A Future I left Behind
M. Yusuf Abbasi

 

O! Don't wait for me
I can't go with you
On the dream paths
I have to bring along
A future, I left behind
In tearful eyes
Of a little girl
With an empty bowl
Standing in the shadow
Of a fallen house,
Her parents gone
In swirling waters.
Let me run fast
Before the skies weep
And drown the earth again.
