Just Another Poem by Sadiqullah Khan
Just Another
The essence is drawn, colors dissolved,
The colorless one is casting dyes
The repeat silence is candor to the note,
Every second is a prologue to the next,
Like water drops from the loosened tap
Or rain on the roof tops beat. Nearer nearer
The steps take us. The farther the dreams
Sweeter the scene, some sit the thrones,
Others have lesser fortunes, taken the Hades.
The bewilderment is ‘loss of sense to the beauty'
Thus earn the grace of the might of being,
The majestic night may take you there -
Seeing beauty is one thing,
Being in the presence is just another.

Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is 'imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete'. It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?) , specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?) , the other two being suffering (苦 ku?) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū?) .
Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity) , simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. Wikipedia
