A Sufi's Lament... Poem by Syed Ahmed Shah

A Sufi's Lament...



A Sufi's Lament...

Queen
Of the vilest realm
In the crevices
Of the mind...
Like the serpent
She coils, uncoils
To the devils muffled delight...
A thousand hues
A thousand holes to hide
Oh, how she masquerades
As the cliché called love...
Lady ego,
You have entrapped so many
Led so many to their doom...
All of them went smiling
For what?
For whom? ?
