BEING IN NOTHINGNESS by Arbab Sikandar Gondal

9/26/2006

Do you know the moments?
When life turns into nothingness
It’s when a nation wages a war against another one
It’s when a child dies of hunger in Africa
And co called activists talk about animal rights!
It’s when humans kill each other
In the name of God!
Against the very spirit of their own religions!
It’s when injustice and discrimination prevail
Based on skin color and beliefs!
It’s when masses are hoodwinked
By the propaganda machinery of their own elected Masters
It’s when your beloved ones set off
To an endless voyage and invincible destination
And you can not help it!

I THINK OF YOU! by Arbab Sikandar Gondal

5/27/2006

Whenever I think of love

I think of beauty

I think of passions

I think of Fashions

I think of you!

In the dark gloomy night

In the bright happy day

In the burning summer noon

In the milky light of moon

I think of you!

I am not Romeo though

You are not Juliet as well

Still our love is everything to us

Sacred, oriental, a strange fuss

A seething balm for my wounds

Which my material pursuits have bestowed on me

To purify my heart and soul from this materialism

I think of you!

DEMOCRACY! by Arbab Sikandar Gondal

3/25/2005

We want democracy
We want self rule
We want freedom

Do you have any thing for us?
A few pieces of mercy!
A handful of pity!

Don’t force us to be
What we can’t be!

Let us live our own life
Let us make our own decisions
Let us decide our own fate

Because,
That’s what democracy is!

RAINBOW AND CROW! by Arbab Sikandar Gondal

3/15/2007

Rainbow! O Rainbow!
Could you lend one of your colours?
To the crow
If it is green
He would look like a parrot
And won’t be that mean!
If it is blue
He would be above the sky
And would jump like a kangaroo
If it is yellow
He would be as happy as a peacock
And won’t feel him low!
If it is red
He would live merrily forever
And would always keep high his head!
Rainbow! O Rainbow!
If you could lend one of your colours……..!

LOVE IS POISON by Arbab Sikandar Gondal

10/13/2007

My heart is crying for her
My soul is dying for her
I am in love with her
I wish I would have been there
When she broke her heart for someone else!
My heart went broke for her
I found the taste of love is like the taste of death
Pain, mourn, and the fear of hereafter
Time will heal it, I have doubt
I can’t see her dying like this
Sun will rise again
Hope, she’ll love again
Only Poison can be an antidote for poison!

LOST LOVE by Arbab Sikandar Gondal

1/31/2008

My mind is spinning like a wheel
For me, Life has lost all its zeal
My wounds will take ages to heal
I’m finding it very hard to deal

The world was so full of happiness
Suddenly, it has just turned into nothingness!
My heart is still trapped in love’s holiness
And my thoughts are occupied with randomness!

Until today, I didn’t know how it feels
When one’s heart is put to a peel
And nothing works, not even bow and kneel
O my lost love, my broken heart is going to be your meal!
