Look At Birds Poem by Mohammad Younus

Look at birds,
They are so far,
Gliding and flying in the air,
Hopping on the land and perching on the trees,
Sitting in their nests caring for their chicks,
I catch a phoenix to burn fire in my heart,
I know what I want in me,
I want to kindle fire of love in my heart,
Glowing and flamming!
Greater than the sun!
I know it's so hard a wish,
To burn in love,
Actually my soul wants to find,
Where it originally belongs,
It is never wrong to burn for what we love,
Like a moth going round a lamp,
It is my birth desire to reach the light,
Even if I might burn to ashes,
Like a phoenix who desires...
...to take a new birth.
