My Love (Where Did You Go?) Poem by Lateef Jan Afridi

The caravan stopped for a few moments,

And then where did you go my love?

This story of hearts lasted only for a few moments,

And then where did you go my love?

Was that actually you, or was it a ray of light?

Was that actually you, or was it a smiling flowerbud?

Was that you, or was it the rain of dreams?

Was that you, or did a cloud of joy pass overhead?

Was that you, or did a flower bloom?

Was that you, or did I find a whole new world?

The caravan stopped for a few moments,

And then where did you go my love?

Was that you, or was it a scent on the breeze?

Was that you, or was there color bursting in all four directions?

Was that you, or was it some light on the road?

Was that you, or was it a song echoing in the atmosphere?

Was that you, or I found my destination?

Was that you, or was it simply a moment touched by magic?

The caravan stopped for a few moments,

And then where did you go my love?
