West And East Poem by Akhtar Jawad
West And East
You are shining I salute to your grace,
A steadfast mind an attractive face,
You are simple in thinking and high in living,
To the human race you have been giving,
So many luxuries and lovely comforts,
The wheat you donate I see at your ports,
Medicines that are needed by the poor sick men,
Advance theories that come from your pen,
You are doing much more for humans in pain,
You are high in sky and causing rain,
You are making efforts to conquer the space,
A flying kiss! I admire your glace.
I am East I have been a slave,
If you dig my old and ancient grave,
You will find bodies of great thinkers,
Many pioneers and learned inkers,
The foundation for you they laid down,
In return to salute can you give a crown?
Though East has nothing to boast of now, it had an ancient culture much profound than that of the West! But most of the advancement now comes from the West! So let us hold the East and the West on equal footing! Let us not claim superiority of one over the other! As Khalido Bano has put... a different write! Enjoyed!
