Forgiveness- A BlessingA Poem by Hammad Rizvi
When the crack of dawn glowed, I
forgave you, What you caused to me yesterday, I Forgot. I ignored my scars then condoned your brutality. For the sake of Almighty, I forgave. Those birds, flying over the street, taught me. How to pardon; The slayers of our loved ones, And the destroyers of our houses, Those birds without prejudice, forgive all. Those who caged them, they forgave all. And, now in this world filled with misery and despair; My spine stabbed with a thousand knives, But, I stood peacefully and I live with my heart placid, For I forgave those having dagger in their hand. For the sake of God, I forgave. And this is what I hope for from you Forgive me for what I have done. Not for my sake as I don’t deserve. But for the sake of Almighty, And with the thought in mind I forgave And for the same you do forgive That we are contributing for peace, Peace of our Heart and Peace of our world. Forgive them; forget your wounds, but not what they taught you, © 2014 Hammad Rizvi |
