Queen
Poet: Saima Qureshi By: Saima Qureshi, LahoreShe is always claded in stunning ornate gown
 Her head carries a preciously jeweled rich crown
 She is the queen, queen of her house
 A status given to her, by her spouse 
 The jewels she wears are marvelously stylish and suggestively expensive
 But the sadness on her primped face is deeply pensive
 She lives in a magnificently huge and majestic castle
 Hidden mysteries these immense well-fortified structures unravel
 Each and every piece of furnishing is decoratively proud and exhibiting royalty 
 But to all these exorbitant valuables, she is bound to be show loyalty 
 That huge palace with miles of green yard woos your heart to frolic
 Nonetheless her ownership to this aristocracy is just symbolic.
 Many a treasures are in her possession
 Yet to have them is transgression 
 To express herself and her choice
 Permission is granted but no voice
 Whenever she puts up a question 
 Reply to her is laced with sarcasm 
 The authority given to her is blown trumpet 
 Fact unseen is that she is just a marionette 
 Still she is queen, queen of her house 
 A status given to her, by her spouse!
کس بات کی آخر جلدی ہے کس بات کا پھر یہ رونا ہے
دنیا کے مصائب جھیلنے کو مالک نے بنایا ہے جیون
آرام بھلا پھر کاہے کا پھر کاہے یہ سونا ہے
بے مقصد جینا کہتے ہیں حیوان کے جیسا جینے کو
انساں کے لیے تو یہ جیون یارو پر خار بچھونا ہے
دشوار سہی رستہ لیکن چلنا ہے ہمیں منزل کی طرف
منزل کی طلب میں عاکفؔ جی کچھ پانا ہے کچھ کھونا ہے
