Unless Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Thanks niv, about Unless Actually this is extended love, and away from the main ideas of expressions alien to a western sensibility. We come across this breaking on the beloved, in height of intensity and longing for impossibilities. The poet since wants to get to the reality therefore longs for the mystery shroud of love, and chains in the end are symbols of putting fetters of reason on an otherwise extremely unreasonable act which love is. To pick the salt from the tide is the sensuousness and in high tide is the equal response of the beloved. The reply is to your question that will you achieve that, and some pertinent answers have been given leading again to impossibilities and nothingness as the final destiny. You are fire and I smoke, is that when your yearning is like fire so I am ready to be smoke. Though this is not a condition put upon the beloved. This symbolism is both as fire is holy, and as smoke dissolves the self into immense space. Fire is also divine with ancient Aryan and Jain philosophies. This is again, a strong ripple as against the gentleness and sobriety preached in love.
