Life was at its best long before
Like memory of faithless links,
Lilies bloomed in the sunshine
Like the lovely face of beloved;
Life danced jovially all through
Were friendly with world around,
Where lamps of desires light up
Was the entertaining ambiance?
In the bowl of universe, my dear
We were the ambassador of change,
There’s not any everlasting shelter
We surrendered before body and soul;
We all are in debt of smiling
Every soul has to pay this debt;
Have to collect pieces ourselves
Have to be swindled all through;
I wish to share with you about
Signs of dreams, have strewn,
In the ocean of feelings, are
Crucifixes put on the streets;
We have to pay our gratitude,
Have to carry the yoke of life;
Shaista Mufti
