A handful of water
A bit of earth
And a moment long sky
I wander all around
For
I’m in love with clouds
A fire I lit in a shade
The silk of time set itself ablaze
A bowl of water I sought
And deluge ravished my soul
I embossed a moment long sky
And
My reverie flew off along the call of birds
I carved a bit of earth
Now whispers have built a gaol around me
Someone should bring along
A drop of fire
A chunk of water
A bit of soil
I’ll mould them into a piece of cloud
For I’m in love with clouds
This is an English translation of a Balochi poem written by Munir Momin
