A Long Journey Poem by Muhammad Shanazar

A Long Journey



We have journeyed
A journeyed long,
But why the steps have stopped
On this very step.
Why have the feet
Become strengthless?
What has happened such as this is?
The wind has begun tumbling,
And often goes astray,
Those who accompanied me
Now have left far behind,
They have gone
Changing direction of the route,
I stand here all alone,
On the spot where I behold,
The exhausted sky laden with galaxies,
And absorbed is in its dark vacancies
The mark of my lost destination.

Who knows what has happened?
Perhaps someone has sentenced
Punishment to my feet,
I know not what someone has done to me,
That voice, the shadow,
That one who had been with me
In the form of fragrance,
That whom I came across on the way,
But who knows where has gone
All of sudden,
And here I stand all alone on the steps
Now only I think,
Now I have nothing, now I have naught!
