I Search You Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

You find yourself in the depth of my heart
In the luminescent corners with beams
Of sunlight and thousand moons
Muted by the sighs that I breathe in separation
On my chest is drawn with sharp knife of love
The curvaceous sketch of your image
That I dream in the coldest nights
Like spirit you descend with aroma of earth
The wine that has been in tumult in goblet
Like mercury like the storm of Noah
For the lips that speak your name
The smoothness as from your peaks
Like the highest tide and as like the vessel
For the voyage that shall save me
Closer in my eyes when they look deep
Of hairs gold and lashes like lances
She lives there exclaim they with eyes open
In reverence on their knees for the magic
Like the travel of the great to seven skies
Each night is my travel towards infinity
When the visions of thou I speak accompanied
In dreams I speak and now I know
Secrets in divinity and to the self I proclaim
“Thou art the reality” like the great sage
With blood shall I pay the homage to your beauty
All the ways that I exhausted in discovery
Untie the camel of the self for in ambling free
Guided by the stars and the signs you leave
Like pieces of the frock that the beloved tears
For the lover when the caravan departs
I search you in the moons as on rooftops it appears
And the many suns that hide behind the walls
