Christmas This Year Poem by Khalid Saifullah

Christmas This Year

Rating: 4.8


The smile was always pleasant,
But today I see something new in it,
It's a blended smile,
Like clouds that are blending,
Of water and air,
And a touch extracts,
Water from it,
And when it falls on the earth,
We say it's raining,
Your lips are smiling,
But your eyes say,
Touch me not,
Tears may come out.

You were my friend,
You are my friend,
But on this day of Christmas,
When I embraced you dear,
The warmness was more,
Our relations strengthened,
But how it happened,
Wait a minute,
Your wife is so simple today,
No makeup,
No ornaments,
No bangles in the wrist,
Simple dressings,
Oh! I recollect,
This year,
You are celebrating Xmas,
With complete simplicity,
As the nation is sad,
Many children have been killed,
By an attack of terror,
So you are celebrating,
Xmas so simply!

Our joys were common,
Now our pains are common,
With strengthened relationships,
We shall fight the terror.

With greetings of Xmas,
To all those,
Who believe in love,
Let us pray and let us hope,
Terror, the passing show,
Will end now soon,
And the next Xmas,
Will bring back to us,
The joys of the past!
And eyes will be touched,
No fears of tears.

A well articulated memorial on the innocent children that lost their lives during unprovoked attacks by terrorists. May their souls rest in peace. Thanks for sharing Khalid.

The joy of Christmas was eclipsed by the unfortunate incident in one of the schools of Peshwar! Let us hope that such incidents will not be repeated and that we will be able to enjoy fully the peace of Christmas next year! Great message!
