My garment torn <br />Torn from every where <br />From the front and from the chest <br />Like Majnun my garment <br />The garment of Joseph <br />The blood stained garment <br />The garment old <br />The father’s eyes <br />And Laila’s blessing <br />My garment in threads <br />Give my garment back <br />Torn in pieces <br />The rage of my garment <br />The peace inside <br />My poverty in riches <br />The hand of the beloved on my garment in threads <br />My chest is bare <br />The sign of my madness <br />My garment in dirt but the soul it carries <br />Dust unto dust and my garment splendid <br />To mock the pretension of the people rich <br />My garment torn my garment in threads <br />The cover of my inside <br />My inside is my outside <br />My garment torn my garment in threads <br />No signs of impurities <br />The prayer and the prayer mat <br />The holly and the dear <br />My garment torn my garment in threads <br />Tom are my garments but from every where <br />The chains and the cage <br />The garment thou wear <br />My garment but freedom <br />Freedom from riches and freedom from profane <br />My chest is bare and my hands growing <br />My hands want to grow <br />Into lengths unknown <br />With perceptions divine and help miraculous <br />The hand of the Jesus and the garment poor <br />The garment of Moses <br />And thousand patches of the Master of the masters <br />Thy poverty I love thy contentment I wish <br />My garment is my chest but bare <br />From all sides and from the back too <br />The beloved beautiful <br />The temptation and the restraint <br />My only possession <br />My garment torn<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-garment-2/
