Free Bird Poem by Mohammad Younus

The soul stretches out its wings in the air,
Gliding through the echoing musical waves,
Wont to fly back to its eternal home after long exile,
As though the caged bird had silently sneaked out,
With a view to flying as a free bird in the skies,
Who is this that gives strength of will to the bird?
To break through the iron bars of the cage,
and fly freely in the open air singing, dancing.
Yearning to soar high and high to the infinite
Unending hights, far off from the cage on earth.
The bird won't fly down to eat pearls on the earth
He has only one fascination in the world
That is freedom, which makes his life dignified
For nothing is worth more than freedom!
The freedom which the bird out of cage enjoys!
