Madness Poem by Abdul Sattar

I was gazing at stars and moon
Never to exhaust and pale
The heart never talked to stop
The nights passed by as travelers
Pass through the rushing road
The stars will tell the truth
About my unhappy thoughts
About my midnight madness
Hours and hours passed
And I dreamed to touch thy beauty
To the brutal solitude I talked
To the wild dark I whispered
Where is my heart so sweet and charming?
My mind never rest without you
Till the restless sleep fell on me
Like a dark demon’s blanket
I felt thy touch while in dream
I dreamed you while awake
My soul and spirit want you
I yearned for thy fancy when I thought
Uneasy I felt whenever thy recollection
Touched my mind’s exhausted vein
