Sadiqullah Khan - *Some Other Time

The sweat of struggle on forehead
In difficulty as life under the sun
Warmth of sun god asking to move
As the time chases with impunity
Guarded from the world external

What nature brought on the bank
The river for centuries from unknown
Will it stop for a while for the one
His hands in dust but the human
Still alive offering help but despised

Every thing in dreams melts
In the waters of river many fantasies
Seen with open eyes as the value
Judged by the coins in gold and afar
See the nature in alien desperation

Breathe the freshness of the air
From the window of life when
You stand alone looking to structures
In concrete the feelings are fixed like
Eyes on a beauty when in every soul
You live to see the dimensions live

Things have price emotions frozen
Worth in credit you owe to others
On the way down the lane yours
Hard realities like the cold walls
Longer worries when faith refuses

To honor age old remedies friends
In their own long ways may smile
Around the sharpness of the corners
In their selves sufferings that mixes
Sweat with mud holding their chests
Some other time we will meet to share
Old fantasies and memories of loved ones
