Shakespeare Overheard Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

I had overheard thou
Then I read thou
Thou had great understanding
Of human nature
Thou art
A human heritage
The stories thou created
Thou have stolen from
The imagination
Of the people common
So thou had played
God
Created people
Made them talk
Decided their fate
For thou knowest
Like god
What comes next
With language divine
Grandeur and beauty
The master of imagination
Healer of the hearts
Thou art Shakespeare
In my nights company
I fly to thy globe
In the company of fine
Youth and jubilant
The tragedies, the plays
The histories and poem too
Thou art the creator
A bond with my friends
We act thy plays
A joy forever
A job accomplished
Thou art there
“Smiling at us and saying nothing”
