Sadiqullah Khan Poems

I had taken the longest journey
Coming home when I was lost
By the signs of the dust of feet
The lion in the herd of sheep
...

You left the lines blank for me love
And again you ask why wrote my plaint
When you are in front of me I am lost
In the beauty of your hair your lips
...

What you are to me no one on earth
No one has loved they way I love
When I rose for the act to play
Your glowing face in the crowd
...

Harmony of millennia
Before the advent
Of the nation state
Display of hatred
...

And when I held together my bones
By the pull of a leather belt with buckle
A symbolic leaf of Adam still I felt
The nakedness in nature on my shoes
...

Nesciebam
Tamen sciebam

(Translation of “Discourses II 'But I knew'” in Latin)
...

I
To the earth gazed
To the air looked
To the fire warmed
...

Holy recitations
Of love
And longing
In an orgasmic wave
...

After Moscow was burned
And conquered
The residents had left the city
Napoleon asked
...

With kisses with tears with smiles with love
My love had once in the unknown discovered
From heap of ashes with mantras written
Worn on the neck and up on the arm
...
