the morning star is shining in the east
and still I grieve the rising sun
for night is almost done
night conceals the cruelty of the earth
war and dark oppression hide
beyond a pleading dream
the sun reveals reality and pain
no justice for humanity
till night has come again
yet in corners of the darkened globe
battles rage both night and day
and dreams are no relief

I would like to translate this poem
Yes, indeed for some there is no relief whether it's day or night. I like how you have equated sunrise with reality n pain, though mostly sunrise means hope n light. And i agree that the sleep brings relief to many despite the darkness. A huge 10.
Thanks Nosheen. Reality can be painful especially for people who not only have our own pain to deal with but an acute awareness of all the suffering in our world.
