A Poem from the Book:
“Through the Window of Taj Mahal” ( a book of 30 poems)

For how long

Your stretched hands will continue

To invite the Sun

Into the cold of your heart?

Tell your feet

To pick up the first blossoms

From the divine bosom of the Earth.

The Wandering stars

Have emigrated

From the River of Illumination in the East

To the Coast of Trade in the West,

And now disbelief is a wanton breeze

That roams through every street.

“Emigration of Illumination” – a reflective English poem by Mahmud Kianush on the themes of spiritual exile, fading light, and the human search for warmth and meaning in a disenchanted world.
