Arise From Deep Sleep Poem by Mohammad Younus

Arise from deep sleep
Look up, you downhearted people
From the eastern window
The dawn is breaking
The world is waking
To a bright new day
No terror No fear
No restriction on you
Nor shame No defame

Now brood no more
On the woeful events behind you
Let bygones be bygone
The future of love and peace...
Shall the bloody past replace
You will grow wiser and stronger
You will not be the bone of contention
Between the dogs two...
A brown dog and a black dog! ! !

So long you waited
Suppressed and oppressed
Now hate be hated,
Now love be greeted
Now light shall guide you
Out of old world of darkness
To your goal of peace and prosperity
No one will deny you your liberty
And all doors shall be open
That for long on you were closed

See clearly the great promise
O' dejected and frustrated people!
Long Night is nearly over
Be ready for a new brightful day
Though a long and difficult way to go
New heights will greet you
And joy immense will complete you
When you reach your dreamed summits
To you and to your children
Very very happy day! ! !
