Went to a stage and proved as chic,
Mine get nothing and returned as sick.
Talked with travelers about what they tick,
Got a simple answer what you pick.
Convened, to a finest man, and traveled through a ship,
Searched in gardens but found crickets chirp.
Traveled to space and found through moon’s grip,
Yet the sun’s rays lead me to nothing and I dipped in dip.
I searched over the world and take no rest,
It grayed my hair but got no conquest.
Searched over searched, as I prepared a test
Hope seemed ending till I found an agony best.
Agony; my friend, my hope, my wish,
You are mine, no one can you crash.
Stay as long as you may flash,
My promise with you; bear you in splash.
But optimism in my life; still alive, as hope
My hope is one that never ever drupe
O my Allah! My only hope;
May rest my soul in Heaven and make Eden as my crop.
