Aman Ki Asha Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

At last long
Some voices have found
Their way to be heard

From the temple and the mosque
Euphonies
From me and you
To we

Reading eyes to get to know
Narrowing pupils will tell soon
Who belongs to whom

Open the closet
In some cold corners
I have some tears wiped
On silk

Some tongues have been loosened
The angels of love
Whom they said were witches

The wedge is loosing its force
As the tree is standing up
On own soil

We have the memories of the past
We will in the present wait
We know this tree grows beautiful flowers
