I dreamt of
Signature of light,
In the book of the night.

******

At the far end of the night,
The dawn smiles
At the last star.

******

Someone sings at a distance,
In the ocean of the night
The moon sinks.

******

It's the last quarter of the night,
On the cold wet floor
The moonbeams were sleeping.

******

Let me write a dream,
The night of troubles is long
Let me create a moon.


(1987, Translated from Urdu into English by Dr.M.Q. Khan, Gaya, India)
