Let Him Remain Undefined Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Let Him Remain Undefined

Rating: 5.0


I tried to define Him many times,
but then,
everyday every night
I saw in Him a different light
I went on changing my definitions
and when I saw my previous definitions
written on white papers
are now in the waste paper basket
and the basket is full,
I decided
I shall now never try to define Him.
Obstinacy leads to hatred
and definitions lead to obstinacy,
let Him remain behind the curtains
why should I interfere in His privacy?
The soothing blue light
the fragrance of flowers
the delicious tastes
the enchanting tunes
and above all
a soft touch of my beloved
is enough for my five senses.
I think,
yes I can feel and think
that I love Him
and that,
He loves me, too!
I am afraid
If I define Him
the lover will become a prisoner
of his own definition.
