**vengeance Retribute Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Lest the apology be not taken
Twisted in hands while crushed
In fingers that wear diamonds and gold

Lest the deity be the exalted presence
For the one with no mischief rendered
Laid on the door the sword of pride

Lest the love be tendered sweet
As the might of the self when on the rise
Held to the earth the eyes once on truth

Lest the lover be on his own to the soul
Lick the wounds of his forgiveness
For divine mercy on the day bestow

Lest not the one who departed
Look back with vengeance retribute
Do the dusts not melted in heavens reside

Lest not the mirth of ego again
The bigger the one the smaller is it
To your life in happiness repose
