A Wish Poem by Mohammad Akmal Nazir

I wish to go from here
To a place near the woods
For from the sly world
I shall make a cottage
Near the beautiful lake
Where the sun shines
With all its glory
Where the moolight covers the darkness
With it's white cloak
Where cricket sing
to invite
Their allies for the same
Where I shall pray to God
Day and night
In the day, I shall go in the forest
To collect the wood
And return as the day departs
With the pile of woods on my shoulder
I shall rest near the lake
Recounting my days in the world
And I will atone for my sins
By offering more and more
Prayers to Almighty
I will despise all wordly luxuries
And thank Nature for Her blessings
My encounter with Nature will be pleasant
As I will take Her as my patron
I shall never harm Her
And one day in Her lap
I will say a final 'Good Bye'
To this callous world.
