Thou who speak the righteous <br />Thou to whom the madness <br />Is affair of woes appearing silly <br />Thou whose pens like a sharp knife <br />To find intent of the black line <br /> <br />Thou who celebrate the victory of reason <br />Thou hast not of love heard <br />Squabbles the laughter of the crowd <br />Reigns of reason in the lover's hand <br /> <br />Dids't the steed of love looked back <br />Once to the stars it has its eye fixed <br />Who to cover the distance in the dark <br />Who to win and fall back on starry way <br /> <br />My cup of wine has the shine of silver <br />My wine the color of rubies and roses <br />Fill it not with sauces spicy and bitter <br />Fill it not with waters murky and sour <br /> <br />Islamabad <br />25/3/2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-ware/
