Hushed Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Like the embroidery on the edge
The skirt of love that you wear
In flow is my destiny
Like “pairahan” The colors
Spirits of various mixing
In life that the movement
Of those curves with silken touch
Your steps light like a swan on the lake
As if moving like a butterfly
The dark eyes with that gaze
In hushes in light music
The music of the whispers
That the cold breeze brings
Like Arizona sunset
Or the Oriental spice
No temptations have I
Of wars and peace
But your phrases of affection
And love
