Once More Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Once more my heart has taken wings
Once more has the lids been filled
Once more to the brim has the cup come
Once more the delights of sweet love
Once more on the pages of today
For tomorrow written word once more

Once more in the mirror of nature
Hence in my bosom some red of lips
Once more the wounds opened of the past
Once more I have heard story destitute
Once more I prayed to soul my helpless

Once more I heard lament longing
Once more I have been asked to twist fate
Write the tablet once more with no ink
Once more I cleared tears on a face
Owned once more all that was not mine

Once more I wished my hands of bounty
Once more I wished richness in poverty
