Ideal Poem by Afzal Shauq

'Girl of this village!
have you seen her …? '

'Know you where
she can be found...? '

Strange the look
the girl gave...

She studied me
in disbelief...

'Man...! you are mad...'

'Whom you seek
is not of this village...'

'We know her
to be fairy...'

'And fairies
never to villages keep...'

'They reside in fairyland.'
