The city of dreams <br />In conspiracy with nature <br />Too long indulgence <br />When it lay bare <br />In sunny days and dark nights <br />In snow and morose evenings <br />In cold breeze hissing sounds <br />In pine trees and green flowers <br />In the air in warm feelings <br />Memories of the bygone years <br />On the steps of that entrance <br />In the coziness of surroundings <br />In the sweet company of friends <br />Hopes and frustrations <br />After long travels long sleeps <br /> <br />I have made friendship <br />With the air and the birds <br />With the moon and with the sun <br />The air shall bring me the aroma <br />The birds the stories of the loves <br />The moon and the sun shall shine <br />On my footsteps and the evening <br />Remember me with longing <br /> <br />No farewell I doubt the moves <br />Some whispering voices preparing <br />For the night to say me good bye <br />Just make it another gathering <br />No words of departure no hurry <br /> <br />On the long way the vibes <br />Telling me of my last visit <br />With yearning today I look <br />Every rock, tree, and peak <br />My sad eyes have left <br />Their signs here <br />Will again shall I pick them <br />Happy farewell to the beauty <br />So indifferent and eloquent <br /> <br />(On my transfer from Abbottabad) <br />19/2/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happy-farewell/
