If some one were to flash a light
Would you be able to see
All those things
Which are lost in the deep swarthy
Liquid of darkness
Life’s configuration
Death’s face
Body of sadness
Lips of sound, dimples of pain
marble-white feet of happiness
Henna-colored fingers of love
Universes of beloved’s tresses
Indeed, the divinely musical shadow of God…….
If some one were to flash a light
Would you be able to see
Wrapped up in the primordial fog
Waiting since life’s beginning
Some one’s eyes!
(Translated from Urdu into English by Dr. Satyapal Anand)
