Lover And Beloved Poem by Prof Niamat Ali Murtazai

A lover and a beloved started a journey
Through deserts and bushes thorny.

They breathed in each other's thought
And faced weathers severe cold and hot.

At last they reached a small harbour
That seemed in their favour.

By chance a small interval separated them
Or the wayward Fate came to overwhelm.

The lover came back after a pause
Who can change Power's laws.

The beloved was no where to be found
Love's sheep had been lifted by Time's hound.

Love's torture welcomed the simple youth
Love is loss, he came to know the truth.
