N I N E
Neither literate nor poet to compose on all nine

Iqbal decided to write even if had to drink brine

Not easy is the job when so much repeating nine

Excited must be your feelings too just like mine

                                N I N E

New things must be done today to be just on line

Indeed date month year turn same is a good sign

Not it happens again in this century let me define

Expired will be all when it repeats even if twine

                                T W O

Thundering clouds transmitting a message not to

Waste time but work efficiently and be quick too

Otherwise we deserve to be beaten black & blue

                           D O U B L E

Double efforts needed reclaim lands from rubble

Offer it will so many benefits without any trouble 

Understandably many reclaimed more than double

Bewilder I how reclamation has removed stubble

Longitude or latitude they geared without trouble

Excel they in many fields but others are in bubble

                                  Z E R O

Zealous tinged with zeal always turned out as hero

Extinct they had been if idled name penned in biro

Realize they their national duty and emerged hero

Of course records they made to triumph from zero

                                  N I N E

Now we must audit to know if we wither or shine

Inverted we are if termed lousy following decline

Nature is kind to all of us alike be I he she or thine

Earn will I more laurels later not just today on nine
