And You Say Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The mystic blue has a touch from heaven,
Is there any other, place from where I
Get colors of your eyes. Bringing the morning,
Sunrise of hope, and longing of the sunset.

The gods let me steal from the sun,
The fire of life. Can I let go?
Extinguished embers as my desires.
Holy, human, and in your chaos.

I pluck a flower of harmony, telling my heart.
I have found some secrete to the existence.
And before the fragrance, your autumn.
My hope, that spring is not far, once winter begun.

The brief moments, are sins, celebrations unholy.
From you I escape, and am trapped,
The judgment of the conscience bears heavy.
And you say, from here to there but a veil.

Death is not easy as against life.
And you say, by prayers should I live.
Is this justice that I part from life with violence?
Soothing chants to my ears, to ease my senses.

Put the white cover slanted over my head,
I carry the pride of love on my forehead.
Let the lovers know, we have not forgotten.
The self‘s indebtedness to the beauty’s glances.
