Bland Winds Blow And Beep Poem by Muhammad Shanazar

The trees vacillate,
Eyes are bent not to sleep,
Bland winds blow and beep.

Memories of a betrayer make me weep,
Bland winds blow and beep.

Eyes do not exhaust gazing at the routes
And they cannot help waiting
I hope for his arrival, but afraid of
The world on me would leap,
Bland winds blow and beep.

Memories of a betrayer make me weep,
Bland winds blow and beep.

I shall keep the secret from the folks laughingly,
Telling them either a lie or the truth,
But how I shall escape from the heart,
While glows of love on the world creep,
Bland winds blow and beep.

Memories of a betrayer make me weep,
Bland winds blow and beep.

When I go to fetch the water
Early in the morn, my heart throbs
Lest he should call and catch my writs,
And flames from
The smouldering heap begin to seep,
Bland winds blow and beep.

Memories of a betrayer make me weep,
Bland gusts blow and beep.

The trees vacillate,
Eyes are bent not to sleep
Bland gusts blow and beep.
