I HAVE DREAMS

Dr. Zainul Husain

I have dreams, but I could never bring them to life.

For the very earth that once witnessed their flaunting stride

Was rendered entirely barren by those who were once their own.

I have beheld the prettiest faces, but never held them in my gaze.

First, they made lovers; then turned them into slaves,

Haunted their memories by the pain of their heartless tales.

I have watched the sands of time slipping through my clenched fist.

Despite my desperate attempts to halt their flow,

They continued to seep through my fingers.

Life remained on the journey, getting jolts,

And the brief moments of respite that came my way

Were lost before they could be savored."
