Make Me A New World Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Make me a new world,
Without
Death, disease and suffering
Without age, forever young.
A new dawn
From the tiresome night
A new moon, sun and stars.
Don’t ask
Me to die first, to perish instead.
To live in soul
In an unseen, unknown heaven;
In hell,
With my sins. It is no use
Expanding my inner self
And imagine
Happiness, hollow, immaterial
A sickening tirade
Of words
Playing with my fancy.
Let’s then join hands
Let’s then make a paradise
Here and now.
