When you come, the star shines!

Author: Munaj Gul Muhammad

When you come down the star shines,

The Earth seems dark and the night seems bright,

Water flows on the mountain and sun follows you,

For you are a beautiful angel,

In the world of solitude,

You are the dream of a dreamer,

Who has been passing the days and nights dreaming,

He is compelled to take a solitary walk everywhere,

Since you are ever decamping from him,

And he always suffers from dementia,

He’s learning to fly without wings,

But he couldn’t fly his first solo,

Thus, the star shone when you came down,

And there was a graveyard near the school,

Where someone has been interred for over a 1,000 years,

For she had an odd look on her face,

Who looks at her and wastes the time,

Might someone,

I ever see the luminous eyes of someone,

That makes me remember my gone days,

Exceptional effulgence of the harvest moon is ever a striking sight,

That beautifies the nature,

When you come down the star shines,

The Earth seems dark and the night seems bright,

Water walks on the mountain and the sun follows you,

For you are a beautiful angel.
