NIGHT




When the cockerels have crowed

When the wind becomes a child

When the atmosphere goes sad

And the cloud-gut sky now frowns

When the silvery white sheet sublimes

And the tiny dots appear

When the lazy fronds type

At the blindness of the sky

When young hearts gather and play

Under the watchful eyes of moonlight

Making merry telling tales

Out of the sunshine of emotion's warmth

When silence becomes louder than noise

And the crickets chant an endless anthem

When Allah's worshippers yawn their prayers

As loud as rapture's blast would

When life's fire is flickered out

And life's light is trimmed down

Even if our light was dark

We could blinklessly say its night.
