With the heart of gold in worship for love <br />In dreams one night a broken heart in pieces <br />Wrapped in silk she recollects the signs ominous <br />Like thunders she had a nightmare of dreams <br />In the temple of love a bunch of her hairs <br />In knots tied and hung to the wall <br />Wailing as she returned under the sky <br /> <br />Her stolen heart across the oceans <br />To the old mystic when her eyes caught <br />He knew he said the treasure you seek <br />Her hands to the heaven she caught the sight <br />Two birds following against the wind <br />A flock of swans in migration to plains <br /> <br />Congratulations she sent through the air <br />A Jogan she said she will turn from princess <br />Of silky drapes and cushions on throne <br />Freedom she sought and her heart she followed <br />A mate of straw and the broken pieces in the silk <br />Into dust she dissolved into fire of Sandalwood <br />Many nights and days out in the spell <br />Towards an unknown destination with feet bare <br /> <br />The envy she killed and jealousy repelled <br />Is that the love’s journey is so easy <br />Nay it is not yet a step thou hast moved <br />The lover is waiting in the stars and moons <br />She knows not for the distance of ages <br />She knows not she will ever see the prince <br />23/1/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slow-the-love-princess-indian/
