The Lost Dreams is a collection of poems where the poet Mohammed Salim has nicely blended his spiritual feelings and emotions for compassion, love, joy, grief, pain and anger in a modest way. The book also expresses gratitude to Nature. The effort of the poet is towards the integration of material with immaterial and worldly with holy. In poet’s opinion, this is a harsh reality that religion is the only force that can hold a man purified and true. Persons can have better understanding of life when they become religious. So the religion should be followed strictly in its true spirits. It is therefore desirable for the readers to understand the convergence of temporal and celestial life.
