RELATIONS!

By Abid A. Kazi

When you are born alone and free

Mother is one who takes you under wings and agrees

Soon after relations begins to come alive

Father, sister, brother and many more as you survive

There is constant build up and change of relations as you grow

Wisdom and knowledge helps to deal with each other with know how

Rise and fall is a natural process of human life

Experience and commitment help to strife

Elegance and dignity comes with balance as you strike

In any relations sometime you may end up taking a hike

Enjoy each and every relation natural or developed as long as you are alive

Each beginning has an end according to the law of nature we all have to dive

You came alone with empty hands with fist lock

You will be gone alone with open empty hands with no lock

With a life so short and limitless greed we all wonder

Where did we go wrong to be sucked by the thunder?

Revive your relations if forgotten or lost

Little effort and understanding will bring back all fast

A poem by Saadia Asad

                                                       MAN

What is this phenomenon: the ‘man’?

A complication or just a simple Sam?

He considers himself the cause of all

True for him, but for us a vain call.

In wars he goes, to fight it out and earn glory

Riding on prayers and wishes, that’s our story.

he goes out to earn bread and butter for family

How it is spent, that secret we hold on to tamely.

Children, the one he causes to bring in the world

Are brought up straight by us, from a position curled.

In ancient times Goddesses ruled the heavens and earth,

By conspiracy of man, that supremacy was brought out of worth.

Man has physical superiority; woman is superior also in beauty

Each utilizes his and her edge, to fulfill their obligations and duty.

The word ‘woman’ has ‘man’ in it, the composition complete

Man himself in living out this life without a woman, is obsolete.

Woman is proclaimed lovely by philosophers, poets and even saints,

All men, all thinkers: does such a picture a woman ever paints?

Man and woman together keep the balance of nature,

Overlapping, yet maintaining their own personal stature.

For some it might be a cause of perpetual contention

Yet it is as simple as a beautiful, joint formation
