Moment of wait
Allahobhayo Dal 1977 (Karachi)
Moment of wait,
Getting on eager
Morning, noon, likewise night, then dawn time.
She made a promise before the first shine of the sun touches the rose petals,
Dried to dew drops on leaves, sweaty sunny noon,
The sun says farewell words to the mountains,
A moony night with a cluster of stars
Touches the water lily flowers,
birds back to their nests.
The serene voice on the flute becomes silent.
l am your's only your's
but then, she disappeared,
She left me on a long wait
About this poem
In the memory of beloved one , she promised I just come but in vain
