Hearth Without Chimneys Poem by Colonel Muhamad Khalid Khan

Hearth Without Chimneys
A glass of wine will do to decrease the pain of life
I can't bear it, it is beyond my limits to take to bear
My beloved has bruised me with beauty's knife
She has killed me with her rude attitude just to tear

I never thought a soft and sweet beauty will play
With me and my innocent passion like a clever fox
And I will die from moment to moment, day to day
Pain and torture to take me bare feet on hard rocks

Life is a strange puzzle with strangest tinge of love
Where one is amazed and dazed in difficult realities
Innocence of heart fails to understand why and how
Life is like burning hearth in hearts without chimneys
