Timely redeem!

Ishtiyaq 1964 (Karari)



Timely redeem!

Err one may, in innocence,
But none must, in ignorance.
Inadvertent; forgiven is sin,
Intentional; none’s forgiven.

Until sincerest redemption,
No exemption, no expiation.
Ego, What if I? Arrogance,
Lock redemption in defiance.

‘Worldly’ indulge in emption,
‘Death’ offers none an option.
‘Except’ eviction, isolation.
Redeem prior to Resurrection.

To eternally reign supreme,
‘Hereafter,’ timely redeem!

Ishtiyaq

About this poem
