Where Are You Poem by Matloob Bokhari

WHERE ARE YOU?

MATLOOB BOKHARI

O my beloved, O pride of the moon

O crown of the luminous sky

He who sits beside you by a flowing stream

And drinks a full cup from your hands

His lips utter no other name but you

His eyes see no other sight but you

His ears listen no other voice but you

His mind thinks no one else but you

Moon, stars, birds -all sing your hymn

O beauty of the rose, O my heart's secret

Your memory runs through my veins

I weep even in my sleep for you

Farewell my love, I am walking

Down the memory lane with tears

Like diamonds rolling down my cheeks

Asking about you! Where are you?

Where are you? Aye, where are you?
