Do not Stand

a poem by Mujahid Khan

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep…

I am in the tears of sky
I am in the gloom of this earth
I am in the loneliness of this wind
I am there in the pains of this deep sea

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep…

I am in the darkness of the night
I am also in the joys of this sunlight
I am in the gentle rain…
I am present in nature’s every sweep…

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep…

I am in the vision of yours eyes
I am in the shine of yours hairs
I am in your heart…
I am present in your soul…
May you be knowing…
May be you’re unknown…
But I am with you…
In all yours walks and leap…

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep…
