saadat tahir - Eids went bye past...1108-2k13

2014-06-16 3

In better times superb Eids, went bye past
Eid now, just that, a passing name

Eids that were delight, in visages lost,
gone beloved, are a sentence of the same

Would that beloved, dwells in bodily form
Eid by measure own, be celebrated thus
Else Eid’s tint, befalls us devoid of any charm!

What, Wherefore, Is now Eid’s warm?
Therein now broken lives plow
Plant within us staid and deathly harm.
