I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU ALL
Matloob Bokhari

After crossing a wilderness of ignorance,
I met a pure and an unimaginable beauty.
“Oh lover, where are you going?
Who are you looking for? I am here.”
Said she happily with her lovely smile.
Birds of valley sang a harmonious songs
And the sky was lit by her resplendent face.
Moon and stars joined this festival of love.
Every moment was frozen with her beauty.
I forgot all my learning, lost all my strength.
My pens and books rendered me speechless.
Words unable to capture splendour of  scene.
Blessed by love; illumined by beauty, I spoke:
“You are an idol and I am your worshiper,
Ready to leave the earthly life for you.
I live for you, I love you. I love you all!”

LET US FEED THE POOR
MATLOOB BOKHARI

My love
I am in unbearable pain
Mix  not  water
Pour the pure wine to the brim
Play sweet melodic music
Sing the song of love
And lay your white  arm  as a soft pillow
So that I may   sleep serenely
In the deep darkness of dead night
And may not see the suffering of   unjust world
Where murderous poverty has opened its jaw
Where sick and pale babes are without  food
Where  widows are moaning from sunrise to sunset
Where graceful  maidens are ***** and betrayed  
Where  orphans are weeping in the roaring wind
Where  poor children are wandering without shoes
Where  artistically cruel men are suppressing the men
My love
You  are the only   lamp in  darkness
Let us say farewell  to arms!
Let us feed the poor!
Let us feel the bliss

THE ETERNAL LOVE
Matloob Bokhari

In a summer night, radiated with moon,
Thinking about seven skies and earth,
I was talking with scintillating stars.
Silence had invaded the silence of night.
Flowers and shrubs were praising Lord.
Suddenly, I heard a call of a fairy queen,
Bewildered me she with her beauty.
Then, offered a cup of wine, full of love.
Her blazing beauty enlightened my soul
And taught me a lesson of eternal Truth.
Lesson that was taught to Moses at Sinai.
I had a glimpse of Truth, beyond logic;
Saw white pearl preserved in a shell.
Where is my dress? where are my shoes?
Where is my life? where is my death?
Where is my body? where is my soul?
Am I in red flames or in purple rain?
No fear of hell, no greed of heaven.
A flower bloomed in the desert of my heart.
I am in love with Love more than love.
In the nightmare of darkness, barking dogs
Nor  see beauty of stars, nor state of a lover.

I LOVE YOU
MATLOOB BOKHARI
I sing in the rain and snow
Only because I love you!
Only because you looked at me with love
Only because  you held me in your arms
Only because you knelt on me and kissed me
Only because you live inside my heart
Only because your velvety skin intoxicated me
My lips and skin remember you
Come back, take hold of me in summer night
I cannot get you out of my mind, I miss you!
I love you!

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
MATLOOB BOKHARI

When the first time I met you
You were like a nymph from heaven
I looked  into your eyes
And forgot everything else

Then I remembered
I loved you  many times before,
Before coming here, I had promised
You are all I ever wanted

MY LOVE
MATLOOB BOKHARI




My love
You are the rising morning star
You are a red fish swimming in the pond
You are the fairest in the land
Your shinning skin, your lovely eyes
Your sweet lips, your fingers like lotus buds
Your narrow waist, your graceful steps
My love, richly clad in white linen
Your beauty is beyond comparison
My love, come to me again
Your love has penetrated all within me
I want to rejoice to see your beauty
I want to be your forever and ever
My love
Joy of world has he who embraces you,
Touches your breast, kisses your thighs

DREAM
                                                                             MATLOOB BOKHARI


                              In a dream, I am where meadows are in bloom,
                               Where days are full of spring flowers
                           Nights are packed with  incense burning tables
                         Where gentle breeze exhales his sweet breath,
                      Where silky girls with long necks are dancing in arms
                     Where women ,brilliantly white with shinning skin,
                     Are weaving necklaces of narcissus flowers
                         Boys are wearing garlands of white violets
                Tender girls, wearing royal and rich perfume
                   Are  speaking honey-coloured  words with sweet lips
                      All are happy,  laughing and drinking
                   Singing , dancing ,embracing and kissing
       Where enemies are  killed not by bombs but kisses
             Here, everyone speaks sweetly, laughs attractively
          With shinning  faces and joyous hearts


Karyn Walker Brother Matloob,

Love conquers all is what you honestly express,
in lines that deserve the best and nothing less.
Wishing you happiness sweetness and a pen
that continues to compose with vigor and zest!
Reaching always from the North,
south, east, and west!
Sending all my love,
― Karishmananda
