**flogged And Whipped Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The bleeding bridal hands bled
The songs of love turned into screams
The echoes were heard nothing happened
The night had gone in slumber as usual
The moon though dim was shining
The stars hiding for this day was drawn
On the zodiac when the hands of Jesus
On the cross in blood nailed again
No one listened to cries when all ears
Eyes had turned deaf and blind
The sun did watch like the fate
That was brought from the birth
Or written and decreed in fetish
She was flogged and whipped
Dragged and humiliated for no crime
Reign of terror on this land of misfortune
How many cries and lashes O God
When shall justice be the dawn
The dark night of cruelty in designs
Draconian as fear through the spines
In hapless wander I bow to Thee
To whom the plea and where the prayer
