I did not know
Where I was going
Some body sent me alone
To meet you all,
When I went
Every body was moving
I found the markets lonely
And the streets very empty.

I took a painful pang
Not for myself but for them
As I have two friends
To play with …..
One is my own beloved mind
And the other is our beautiful child,

Abdul Wahab
