ENGLISH POETRY

BEHOLD

Behold

As you tread the forbidden

Ground of emotion

Yonder is the sea of love

With silting on its brink

The sweet gulls

Hither are the trees of pondering

With ruby bright apples hanging

But also,

These are the fruits of hatred

And thus are in nature, so poisonous!

Look at those flowers

Gloomy yet gay

Playful indeed

As the month of may

Addressing, “Oye, the visitor

Behold

As you are treading

The forbidden ground of emotion

Land of my dreams

Where bliss flitter in deserts

There stands the great panorama

Where love sprinkles in rivers

And fills the mud with aroma

Spread beneath the lofty mountains

Of light should and Hunza.

Neither one, nor two or three, but many.

Are the beads that ornament this stanza

Are the love of he blazing sun.

Sending worm messages of live and hope

To land of rivers, to land of crop.

To land of nutrition and land of traditions

Showing glimpse of the golden past.

Whose glory cannot fade. This is babul Islam

Where the noon and sea waves all day long

For the night to came and play up till more.

"Be like a needle that joint and unites”

Never put off till tomorrow
What you can do today
Never trouble enter for
What you can do yourself
Never spend your Money
Before you love it
Never buy what you don’t want
Because its cheap
Pride costs us move hunger
Thirst and cold
We seldom repent having.
Eaten too little
Nothing is troublesome
That we do wittingly
Now much pain the evils have
Cause us that love never happened
Take things always by
The smooth handle
It is nice to be important
But it is more important to be nice
Always try to forget the thing
Which made you sad
Always try to remember the thing
Which made you gold
Smile is the strongest weapon
In the battle of life
Self confidence is the first step
On the road of success
Never trouble, trouble, till trouble trouble you
If you trouble trouble, trouble will trouble you
Joy shared is joy trouble
Sorrow shared is sorrow halved
Laughter is a brush that sweeps away
The cobwebs of the heart
Don’t be like scissors
Which cut and divide
But join and a “needle”
That is never too late to do on extraordinary thing
In an extraordinary way.

Rahila Manzoor (Lecturer ,Maths Dept)

"Once in a life time"

Once in a life time as years gone by side by side me and you;

How that moments fly!

Waiting to say something……

But so shy.

Neither lips can tell nor can eyes see,

The happiness the joy of the past life,

Oh! But the moments fly.

Sole memories are left; no reality no truth. As the years gone by.

These memories are my treasures causing pain,

yet they are my happiness silent as death yet ate my life;

and now by their side,

I wish to die.

by Saba Zaidi (lecturer English Dept)

Dreams

Do you believe in dreams?

Dreams and their interpretations

Do you believe in miracles?

Miracles and superstitions

Many of you believe in them

Some are too smart to depend on them

Some might think they do no good

But does it hurt you to knock on wood

Did you ever dream of angles?

Dreams of flying, dreams of stranger’s

Dreams that can change our worlds

Dreams you want to explain but can’t find words.

Or is it just you subconscious mind.

Searching for thing you can’t seem to find.

Do you think that dreams come true?

Or is you mind just playing with you

What ever the mystery might be

Whether it’s an angle or a devil you see

When you wake up you will explore

The world is just as it was before

"Prayers are stairs"

When troubles make you disappointed.

And you lose you hope

Bundle up all your sorrows .

And speak to Allah in prayer,

Do not become sad.

Pray & pray heartily

Please cry not ,but have a smile,

And seek the hope from Allah,

You can only depend on him

When you kneel down to pray

And open your heart,

You will feel then

Your griefs & sorrows depart

You must climb everyday

If you want to reach Allah

Then there is no other way

But pray, pray ,pray & pray

Because prayers are stairs.

"WE OWE YOU SO MUCH!"

You were born in a valley so tranquil and calm

You were born with grace, grandeur and charm

In pursuit of excellence imparting knowledge and fame

You have gone an extra mile and achieved your aim

Fulfilling the deep commitment that you have made

Filling the life with colours that will never fade

Channeling the imagination and broadening the thought

How can we thank you for the wonders you have brought

Equipped us with wisdom and thinking ability

We owe you so much! THE WOMEN UNIVERSITY
