The night’s deep long woes <br />The darkness spreading <br />Like a thick blanket <br />Of dark clouds <br />The nature life giving <br />The instinctive behavior <br />What we call as luck <br />In an effort to tame <br />With human reason <br />The child like desires of the heart <br />After long hours of crying in despair <br />The lesson as we learn <br />Bow before the ultimate will <br />Of life’s gains and losses <br />Not for you to count <br />Leave the rest for follow your lonely path <br />Every one has to learn the way <br />The discovery either through flying high <br />Or in deep meditation <br />The word of the sage <br />Who claims he has heard it from heaven <br />Has brought no remedy for himself <br />Nor has he told us anything of the great will <br />The very purpose of existence <br />No one has yet discovered <br />In defiance I decry the eternity of being <br />Sweeter memories of my life here <br />In the final moment <br />I shall lament the plight of all the humans <br />In deep embrace of the beloved <br />I count the number of breaths <br />Or listen to the voice soft of the heart beat <br />When you whisper to me the soppiness <br />Of my love <br />Telling me that I have yet <br />Not learned the ways <br />I lament the pain of my longing <br />When the smile playing on those red lips <br />Wine is to my senses and music to my ear <br />No wise decision or cause of my life <br />Is worth lamenting <br />Than my love <br />When thou appear in full bloom<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lamentations-ii/
