Nature Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Nature

Rating: 5.0


With me are born the seeds of my destruction
The lofty nature with all its bounties
That I have subdued thou
And now in pity look at me for the final moment
In harmony though I have lived all through the ages
Fear have thou instilled for showing me thy beauty
Thy beauty hath though made me worship thee
Or the bounties you offered
Never have I escaped the element of fear
Here and in the hereafter
And of the judgment that is in store for me
When I look at thou
And like the garden that is unkempt
I see it growing around me
And one day the branches and the roots shall overtake me
But for my existence and I still adore thee
Is it that I have angered thee by causing a melt of the ice tips
Nay thou bear the stamp of my destruction
And never to be reborn again except in my soul if that be
So art thou to thyself
In harmony though I live and with much reproach
For not taking care of thee
What hast thou given me in the final count
That I have lived in worship and total submission
My countdown is written on thy slate
So art the multitudes of flowers
Nature I adore thee
Only for harmony
Where is your answer to the great question
Or thou art helpless too

HE is only helpful all the while, sadiq...the question is answered only at the end - on the judgement day as you say in your well composed lines...10
