Poems
Like a Wild Flower
by Parween Faiz Zadah Malaal
Like a wild flower waiting for rain
Like a river bank thirsty to be touched by pitchers
Like dawn, longing for light
Wants/needs a moment to take a breath.
And like a house
Like a house which is ruined/destroyed without a woman/(wife)
Likewise, the tired man of our times
Wants/needs a moment to sleep/rest
On the arms of peace/serenity/tranquillity.
