Lamentations V Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

In love we committed
The crime of devotion
Many a times and times again
On the deceptive glance
The temptation of love

In sleepless nights
Which I felt you remember
The first time met our eyes
On the mercy of times
“In my love my eyes did look
A downcast gaze but not my head”

Unending springs of love are you
What if the beloved had not looked upon thyself
In the vigils of love O dear heart
Thou art the beginner and shall never know
