Forgive Me Forever Poem by shakil ahmed

Forgive me Forever


The wage of sin is so heavy
That I cannot bear the burden.
God is not at all contended
On seeing the doings of by-gone days.
When I look at a mirror
To see my shattered visage
I shudder and appall
On seeing my ugly face.
My face bears the stamps
Of curse of whole human race.
When I go to the mosque
To repent and shed penitential tears,
I remember my cruel deeds
And I shiver at unknown fears.
When I go to sleep
In the very dead of cold night,
My fond memory brings my by-gone days
Before my tired inward-eyes.
My life seems a heavy burden,
Too heavy to move ahead.
I am in a cauldron of darkness
Swirling round in an infinite way.
O, heavenly light, give a ray of your beam
To alight my dark soul.
Forgive me forever and ever
Or I will remain steeped in sin as a whole.

Shakil ahmed.
