Did All I Wanted Poem by Amir Khosro Alai

Did All I Wanted

Rating: 5.0


Did all I wanted and took what I could,
Healthy and happy, I touch the wood,
Life doesn't treat me, I treat life,
The one I can't handle is my wife,
I searched for wisdom, I seeked facts,
I lost my freedom, failed my acts,
Life is limited; my body a cage,
I can only fly out if am a sage,
The world is huge and me so small,
What do I know of life at all?
Soon I'll be leaving this body to earth,
I may vanish believing, or take a birth,
Whatever the case is, I don't know,
Where have I come from, where to go?
What makes a man know what is right?
Makes no difference once love is bright,
The power of love burns guilt to ashes,
Why should I fear, the fear of lashes?
Nothing binds me, love makes me free,
I'll fly to an abode for ever to be,
