- Give me back my moon
M. Yusuf Abbasi
- Give me back the moon!
- A child's wonder,
- In the blue skies yonder;
- Where an old woman spins,
- Fairy tales to ponder.
- Give me back the moon!
- Shining through time,
- In evey chime,
- A lover's dream,
- A radiant joy,
- For every lonely heart,
- Spare me this boon!
- If flags follow,
- The feet of men,
- It's beauty would swoon,
- Into death.
- You may wander,
- You may wonder,
- And peer into space beyond,
- But come back soon:
- Don't plant there,
- Those crooked sickles,
- Those dusty stars,
- Those shackles and bars;
- Which tarnish the earth,
- With senseless wars,
- And mar my vision,
- Of God and man,
- O spare this boon!
- Give me back the moon!
