Once More Poem by Ahmad Husain

Whenever I recall him of a few days back
He seems to be as a friend of mine.
A nice, a closed and the best one I had
For whom the quarrels, the flare-ups
Everything was fine.

But I dearly wonder what was that cause
That resulted for me in such a huge loss
Never did I find an answer to this
That such a huge loss, what cause that was.

I earnestly ask the moon and the stars
What was that turn that broke us down?
I can't at all resist this day
Neither his smile, nor his frown.

The only true friend I had with me
Is nowhere in sight to make me calm
He seems to be in the dark night sky
But still ready to put me a chilling balm.

I feel him everywhere wherever I am
Either I am sad or am filled with glee
But still the pain that resides in me
Has no bounds but never lets me free.

Oh stubborn heart please let me off
Oh ice-cold veins please let me comfort
The loss of a dear tears me apart
Please rejoin me, I'll give you reward.

Whenever I recall those happy days
I assume it as a sun with its brightest rays
But now that the sun has set in the East
I can't imagine what's left there at least.

Waiting for the sun to rise once more
Waiting for the moon to bemoan on
Once more for the warm rays to outshine my heart
Once more a hope for a breaking dawn.
