The Essence of a Woman's Love

Ahsan Ahmad

He asked, "Who was Shah Latif?"

"The world's first feminist poet," I said.

He asked, "How!?"

I said, "Thus:

He knew what a woman wanted.

Even Aristotle could not answer this question

That is why Allama Iqbal said:

"Thousands of times sages have solved it

Still, the problem remains the same.

All the intellectuals and poets of the world kept saying that

'Women are a problem'

Only Latif was aware of this fact:

The woman is not the problem.

A woman is love!

But that is not love

That man does!

For a man, love is the body

For a woman, love is passion.

A man's love is a snare of the flesh

A woman's love is the freedom of the soul.

A man's love is competition

A woman's love is humility.

A man's love is a bridge

A woman's love is the whole life.

A man's love is a myth

A woman's love is a reality!

All poets from Shakespeare to Shelley

And from Homer to you

Everyone thought that a woman is a lover

Only the king knew that the woman was in love

Hence Shah Latif wrote:

'Woman is the teacher of love.'

Everyone thought that

What does a woman want?

A throne; luck and a hard body!?

Shah Abdul Latif knew that

A woman needs love

Soft and delicate, warm and fuzzy

Beyond the body

Independent of sex.

In the jungle of the male body

Wanders a hungry beast.

A woman in the heart of the soul

Is a flying butterfly

Who is thirsty for love.

Love hunger for man

And love for woman

Is a thirst!

Only Latif knew

A woman's lips are a beach

And her existence is an ocean

Flowing from the eyes

A sea of ​​tears

Which is also salty

And

Beautiful too!!

In which there is turmoil

In which there is sorrow

In which there is no sorrow

There is only pain."
