| Bismillah Salam Alaikum; Poor restless dove, I pity thee and when I hear thy plaintive moan I mourn for thy captivity and In thy woes forget my Own. To see thee stand prepared to fly and flap those useless wings of thine and gaze yearning at the distant sky would melt a harder heart than mine In vain, In vain! thou can not Rise. Thy prison roof confines thee there It's slender wires delude thine eyes and quench thy longings with despair. oh, thou were created to wander free In sunny mead and shady grove and, far beyond the rolling sea In distant climes, at will to Rove! Yet, had thou but one gentle mate thy little fragile heart to cheer and share with thee thy captive state thou couldst be happy even There. Yes, even there If, listening by one faithful dear companion stood while gazing on her full bright eye thou might forget thy native Wood. But thou, poor solitary dove must make, unheard, thy joyless moan the heart, that God formed to love must pine, neglected, and Alone. Fi Amanillah Ziad |
