A Day Will Come Poem by Mohammad Younus

A day will come,
When the birds in the cage will be let free,
To sing the songs of love and peace,
On the boughs of every tree,
In the ancient prison existing on the earth,
Once a paradise free,
A day will come,
When the honey bees will in swarms buzz,
The songs of peace in rose and tulip gardens,
In meadows and mountains,
A day will come,
When the singing birds will come back,
To their gardens to sing,
The songs of love and peace,
To celebrate their freedom,
A day will come,
When we will rise from the dead,
To live without fear and terror,
When we won't sit in funeral circles,
To sing elegies and cry,
When instead we will see reemerging,
On the faces of all our people,
The long lost smile and shine,
When we will not mourn and moan,
And live in funeral style,
When we will not speak of tyranny,
And terror any longer,
When we will forgive and forget,
And not think of taking revenge,
Let disappointment and grief,
Not stand in our way,
One day the sun of love and peace,
Shall surely rise in the sky!
And, inshaallah, we will rejoice for life,
And not live in death,
A day will come,
When we will live in peace, and coexist with all,
Breathing in and breathing out love and peace,
with every breath!
