I Found You At Last Poem by Akhtar Jawad

I Found You At Last

Rating: 5.0


Sweetheart, sweetheart where are you?
I smile for you, I cry for you,
I live for you, I shall die for you,
Here are you or there are you,
who are you and where are you?
Sweetheart, sweetheart where are you?

I sleep for you, I dream for you,
Can't see my eyes' stream for you,
See my heart it's beating for you,
me myself it's cheating for you,
you are in hope or in fear are you?
Sweetheart, sweetheart where are you?

Helpless you have made an idol of clay
blindly I touched everything in my way,
clay, water, air, even fire and light,
I kissed everything that came in my sight,
I never knew so near are you,
Sweetheart, sweetheart where are you?

I became a cloud vagabond for you,
with a rope of love a bond for you,
with thunder when I fell on earth one day,
lightning took over the thundering clay,
saw here and there everywhere are you?
Now know sweetheart that where are you!

Love is my worship and you are in my heart,
It's a church or a mosque or a temple of art,
odorless I go and come back with aroma,
from the top I see now clay's panorama,
giving us a rainbow white color are you,
Sweetheart, sweetheart where are you!

Where ever you were now tied in my heart,
living as a prisoner now play your part,
How can I leave you I shall not let you go,
May peep out from my eyes saying only lo,
may go for some time at the places of love,
they too are lovers who bow faces of love,
who think only there only there you are,
they will never know as to where you are,
Aren't you happy so dear are you,
Sweetheart, sweetheart where are you!

Wah wah.....It reminded me a poem... Dhoondo Ge Agar Mulkon Mulkon Milne Ke Nahin Nayaab Hain Hum Tabeer Hai Jiski Hasrat-0-Gham Aye Humnafaso Woh Khwaab Hain Hum Aye Dard Bata Kuch Tu Hi Pata Ab Tak Yeh Mu’ammya Hal Na Hua Hum Mein Hain Dil-E-Betaab Nihan Yah Aap Dil-E-Betaab Hain Hum Main Hairat-O-Hasrat Ka Maara Khamosh Khada Hoon Sahil Par Dariya-E-Mohabbat Kehta Hai Aa Kuch Bhi Nahin Payaab Hain Hum

You still retain that youthful romance in you! It is something so appreciable! Thoughts of love flow from you like a cascading fall!

The poem brings smile on the face and delight in the heart in the morning hours of the day. Can there be a better way to start the day? This is such a lovely lyrical poem with genuine Sufi touch. Thanks, Akhtar Jawad Sahab. I sleep for you, I dream for you, Can't see my eyes' stream for you, Sweetheart, sweetheart where are you!
