Simplicity Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Hidden in the heart
The treasure of the poor
The longing of the rich
In the glitters of the diamonds
Love of the stone
Goes deep to the core
In expression exquisite
From the mansions to the earth
The young girl on the soil
Many patches on the clothes
The one who understands

Captive is the king
Of the throne and the crown
In prison is the queen
Qouth Queen Elizabeth I
Uneasy is the head
Wears that the crown
Said Shakespeare wise

In the realm of longing
In the city of love
No mansion for the rich
No glitters for the glamour
No one owns any thing
The belongings are but self
Freed from the greed
The soul is but rich
The body is in poverty
The human in the self

Loosen yourself
You have entered
The city of love
