In the lullaby of nature when like Jacob blinded <br />For the lost love in deceit the patience when mundane <br />In long waiting for the beloved with blood when Joseph <br />His shirt devoured by wolf and one day when the shirt <br />To the Jacob brought as if the beloved had shown <br />The sight returned to the eyes of Jacob <br /> <br />Like visions thou revealeth in fairies and like the shirt <br />My sight I had lost for the treasure in my chest <br />Beyond nature and the world of the known in flash <br />The angel of love with the fervor of goddess <br />What name I give you as none like thyself <br />Like Marry the face soothing your memories are <br />And like touch of Jesus for the dead thou awake <br /> <br />In visions and in arms like the child for suckling <br />From the streams of heaven and the mist oblivious <br />My words they love for the raga they need <br />Reality I shall handle in my arms twist <br />In dreams let the beloved my love wake me not <br />They say I am blind but they see not <br />When last night she showed herself like the first <br />Moon of the month or like the star in travel to the north <br /> <br />Morning O morning tell the dawn to hold back <br />The story of my love in prologue yet the song <br />When in dancing flame I saw the gorgeous self <br />Beyond she said that I search her for love <br />31/1/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slow-the-love-visions-encore-ii/
