Parting Song Poem by Matloob Bokhari

PARTING SONG
Someone knocked at the door
In the deep and dark night
I saw a lady; light of all lights
Brighter than shining stars
Her eyes more beautiful than the mist of dawn
Staring into space, she whispered
' Where is my friend Matloob? where is he?
We were two bodies with one soul
In this house, we met to part away.'
Kissing the echo of her voice, I replied
'He lost himself to find his love
In pain of love, he became wearied, ill and withered
All alone; isolated from the world
He left this house
Forgot all the saddest paths of life
Sadness taught him happiness
Jasmine flowers opened the door for him
Where sunbeams were playing with raindrops
Raindrops were kissing sunbeams
Flower twigs were swirling and dancing
Air, hills, flowers- all welcomed him
Now he plays with butterflies,
Sings with musical murmurs
Smiles with sunrise sky
Still he thinks about you
Still he dreams about you.'
