Love In The Past Poem by Abdul Sattar

Don't ask about the love
As I loved you before
I thought you are with me
Then my life is glorious
And if your gloomy thoughts are with me
Then there is no need for the sadness of the world
Your beauty brings the world to its place
Your beauty brings springs to the earth
But don't ask about the love
As I loved you before
Because the beauties are sold
In the markets and lanes
They are wrapped in dust and bathed in blood
The blood from wounds and hearts
My eyes turn towards them but what to do
Your beauty is inspiring still but what to do
What to do with the grieves around us
There are a lot of gloom more than love
A lot of wishes than wishing to meet you
So don't ask about the love
As I loved you before
