Nafisa SB Poems

Darling, if you would just say that you love me
Then I would no longer have to ask on a bended knee
For your fair hand, which is fairer than the swan
No longer would I sigh, right from night to dawn.
...

Snow-white clouds decorate the sky
They are fluffy and fleecy, and pleasant to the eye
They are the silver linings on many a gray morn
When you lazily wake up, stifling a yawn.
...

The red eye of the sun took at last look over the earth
For it, could not, its gaze from it, avert
And then, with a final farewell it disappeared
As quickly as the flight of a tiny humming bird
...

Let's all see what the farmer does
When Spring is in its bloom
He ploughs the soil with all his might
And then, for the seed, makes room.
...

On my evening walk
The grass strewn with flowers
My attention does block
Till I look up at our towers
...

Bright came the dawn
Tripping across the lawn
Over the lake and hill
And over the window sill
...

Heavenly bells ring
Birds of paradise sing
Flowers bloom in the spring -
Light breezes which also bring
...

If the world does not seem bright to you
If instead of being an optimist you being one of the pessimists few
If you feel you have struggled in vain
And have not achieved any suitable gain
...

I will first put flowers on the grave of my mother
Who has influenced me, as has no other
Though she is now no more her aura is there
Which keeps sprinkling seeds of her love and care;
...

Use brains to know right from wrong
Use lips to sing a joyous song
Use ears to listen to someone's woes
Use nose to sniff the fragrance of a rose
...
