What A Loss Poem by Sadiqullah Khan
What A Loss
What a loss it had been
All my life
Years and years
Spent in useless affairs
What is my destiny
And what I am supposed
To achieve
This humanity and this world
Where would I place myself
My years lost
Months and days
Nights and hours
The time is eating me up
I am waiting but to die alone
In the world of metaphysical
And in the world of religion
And philosophy
What is my creation
Where will I end up
Even your love
Has now lost meaning
Meaning of life and death
What for I am living
Here and now
What is my context
Context of living
The universal soul
The wines and love
The nature and fantasy
What is the purpose of my being
Except that I am surviving
The only reason for my life
Is that I am some one’s hope
Some one’s hope for the future
To be a part of the community
The suffering together
And the joys and happiness
Of the people around me
For every one knows
That
After a century
All the billions of living population
Shall be no more in this world

This poem follows or comes before the questioning of 'where is me'... These are huge and unending questions you raise. Who am I, what is the 'reason'/ 'aim' of life, what is it I have to do, do I have to do something, what for, where do I come from, where do I go....? In your words, always very well chosen, you touch everyone... as a 'metaphysical poet'? :)
