The Corner Of The First Street Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The pangs of love
Appear in my heart
No name I have
But the name of love
My woes of pain
I thought are ended
Rejoice not my heart
You have yet to know
The ways of the beloved

Thou sayeth thou art in love
But thou hast not
Yet reached
“The corner of the first street”
While others have seen
“Seven cities of love”
Beginneth not
Your journey of anguish
Hold on your heart
For the beloved has yet
To show
Many manifestations
