COURTESY OF LOCKDOWN

on

 


Hey there, my friend

Where have you been?

What news do you carry

Of the lands you have traveled in?

Tell me the truth you bring

Is it possible for me to bear?

For if I hear many a good thing

I shall have no bitter care

Will your news call my tears?

That will flood and drown me

Or will it bring joy and cheers

Come, my friend, tell me

Will tears of joy bathe my body

And cleanse me of all sin

Or will a flood come and drown me

And leave me bare to the skin?

O tell me my fair friend

For I can bear it no more

That news that you carry

Do you have any more?

What news do you bring?

Of those who live there

Tell me,

Or will it cost me my despair?


Abdullah Shafique Malik IX O B
