Some of his poems on the internet:
The gentle breeze of nostalgia
A face of silenceAs a singer who has a cold The river sings with no rhythm and sense. In deep fog and its bank, The black stone is praying… It’s eight o’clock as tomorrow. I am in a naked feeling. India is going around Pakistan is on a newspaper. There is a mountain Said my smoking friend It was an effort. No disturbing him Along the water flew by a sparrow. Here we are. The storm Moist… Nothing we have thought. |

The letterYou are a woman Or a conqueror I do neigh Not a horse I am. With a splash the river flows And the feelings slowly whiten You are fastidious In your broken glasses The fields are thirsty to death I came back speechless A father of two sons The arch of a ready bow Stone homeland The jasmine bloomed at night. Picking the words arduously I remember sitting tight. I know What briefly written is a letter Yet the wordy one is pain |

The homeland of bloodBirds in homeland There is that piece of the sky. All except my thoughts Deeply lied in the black stone Flowers bloom quite in a while. I think about the blood. A train is coming to a tunnel. Burnt is the meaning of being naked… Once, stop telling your fairy tale. No terror within the doorless homes. Thus tears the white papers. Distant memories are the windows. Weary morning Possessed possibilities. A fly has landed no my head Eyes are bright, words are sticky… |

I got an illness named poetryA meaning I look for within the silence, To a chain, my sentiments have become. Breaks the vagrant moon and ancient night, And the wall surrounded me, kind and handsome. The sound of spring’s footsteps can be heard, In February’s embrace that is homeless and dim. I finished you as I do the papers tearing to pieces, As the stone, stiffened the cry that with no aim. I one day want to kill my own soul finally, A wicked scorpion, ah, my thoughts may be. I heavily, helplessly get on to the streets, Because I got an illness named poetry. |

A divine treeNo single bird has flown back here, You are taller than all trees although. No leaves of yours will turn yellow, Mornings come earlier to you, too. Your fruits are ripe all the time at all, Nobody comes and try to eat one From early mornings to late nights. No fruit falls down on the ground, Can’t be eaten up, time is timeless |
