Shadows Of Tyranny Poem by Muhammad Shanazar

Human blood is being shed,
Who knows where has gone Love;
This Man of caves is moving ahead,
Wiping away the signs of life.
These diamonds of mothers,
These anchals of sisters,
Bracelets of brides,
These petals, these bodies,
Lay torn scattered,
Somewhere in pieces,
And somewhere leaf by leaf.

These dancing shadows of tyranny,
Overshadowing the souls
Who knows when they will dissipate?
Who knows when they will dissolve?
