This Is My Grave

This is my grave, here I lay; rest This is not a place to weep and cry, Go away, go away; that will be the best, I fear, your tears, may run lamp dry, You know; I always tried to be with light, I am not praiseworthy; I am not so bright, If ye wish to stand here then recite the verses, Praise to Allah, the Almighty, If ye do so, then My lamp will burn brightly, Forever…. I always thought, What this life is? Messenger's message only to recite, Or to act accordingly; as per the truth, If ye know this, Kindly whisper, I will be happier than ever, Shrouded white blanket is not dirty one, With our vice, we make it dirty, This is my grave, here I lay; rest This is not a place to weep and cry, For I, always fought with the wind, Now, I don't allow that wind, I should not be awaken by evil Go away, go away; that will be the best, I fear, your tears, may run lamp dry, This is my grave, here I lay; rest This is not a place to weep and cry ©2014 Aftab Alam Khursheed.
