Oh My Mother Poem by Mohammad Younus

Oh, my mother
who had pure eyes;
Oh, the golden heart
that occupied your breast
That night when I had fallen sick
Oh, my lovely mother
You wrapped me
with a white warm towel
You washed my face
with fresh water,
Your sacred light had descended on my face
When I first opened my eyes...
...on this harsh planet
You are residing in heavenly abode
How can I see you from here?
I close my eyes now with a desire
To remember the time...
...your hands washed my face...
...your hands rocked my cradle
