Golden brown
Crinkled up
Edges torn
Or curled
Swishing along
The ground
At the bidding
Of the wind
How far will it go
How long will it roam?
Even a leaf will get tired
Of wandering
Wavering
What of man?
The finest extended metaphor poem in recent times. Brilliant verse, Nosheen!
'Even a leaf will get tired'. Strength or swiftness will not stop a man from falling or becoming absent in the present. Wonderful poem.
How long will it roam? How long will it go? The answers to these questions are limited dear poetess. I love this poem. My pleasure revisiting this outstanding poem.

I would like to translate this poem
What of man? ..... why men alone?
Man is meant for mankind.
