Poetries by Shahzad Ahmed
Talaash Uss Ki Hai Talaash Uss Ki Hai Jis Ko Kabhi Dekha Bhi Nahin
Khayal Uss Ka Hai Dil Mein Jisay Socha Bhi Nahin
Khuda Say Apnay Liyay Iltija Mein Kya Karta
Talab Hai Uss Ki Keh Jis Ko Kabhi Maanga Bhi Nahin
Sakoot-E-Dil Mein Ye Ehsaas-E-Zindagi Kya Hai
Qareeb Paata Hun Uss Ko Jisay Chaha Bhi Nahin Shahzad Ahmed

It's a Wonderful, Hard Life Life is great. Life is hard. It is full of joy and full of pain.
We are showered with gifts and stricken with grief.
To live a full life, avoiding pain and grief
is as self-defeating as avoiding joy.
Just as the appreciation of a warm spring day
is amplified by months of uncomfortable cold,
joy in life is amplified by the moments of pain.
Through inspiration and spiritual growth,
we usually find that we are able to laugh more,
smile more and be energized by gratitude.
We also may find that we cry more,
grieve more deeply and are more
in-tune with the grief of those near us.
When we choose to truly experience life,
we are accepting a package that puts us
in touch with our hearts, with
what we may think of as humanity.
This package contains heartfelt pain and
sadness that can be overwhelming at times.
It also carries tools to live each moments to the fullest,
to generate memories of joy we can carry forever,
to face fear and reject worry and to experience
a connection with God and other people
that assures we never have to feel alone.
We also have the choice to reject this package
as I had done for much of my life in the past.
Years ago, I accepted the apathy package
which contains few tears and denies pain.
Its tools include workaholism, predictability,
obsession and compulsion, limited intimacy
and profound loneliness.
It is a tough choice to make, and getting in touch
with your humanity can be very frightening.
For me, the time came when the thought of
someday looking back on a cold, lonely,
directionless life was much more frightening Shahzad Ahmed

Women They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh
when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when
There is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children
can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and
cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a
birth or a new marriage.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a
family member, yet they are strong when
They think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal
a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes,
in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes
the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family
and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
Pass it along to your woman friends to remind
them how amazing they are! Shahzad Ahmed

Akser Aisa Dekha Hai Akser Aisa Dekha Hai
Aik Reh Guzer Si Hai
Baarha Guzerne Per
Loog Ajnabi Jo Hoon
Ashna Se Lagtey Hain
Baat Kuch Alag Si Hai
Baat Mukhtalif Si Hai
Baarha Guzerne Per
Ajnabi Se Chehre Bhi
Ashna Se Lagtey Hain
Aur Jo Khiyalon Ki
Khas Rehguzaron Se
Aik Bar Guzrain Tu
Ruk Ke Beth Jatey Hain
Phir Kahin Nahi Jatey
Zindagi Si Lagtey Hain Shahzad Ahmed
Aik Reh Guzer Si Hai
Baarha Guzerne Per
Loog Ajnabi Jo Hoon
Ashna Se Lagtey Hain
