lila
i saw a flower
nodding near a stream
wasting her sooteness
and her dreams
i bent to kiss
and stated my claim
i plucked and gave her
an arab name
for short a time
my lila faded young
i wrote her songs
but laid unsung
i penned my grief
in rhyming lines of woe
recite them
where my lila used to grow
in valleys veiled
where raging rivers run
then springtime came
in dewy gown
i found fair buds
and blumes a-swaying
where my lila was
once a-lying
why did i mope O
why did i grieve
allah knows when to rise her
from the grave
