Sadiqullah Khan Poems

Here I am where I never wanted to be,
On the edge of the mountain,
In the depths of the sea,
Baring all that I ever had,
...

He has forgotten
All
And forever
...

Is a deep breath required
To say something
Not so important
Not so urgent
...

I am red of the poppy
That is bled white
I am love of the seas
In whose bosom
...

Us ki tehni se latka howa
Akhree pata
Jis ki nokon pe thee
Khazan ki rung raliain
...

The dark of the night
In tiptoes she came
Shoes in arms
With yellow dress
...

In the city of love there the rumour
Recession irrespective of knowing
Reading minds or signs appearing
After the fullfilment of desires
...

Fill it
With your silence

Islamabad
...

In late afternoon and before the night
I played the lessons in music awhile
Forced my mind to fancy the beautiful
Create a rhythm of fingers and strings
...

O hate!
Thou art to me
Like the bird for a song dead
A gazelle hunted for beauty
...
