The demented person

Author: Munaj Gul Muhammad

Your departure has been a symbol of dementia for him,

After all his eyes always began to tear in the harsh wind.

After you! He has gone in the world of solitude,

There are countless tears rolling down his cheeks.

But no-one wipes the tears from his eyes as he has no-one!

For, you left him forever.

Your departure is a sign of hell for him,

Yet he wants to look for the heaven in every sight.

But that heaven is nowhere on earth.

Yet he has not been deluded!

Only his tears roll down.

Neither he is bold nor a coward in remembering you!

For, your departure has been a symbol of madness for him,

After all his eyes always began to tear in the harsh wind.
