  Addressed the paper.
"You keep writing on me like a painter.
You fully know i never grumble like a tree.
Why do you pin and make holes in me?"

"It is not me." Replied the jolted pen.
"Only is my holder that causes you much pain.
Be it child , young or old.
They also fold you and unfold.
My life, too, is similar.
I am used and is thrown away by the user.
O my eternal friend! No use of such a groaning.
We are destined to suffer without healing."

On Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Mohd Arshad Apr 2014
There is autumn in fiction
And another leaf has fallen.

In his own spring,
To a perpetual tree of fantasy
And magic realism, birth he had given, forgetting,
His voice will be dumb.

Hence, ages and ages,
The tree will emit fragrance,
And mankind will smell it.

It will be sweet melodies
For the souls in the modern world.

But there is autumn in fiction
And another leaf has fallen.

Exam: Children Rhymes
Mohd Arshad May 2016
O Exam! Have you ever seen my face
When you fall on my head like a case?

Look into my eyes, fear is wandering
And you, with no compassion, are mocking

Day and night you tie me to the chair
And put a knife on the table for horror

Don't you know to drink juice I fumble
And at each attempt for outing I stumble?

On the wall your silhouette does flicker
That keeps me awake to use my eraser

O Exam!  Why you come once and again
Compel me to exhaust my much heavy brain

Open your wings and skim over those hills
Where no school stands and flow only rills

Please go on long holidays out of the sea
Reside and visit only once a year like a buddy

Let me learn and fill up my mind with knowledge
When  I walk don't shake my study's bridge

Eunuch
Mohd Arshad Feb 2014
Yes. I am ******, not a beast.
Why do you scoff at me?
Was it my wish to be so?
Had you wished to be a man?
And you too to be a woman?

The sun never fades away to see me.
The stars never stop shimmering.
The moon never goes into hiding.
The breeze never stops blowing.
The clouds never draw back.

All these angels fully know.
The Almighty made me different.
And all are same under the sky.

Are you so sensible so wise?
Would you stop me from rising?
You are melting day by day.
Then?
Let me breathe easily
Or He is ready to drop His wrath.

How Gloomy
Mohd Arshad Feb 2014
On the tossing water i float
Like a straw shredded from the field,
Unknown of its own destination.
                                              How gloomy I am!
Like a lost dear strayed from its herd,
Tracing no track nor any shelter.
        How gloomy I am!
Like a young bird with pinions broken,
Fluttering in vain, achieving no dream.
                            How gloomy I am!
Like a bud with no petals,
Lying in the bed,
Following  the wind.
        How gloomy I am!
Like a yellow fallen leaf,
Rustling its pain in deaf ears.
                                 How gloomy----------------?

Wishing Goodmorning
Mohd Arshad Sep 2014
children!
I have heard them say
wishing goodmorning is a holy recitation
and its melody-filled rhythm flies
to the splendour-lit sky,
and the Almighty blows it back
that stokes our  hair and kiss our cheeks.

children!
I have heard them say
wishing goodmorning is hospitality
to the outdoor guest and he relishes
ssumptuous feast, drinking our cheerfulness,
and to his home his ***** carries us.

children!
I have heard them say
wishing goodmorning  is a feelings-sharing brief
that brings all in tandem to do away diffrences.

My mother said,
I'd planted it in the house
when I realised its importance in life.

you will taste its fruits
if you water it as your real one
and prune it whenever it is much needed.

plant more everywhere,
take it seriously, make it your rite,
and then clouds will hang over for much rain.

My neighbour
Is very courteous
We oft connverse
On local topics
Sometimes coffee or tea
Creates laughter
At his marvel home
And sweet words
Flow on his lips
Once in june's rough weather
Marriage of Miss. P
The daughter of Mr. A
Was at a banquet hall
For us no card
My son entered the hall
In no time he was kicked out
For there was a tattoo
Pasted naturally on his face
He returned humiliated
And innocence lost

Fly Away Melancholy
Mohd Arshad Mar 2014
Fly away melancholy
  Fly away to some far-flung lands
   Where you don't need any soul
With your fatters to bind and clasp

              Fly away melancholy
     The joys are standing at my door
         They want to get in for me
When there is not even your shadow

Distributing poetry
Mohd Arshad May 2016
After searching for long
I finally got the beggars:
WhatsApp and Facebook.
Every night I gave them
Poems of different taste.
I write many so I have
And they are nowhere.
I don't know whether
They eat them up or not.
Honestly I am giving alms.
Common people have lost interest in poetry

Hopping grasshoppers!
I welcome you to the newly-born summer.
Hopping grasshoppers!
I invite you to the feast at my house.

The farmers are lying on their willow cots,
And his illustrious cattles trod no more.
The birds are cosy on their straws-studded beds.

Over the swinging grass in the meadows
How beautifully you play, you fly, you leap.
The breeze is balmy and sweet with your rhymes.

Don't go away from my eyes!
My ideal! So brave, so young in the sunny showers!

In the stillness of night
When the cacophony is dead
And men keep to their comfort
And all creatures make a comeback
Thou creep to my wall
And hunt for your preys

Thou alone in our world
Walk dauntless of shadows and ghosts

In my bed I lie
Watching thy journey
And that pushes me out of my bed early
To earn my livelihood under the burning sun

Camel

Flow of thy footfalls, in the sweltry sands,
headlong haste, the current of a swift,
on thy gargatuan back thou tarry
magnitude of goods and massive stones.
how humps writh, with food in,
and steps, steady, without fodder,
head on for many months and
the throat, smooth and sleek, calls for
no water for upmteenth days.
thy slastic neck slides to the ground
and like the hood of the snake stands,
how holds man's heads, taken apart,
the soldier, the warrior, the king of the desert,
what a masterpiece of God's art!

through fog spread all the way,

when the night camps out soon.

rise, rise, rise,
O my hope, rise!
moments are beset with helplessness
and the clock circles failures and restlessness,
rise and stand on the hill,
there life is full of thrill,
rise never to die and never
and never fall like gushing cascade in the river.

Compassion
Mohd Arshad Mar 2014
The child plucked a dancing flower.
No pain he felt, I am fully sure.

The sparrow killed the youth with a stone
To relish for his summer sport and won.

The puppy an old man pushed out in cold.
With a staff, he considred himself to be bold.

Someone an abusive word on him threw.
He failed to cool his temper, only it grew.

over society selfishness reigns; rises self pity.
Compassion is gone; no one mourns, not you nor me.

That smells sweet, very sweet?

And it has not fallen from above?

And always smiles in my pocket,

For a little girl had given it to me
Who had fallen in love with me forever.

She Doesn't Want a rose

She doesn't want a rose
Full of perfumes
Pink or red
Give her a paper primrose
Filled with faithfulness
And this will bloom
Forever, forever
In her *****
Nor she desires
For a white saree
Laced with twinkling stars
Be the reason
Of a beautiful smile
In her face
Each moment she passes with you
And this will spring
From pool of joys
Brimming within her
And the world wil say
How beautiful fairy!

Crown will be on your head till death

Have you ever thought
Why the sun is always bright
And why its rays heal mankind

Little children
Going to school is not a drab duty
It's a purpose, a goal, a dream
And that is to reach the peak for humanity

Essence of punctuality knows the sun
And why it has to shine in the heaven
Thus in time its noble journey it sets in
And then for the whole world gleams

Gratitude is the cost
That we spend on buying the things
It is alms when poeckets are empty
It is bread when belly needs something
It is lamp when we have darkness
It is guidance when doubts loom on us
It is the right path when wrong turn we take
It is water when lips are parched
It is blazer when chill strike us
It is shade when we stand under the scorching sun
Children
Gratitude is part of prayer
And prayer recieves His mercy

To be nurtured and to be loved
And to be seeded around

It makes a man

And himself a moral story

Honesty is a virtue
virtue is morality
In his ***** it blooms
And samar ripens for generations

Submerged in sleep!

Empty belly is filled!

All lie half awake full light,

Hopefully for the new glimmer

A word for gratitude is a humble invitation
For a new friendship of thanksgiving
A friendship between a tree and a shepherd
Who stretches himself under its thickness
And between the moon and a passersby
Who finds his way easily in its gleam
A friendship between children and mothers
Who give them birth through hardship
And between you and a clerk
Who sings your papers without charges
A friendship between disciples and a teacher
Who suffers himself to lights their dark mind
A friendship that will live long so long
If soft petals spring from within

If you live green

If you live green
You will be green and as green as
Green is green and you know
That green is pious green!

If you live green
No predator will hack the tree
And its promising children
Who bear and carry our joys

If you live green
No Partridge will kick the bucket
At his bow for his daily sport
And its offsprings will play

If you live green
No colonization at lawns and crops
And the harvest will prosper full
Satisfying our sheer needs

If you live green
Life will be evergreen as it was
And  It will be as same as God
Wants us to sustain it for its lustre
