Again and again
Human race is being misguided
Is it a reality or just a fake refraction?
When light pierces the black sky-
Only my world is being illuminated
Why is it still dark-
Where Dollar, Pound and Euro rule?
Why light hides herself-
From the eyes of the mighty west?

Wake up Kamran!
Look around your enlightened soul
Listen to the trumpets-
Of the embryonic spring
That is crying aloud-
For the paucity of budding flowers
Cautiously hear the chirps-
Of the perished sparrows
They are moaning-
For the lack of water and food
And chew the perplexity-
Of the soaring minds
Which are craving-
For more and more

Every morning we wake up
And leave the bed-
Of heavenly desires
To fulfill the appetite-
Of our burning stomach
Some get the best reward-
Of the minor struggle
And most remain deprived-
Even after bloody perspiration

Then again dark engulfs the dying sun
The mighty west gets brightened
And the unworthy east
Falls into transitory peace
Destined to rise once again
From the trance of ephemeral dawn
