With Due Apology Poem by Akhtar Jawad

With Due Apology

Rating: 4.6


Oh God! I know,
I am your contrast!
You are a smile
I am tears,
you are handsome
I am ugly,
you are nothing but love,
I am nothing but hate,
you are pleasant I admire,
I am painful fire,
but the clay,
your love your proud,
your beauty,
your image,
was incomplete,
until my sacrifice,
my self for you!
Do you know why?
I hate the rest,
but I truly love you!

(Based on Allama Iqbal's lines: -
Ho kabhi khilwat moessar to yeh pooch Allah sey,
qissae Adam ko rangeen kar geya kiska lohu.
Translation
Ask God if you get a lonely moment,
whose blood gave color to Adam's story)

What a fantastic philosophical presentation through the existence of contrast between man, the creation, and God, the creator. Loved reading it. Thanks a lot. I quote: you are handsome / I am ugly, you are nothing but love / I am nothing but hate,
