Poetry Feature of Shafkat Aziz Hajam


I am a bulb, thou art my filament.
 
How would I glow without thy attachment?
 
O thou ignite me inside
 
And the glare goes outside.

But for thee, I can't be incandescent.

Why thou hast blocked my way o white,
 
To reach the spot where I could light
 
'n heal wounded 'n glum heart?
 
Thy this act more pains brought
 
To me, though thou art an alluring sight.
