Michele Vizzotti-White In the radiant darkness of night time,...such a fine opening line....i like the way the poem blooms from natural setting...
A WALK TO REMEMBER
MATLOOB BOKHARI
In the radiant darkness of night time,
A vast silence was reigning over the sky
The silent music of night touched my soul
And blossomed flowers in the soil of my mind
Love of God enveloped my heart; ruled my heart
God Who created beauty and is beauty Himself
I thought about sufferings of prophets of scriptures
I thought about ungrateful children of revolution
I heard angels saying, “Man will shed blood on earth.”
I heard Allah replying , “I know which you know not.”
I thought about desire driven and greedy man
I saw the sinful soul created with deceit with base cronies
I saw Hujr bin Adi shackled with iron; stained with blood
I saw Meesam talking to tree: “You are for me, I am for you”
My murshud said: “ Happiest are people; strongest in faith
They prefer Allah; Allah will prefer them over others
Life is merely story of two days ;one for you , one against you”
NOTE; HUJR BIN ADI AND MEESAM WERE GREAT FREEDOM FIGHTERS WHO WERE HANGED BY AN OMMAYAD RULER
