An Ode To Beauty Poem by Matloob Bokhari

AN ODE TO BEAUTY
Confused by the study of books,
Majnun was sitting on the peak of Najad,
With eyes closed, head on knees.
Pondering in wonder about Lord of lords,
Who taught a baby to suck the breast
And a bright-feathered bird to fly.
Buried in thoughts, he saw a shadow,
Quivering in wave less, windless water.
Layla, brighter than full moon, stood
Calm in fragrant breeze and smiling sunshine,
Where refreshing rain was falling drop by drop.
Both danced on the streams of sunbeams.
Songs of love turned the valley into green.
Layla, radiating her beauty, said:
'Majnun, you are a true lover,
My beauty will reveal you Truth.
You will see white pearl in the shell.
My beauty will take you away
From the bonds of sects and creeds.
Majnun, Who created world out of Love
Desires all the children of the land to be united
In one brotherhood in the love of kind Lord

All writings (novels, poems) , paintings, music, I perceive if they have special melody flow- sometimes loud, sometimes low - I say good writing because it has the energy to sound. I say I should read this again as, in your poem, melody flows))))))

Daveda Gruber: Lovely words brought to life by you!
AVM Sajid Habib: Matloob, here you are as a powerful story-teller whose objective is to reassure humanity, 'Love is God'... On a lighter note, good to read 'Layla brighter than moonlight' and 'radiating her beauty'. This must be miracle of love that appeared to Majnun, as Layla was pretty much dark in complexion with little light to radiate'... Cheers for this flowing melody indeed.:
