Birds In The Sky Poem by Nadeem Ishaque

Birds In The Sky

Rating: 5.0


Look how birds in the sky,
Together in unison they fly.
Content in Nature's beauty,
For all it bestows in plenty,
They pile not grain selfishly,
And never of hunger do they die.

Only does man hoard Nature's bounty
And only man dies of hunger in poverty.

(Translation of Bulleh Shah)

It's depth observation of moral principle we live for. We love, we gain. We hate, We are in pain. We are greedy, we are loser. Thanks for the wonderful translation.
