After long, years ago
After finding place…

Still I struggled and had guest
- (a sudden visitor
-whom had seen and knew
-from far; deep in heart…)

Her father was mullah
- (closer to Late-Shah
-than the ruling mullahs.)

I happened to meet her
-when I was invited
-by husband's brother
-who dealt in the carpets
-and antiques, imported…

Her husband, Nasser was
-the youngest of three brothers…

News came that last two
-traceless, were missing!
-Their car, as rumor said
-was at Port; Umm-Al-Quwain!

Her husband, Nasser, then
-was out as becomes fog in the Sun!

Mansoor was the middle, most active
-had worked in the Iran's hospital.

The Iran's Hospital
-in Dubai of that time
-was shrine and pride
-for patients and Iran
- (in all of Emirates)
- (ever-best for its time…)

It also was the base
-and core of politics, political!

At start, after Shah
-and coming of mullahs
-the sheikhs were cautious as
-were Arabs of Lawrence
-like Ali and Feisal
-with Aude among them.

The changes were eerie, dreadful.

The US and Europe sent Lawrence
-message was: "Unite for Arab Cause"

Pack of wolves named "Mullahs"
-showed their teeth, fangs and paws
-to world and Persian Gulf;
-such a howl entrapped people of Hospital!

Plenty were kidnaps,
-by the Right, Left, Middle
-plenty were blames and murders!
-as had been by the sheikhs of Lawrence.

Fooled locals were helped rise
-to loot the Ottomans with hatred and blood!
-Same happened to friends and the foes of the shah…

Mansoor was only!
-out from the Dubai to end up Iran
-or tummy of the shark…
- (most of them in silence and secret!)

Some women were missing,
-traders signed release forcibly
-to avoid Sheikh's threat: "Bankruptcy! "

My guest was mother of
-children with bad hearts;
-who needed surgery and money,
-which was held by oldest brother
-who become the ruling dictator
-to exempt others as, is said of older Ford
- (voted for, to become Premiere…)
