On Shakespeare
.. —after Iqbal
River mirrors the glow of dawn
Night silence mirrors night song
Rose mirrors the fame of spring
Bridal cup mirrors the virgin wine
Sun’s glory revealed in the sun
Your passionate speech mirrors my heart
Concealed from the world’s eyes
You revealed the world with your own
Nature protects her secrets so jealousy
Never again will there be such knowledge
