Quite The Indus Flows Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Quite the Indus flows
At Attock
From the Himalayan peaks
The crystal snowy waters
Kashmir melts in here
Joined by the Kabul
The murky waters
From the pride
Of the Hindukush
And quite the Indus flows

Many a dynasties
Alexander the great
And before him
The Aryans and Vedas
The sagas of histories
And quite the Indus flows

Many armies
On the bank of Indus
And the caravans
Migrations
Many a mothers must have been worried
For the crossing
And quite the Indus flows

Many looked upon it for protection
The empire and the India
Many might have thought
“Lets cross the river and get into the cool of the trees”
Many a generals
And soldiers alike
And quite the Indus flows

They have seen the Indus
The poet on the bank
Lamented
And so came the aliens
Of forward theory
And the backward theory
But natural is Indus
And quite the Indus flows

In the darkness of the night
The bridges
The city
Many lights
And another bridge
The bank of Indus
My beloved and me
And quite the Indus flows

From the vastness of the bed
Of this mighty river
All is but the story of me and you
Neither of armies nor invaders
Nor the defenders
The creations beauty
To last forever
To tell us the stories
Of all that is said
And all that is unsaid
And quite the Indus flows

Rejoice my heart
For some one like you
May also hear
After centuries are past
For you have not made
A monument magnificent
On the bank of Indus
You have only whispered
To the mighty Indus
The story of your love
And quite the Indus flows
