Desert of Silence

Desert of Silence

Zulfiqrt Ali Abro, Xli

Nothing breaths, nothing smiles,

Only the wind breaks ice.

Striking with mounds,

There’s an alarming sound.

This tells the happenings,

 Concerned to past wounds.

Yet none rise, no one shine,

Like the heroes, who did sacrifice.

The Knight’s footprints

Echo in loud,

Calls the young blood,

To follow the proud.

Friends

Sarvech Ali, X

Friends are for eating,

Friends are for speaking,

Friends are for joking,

Friends are for sneaking.

Friends are for giving treatments,

Friends are for representing feast,

Friends are for giving presents,

 Friends are for every thing pleasant.

Do I Know You?

AltafAhmed, XI

I think I still remember,

The day I saw,

The face which seems familiar,

To the soul of my head,

At that moment in life I felt

The time had stopped,

And someone had knocked

At the door of my heart,

And asked,

Do you know me?

Do you know me?

I stood, as if I was lost,

In the middle of some where,

I started to wonder,

Was this a dream?

Or moment of time,

Which had lost its path.

As our eyes met,

I felt puzzled,

Whether to ask for acquaintance,

 Or let it pass for eternity?

Without there being a word said,

Or a moment being past,

Our eyes met again,

And answered the question:

‘Yes, I know you!

Do you know me![

Oh! My friend

Asad Channa, XII

Oh my friend! I believed you the best,

 Wherever I went east or west,

I found you for me as a nest.

Every time you helped me a lot,

Whenever I misbehaved, you forgot,

Memories are still everlasting spot,

You are the first and last,

Whom I liked the most.

Really I found in you a thirst for study,

For sports every time you were ready,

 In games when ever you got injury,

You called hardly hardly.

Oh my friend! Please don’t leave me alone,

Don’t abandon me to be deserted,

I will become rose without fragrance,

Body without soul, and image without shadow,

Oh my friend! don’t leave me alone,

Don’t leave me alone.

Everything I do....

Muhammad Shoaib, X

Everything I do, I do for you,

Every place I go, I go for you.

Ever song I sing, I sing for you.

Every morning I wake, I wake for you.

Every night, I sleep, I sleep for you.

Every dream, I dream for you.

Everything I think, I think for you.

Whatever I do, I do for you.

Oh! Dear, don’t leave me alone.!

Because, I need you as much as none.

Be Honest

Arsalan Lashari, XlI

Be honest to your job and enjoy your work,.

Be realistic and accept. the reality,

Be happy with what you have and don’t regret for

what you don’t have.

Face the challenges and discover your inner self,

Learn to resist failure,

Learn to love human beings,

Express your good feelings for others,

Remember your mistakes but don’t repeat and

 blame yourself.

Don’t be over sympathetic to your self if something goes

 wrong with you.

Care for others and don’t expect too much from life.
