Analysis of Like an Image
Sitting on the shore of an ocean
Busy in counting receding waves
I think about the days to run
Throwing water on each other paves
Building castles of love with sand
And then demolishing as a fun
Enthralled in love not on land
Under scorching heat of hot sun
Then you left me in disgust in pain
And selected my rival just to tease
Now when I come on shore in rain
Life becomes curse not to please
I see your image on the water
Which vanishes like an image
Love becomes beauty's martyr
And remains on stage as a page
Col Muhammad Khalid Khan
