<≪≪ Statue

If I were not a witness Of the murder of the twin birds And had not I faced two floods And seen so much human blood to waste away And met Babur on the day when the gate of heaven Broken into pieces to the barbaric waves Then I could have saved enough tears To shed over the death of you My darling And weep at the grave Of your dogs which snatched away The morsels from the mouth of children from Kabul to Babylon From Ahmadabad to Palestine but the ducks Of my eyes went dry, My darling For I cried for Grahame stain And his two sons In the kingdom of Asoka when they were burnt down alive No more I could move my mind And melt my heart by your sweet romantic words As I saw the heinous crimes in Bosnia Hard core actions of cruelty in Chechnya Now I am a statue Unable to meet your kind demands And human enquiries If you can Pardon me, my darling please! !
