Sadiqullah Khan Poems

On the slate of fortune from the seventh sky
When names were given I asked the God
Let I have no name for the name of my love
Broken have I the bond with the world
...

Who in my lines
And in words saw a distance
Crossing the mirage towards oasis
This was a journey as hard
...

When loving is reduced to contract
Meaning to avoid loneliness
For a happy living and striving
Illusory phantasms to seduce
...

Bend the arrow
Like read it straight
Grim the express
Mould it like in furnace
...

These veins are ink
On the plane across the window
To write itself
The perspective goes too deep
...

I uncovered all the nudity
From beneath your veils
I drank the red wine
Through your eyes
...

I can still read them
written on the air,
some unfinished poems:
hanging on the walls
...

Something ended happily.
Some beginning was strange
this was all serendipity.
It was all hope
...
