Passing Wind Poem by Perveiz Ali

Wind passed as if from heaven to earth
Touched not only the body, but the soul’s depth

I was innocent of the meaning of life at birth
But managed to get acquainted its secrets
My perception is now in right perspective
The result of this enterprise – lucrative

But what pain is endured is this game!
Yet, can't let it drain me if I must gain
Your fragrance is still on – sweet breath of heaven.
Oh! There is no substitute, there is no letting go
So I will wait and wait to have you back
I wait, with open arms, to receive you back

My life is consecrated to bringing it back
Come back; come...lest I suffer a soul attack!
