Happy Versatility Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Do you want me to relate to the nature again
And all the things you have so far achieved
The civilization
For nature is not the answer to all this
The civilization
The exclusive creation of human
And human alone
The mark of human intelligence
And then again I must relate it
To the time
For I am not free
From time alone
So the event goes
In the dark big room
The show of happy versatility
This time
No reference to the heavenly
The warm room well lit
The room was called a hall
The youth graduating
Exuberant
And dressed in black
And the nice beautiful girls
In the first segment
A girl wearing green
The Indian silk
And the dresses
Young boys
Dancing and making jokes
A display of discipline
Some more girls
And other in designers dress
Self design
The naiveté and the innocence
The amateurish
And the elegant
My heart pounded with laughter
To see those young girls
And boys
Ready to embrace life
With a smile
And a sense of achievement
The dances and the songs
Some small musical instruments
Tonight
The angels from heaven
Did not come here
For jealousy
For purity
And the devils
Had left the place
And had informed other devils
That tonight
They don’t have a place there
The cathedral and the flow
Of soft music
Soft jokes
I revisited my youth again
With those
Who believe
That love can survive
That all is not yet lost
That angels
Can be found on earth
And that there can be some places
Where the devils cannot reach
Let’s build a civilization like the one
Let’s give up all the philosophies
And all the explanations
Nothing is of worth
And
In Khayyam’s words
The beloved and the wine
With a book of verse in hand
Is life but eternal
