From the darkish alleys of the thoughts, the one path I discovered
Led me, with my physique scarred, ahead sure
However upon wanting, all roads turned to mirages
The sky appeared no totally different from the bottom
The identical unseen monsters descending
The identical mud masking the paths to the vacation spot
Who is aware of during which path they’re main
For ages, the legal guidelines of nature have been deceptive
And I, at all times ignoring the fatigue of my sight
Look forward, hoping for the mud to clear
In order that the vessel of my life finds its haven
However provided that the quarrels of the leaders stop
If any phrase unites them in settlement
I’ll settle for all their instructions
Even when it means I’ve to drown
Life, you don’t have anything else to supply
The identical tumult returns morning and night
Yesterday, the world lamented you
As we speak, you stay a troublesome path
Many caravans got here and went
Their hopes extinguished by your fingers
Eyes stored crying and hearts stored sighing
Numerous these saddened by you
You modified your requirements, however not your methods
Your murderous type stays the identical
Generally you carry blossoming gardens
Generally your savage methods within the title of life
Look upon these wailing faces
Stains of shame upon your brow
Aslam Murad
