Lamentations Ii Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Lamentations Ii

Rating: 5.0


The night’s deep long woes
The darkness spreading
Like a thick blanket
Of dark clouds
The nature life giving
The instinctive behavior
What we call as luck
In an effort to tame
With human reason
The child like desires of the heart
After long hours of crying in despair
The lesson as we learn
Bow before the ultimate will
Of life’s gains and losses
Not for you to count
Leave the rest for follow your lonely path
Every one has to learn the way
The discovery either through flying high
Or in deep meditation
The word of the sage
Who claims he has heard it from heaven
Has brought no remedy for himself
Nor has he told us anything of the great will
The very purpose of existence
No one has yet discovered
In defiance I decry the eternity of being
Sweeter memories of my life here
In the final moment
I shall lament the plight of all the humans
In deep embrace of the beloved
I count the number of breaths
Or listen to the voice soft of the heart beat
When you whisper to me the soppiness
Of my love
Telling me that I have yet
Not learned the ways
I lament the pain of my longing
When the smile playing on those red lips
Wine is to my senses and music to my ear
No wise decision or cause of my life
Is worth lamenting
Than my love
When thou appear in full bloom
