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)
