"piro" poems
This is Nigeria
This is Nigeria; presidency turns sick leave.
This is Nigeria; one-sided democracy.
Double standard constitution, everything is dazy.
This is Nigeria; police bus be calling crowd.
Enter and become cowed.
This is Nigeria; best graduating student gets a thousand naira.
This is Nigeria; I hope we can differentiate between private and public institutions.
Lackadaisical attitudes everywhere, except religion institutions.
This is Nigeria; over a year strike in our foremost sector but it's a norm.
Corruption; a living form.
This is Nigeria; education is dull.
This is Nigeria; economy problem is solved by increased school fees.
Such government still gets a second term. Madness; it's our liss.
This is Nigeria; lot of resources but we still pray for light.
Food, security and rights.
This is Nigeria; lecturers give grades anyhow.
This is Nigeria; Animal is swallowing money.
In a government with the main aim of fighting corruption, it's funny.
This is Nigeria; politicians changing parties.
Playing with our lives like they're *******

Pyaar jo aapne hume karna sikhaya,
Dil ne har ehsaas ko geet banaya...
Kitne pyaar ke rang chhalkaate hain aap,
Phir bhi pyaar ki wajah poochhte hain aap...
Aap ** saath... to hai roshni,
Pyaar ka jaadoo... hai be-andaaz.
Mere humdam, mere mehboob,
Dua hai... har ek ehsaas mein,
Sirf aap hi... aap saath **
Mere Humsafar... Mere Humsafar.
Aankhon mein sapne sajaaye chale,
Har saans mein mehka hai aapka naam.
Dil ki dhadkan yeh kehne lagi –
Aap ** saath, toh hai subah-o-shaam.
Aap ** saath... to hai roshni,
Pyaar ka jaadoo... hai be-andaaz.
Mere humdam, mere mehboob,
Dua hai... har ek ehsaas mein,
Sirf aap hi... aap saath **
Mere Humsafar... Mere Humsafar.
Aapke bina... yeh zindagi adhoori thi
Pyaar ki manzil mein kitni doori thi.
Dil mein aashiyaana aapne basa kar hume diya hai,
Har lamha pyaar ka... aapne dil mein piro diya hai.
Kabhi khud ko chaahne ke liye... gairon ka pyaar chahiye,
Kabhi dil ki nazdeekiyon ke liye... doori ka ehsaas chahiye.
Kabhi chand lamhe hi kaafi hote hain dilwaalon ke saath,
Ittifaaq se mile ** meherbaan – kabhi na chhodna mera haath.
Aap ** saath... to hai roshni,
Pyaar ka jaadoo... hai be-andaaz.
Mere humdam, mere mehboob,
Dua hai... har ek ehsaas mein,
Sirf aap hi... aap saath **
Mere Humsafar... Mere Humsafar.
Ab itna ab na sochiye, mere jaane-mehboob,
Dekhiye... pyaar kiya, aapne bhi bahut khoob.
Zindagi aapke saath – vaada hai mere humsafar,
Har sawalon ka jawaab diya, humne – aap rahe befikar.

English Translation...
You taught me the art of love so true,
My heart wove every feeling into a song for you.
How vividly you spill the colors of love’s hue,
Yet you ask me why I love you.
With you by my side… there’s a radiant light,
Love’s magic… boundless, infinite.
My companion, my beloved,
My prayer… in every feeling’s weave,
Only you, always you… by my side,
My soulmate… my soulmate.
In my eyes, dreams you’ve adorned and spun,
Your name scents every breath I’ve begun.
The heartbeat whispers, soft and clear –
With you near, dawn and dusk are ever dear.
With you by my side… there’s a radiant light,
Love’s magic… boundless, infinite.
My companion, my beloved,
My prayer… in every feeling’s weave,
Only you, always you… by my side,
My soulmate… my soulmate.
Without you… life was incomplete, a hollow space,
The path to love stretched far, a distant chase.
You built a home within my heart, gave it grace,
Every moment of love, you’ve strung in its place.
Sometimes, to love oneself, a stranger’s care we seek,
Sometimes, for closeness, distance makes the heart speak.
Sometimes, a fleeting moment with a kind soul is enough,
By chance we met, my gracious one – never let go of my hand, my love.
With you by my side… there’s a radiant light,
Love’s magic… boundless, infinite.
My companion, my beloved,
My prayer… in every feeling’s weave,
Only you, always you… by my side,
My soulmate… my soulmate.
Think no more, my cherished love, don’t stray,
Look… you’ve loved me too, in the most beautiful way.
Life with you – a promise, my eternal guide,
Every question answered, with you I abide, carefree by your side.

Samay ghadi pe bajke 2,
aur dil kehta hai ab suno..
khayal se mujhme aate hain...
tu likhta ja, chal ja piro...
Aur main kalam ka aashiq hoon,
jo pannon ko ab bharta hoon,
kuch adhoora sa thaa inme wo..
main poora sa ab karta hoon...
Syahi ki darkaar hai,
Shabdon ki to kami nahi,
Jo kalam mein syahi bhari hui,
woh pannon pe meherbaan hai....

With the pen, we linger.
Our heart, we pored out.
Our feelings, the clearer.
Finding words; when we are, it's like a bout.
Very spiritual, ask the real ones.
Pain-free, when it's coming easily.
Pain-ful, the writer's block forms.
Sigh! Finding motivation for our gree.
Blissful, it's our hope.
Unsubdued, a talent that brets.
In a globe full of glope.
We've found our own trait.
Having fun with intelligence, we often let out.
Ideas, muchly underrated.
Flashed stuffs, the world's missing out.
Desole poets, I know I've understated.
