Sadiqullah Khan Poems

The stir is the circle of fate
Chewed to remain forever awake
Meditation in mocha before its discovery
From soils in Africa the bean in Arabica
...

You will break me
Again and again
For me it’s many
But if you involve me
...

I had the beauty of the moon beside me
The lark stayed a while for me to touch
Her dark blue feathers had dust of stars
I did not know her she did
...

hum in ghambeer rasthon se guzr chukey hain;
kuch tu bas bahaar ki bat chaley,
ik kaid ki si umar,
jab pata chala tu dahayun ke beech;
...

The trap thou hast set
With intelligence
With perfection
With impunity
...

Be the water to the thirsty
Blood to the bleeding
Be the arrow broken
Be the nib of the pen
...

From the wombs of civilizations
Occupied the land that carried the promise
The earth with the sustained character
Scarves of silk and music pleasing to ears
...

You find yourself in the depth of my heart
In the luminescent corners with beams
Of sunlight and thousand moons
Muted by the sighs that I breathe in separation
...

Keep gambling
As questions
Instinctive living
Memories go blunt
...

What if a heart so pure
Thou set for the confessions
Hast the love in thy heart rusted
The pride in thyself shall the moment
...
