Outside the abode of our sleep br Somewhere a dream burns br Somewhere tears sparkle br Somewhere a moon smoulders br br Outside the abode of our sleep br Somewhere the sun rises br Somewhere the black beauty - night br Street walks br Somewhere an earthen lamp br Hides behind a facade br br Outside the abode or our sleep br Somewhere bright birds flutter br Somewhere beasts of prey prowl br Somewhere there's a memory - forest br A desert there is - and a watershed br Somewhere a snowscape burns br br Outside the abode of our sleep br Somewhere there's a cloud-burst br Eyes stare in longing br Somewhere in the ocean of the heart br Someone burns to a dry death br br Outside the abode of our sleep br Somewhere two flowers bloom br Somewhere we see each other every day br Somewhere the wounds are sutured br br Outside the abode of our sleep br Somewhere a roof is lit up br A door is afire br Somewhere hidden br Somewhere revealed br Outside the abode of our sleep br A dream burns. br br Poem by: Naseer Ahmed Nasir,1979. br Translated from Urdu into English by Dr. Satyapal Anand br Copyrights (C) All rights reserved.
