gule rukhsar (malakand agency / 24.11.1994)

i walked and walked
through the streets and roads
far away to a land
where mud and sand
covered with cherry grass
and the little blossoms
covered with dew
where the wind blew
and wondrous trees grew
the dancing lilies
and the reddish cherries
the chirping thrush
and the beautiful rush
so wondrous all around
like a rainbow on the ground
i forgot the way i traveled
ad was lost in the wavy gravel
forever and ever
