(11) Integrity Shall Make Me Immortal Poem by Lubna S. Khan

I want to be the sun,
A sun that shall never fade.
And when the night turns on
Through the stars I shall be immortal made.

I want to be the cloud,
A cloud that shall never be perished.
And when the monsoons arrive
Through showers of rains I shall be cherished.

I want to be the jasmine,
A jasmine that shall never wither.
And when my death angels come
Through my fragrance I shall remain hither.

I want to be true human,
A human who shall die never.
And when my life's end comes
Through my integrity I shall live forever.
