@ For My Grieving Heart Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

You provide enough for my grieving heart,
For my earth is now filled with bones.
For my eyes are now sockets in skull
For my ears are with mud plugged.
You provide enough for my drought stricken fields,
Watered with blood, with human sighs aired
With tears soaked are coffins with rain bathed.
For my grieving heart you have left,
Enough of elegies, enough of your drums,
Enough of your feet of stone, thunders of fall.
O! Ye have stolen my songs, my bridal wear
O! Ye whose hidden sacks are long and deep.
You leave me to the judgment day
You, yourself live in here and now
To your human heart, what kindness,
Neither yourself, such is your creed.
