Sadiqullah Khan Poems

The night was too dark
Some howling owls in the bushes
I raised my hands with eyes open
To wrap the black into my lap
...

The whole day I was waiting
For no one

Islamabad
...

He did not touch the ground, and he lived strange
He earned a Square to his name,
May be more.
A girl with dark hair,
...

What hast thou done when the princess Indian
The heart of gold burned in deserts and in wild
Love was the sign she followed but the bird
In two and one to her she learned language
...

Our long love
Our common sighs
Our common songs
Our common souls
...

The first impression counts
I have been to cities of freedom,
Some ancient, others old.
...

Attitudes were what we had seen,
Looking for the gold in teeth,
Why were those girls so emaciated?
And while landing, we had sweats to our bottoms.
...

Make my woes your songs
Make my drunkenness ecstate your laugh
Make my midnight's dream a nightmare
Let for the dead of the lion call the vultures
...

She showered like waters from heaven
Emptied my mind for expression
Music is broken in the formulae
Galen or another sage
...
