We both were created in a lovely river, <br />Coming from the peaks of the highest mountains, <br />Together took showers in the cleanest fountains, <br />We played together we danced together. <br />Our song was the same and the dreams were common, <br />I neither was a devil nor were you a demon. <br /> <br />We went to school in the white uniform, <br />And jointly did our all home work, <br />Same was the dawn and same was the dusk, <br />We stood together in deeds and perform. <br />Our worship was friendship and love was the sermon, <br />I neither was a devil nor were you a demon. <br /> <br />The river still flows but the banks are different, <br />I am on the west and you are on the east, <br />We can see each other and talk at least, <br />And the friendship is alive although it is dormant. <br />Bodies have been changed but the soul is common, <br />I neither am a devil nor are you a demon. <br /> <br />We are now old our hair are now white, <br />But in our depths we are still loving friends, <br />Our thinking is unchanged with all old trends, <br />Still the springs are enjoyed with a kite. <br />In many fields is reflected the relation, <br />I neither am a devil nor are you a demon. <br /> <br />We both are children and still juvenile, <br />Could we swim together in the river's waves! <br />The river is unchanged in all her behaves, <br />Could we share our tear and share the smile! <br />The hearts are beating with the same old passion, <br />I neither am a devil nor are you a demon. <br /> <br />Could we walk together on the banks of the fate! <br />Could we talk each other all day all night! <br />Could we fight with the time with all our might! <br />You are my friend and I am your mate. <br />Now wait for embrace in the great deep ocean, <br />I neither am a devil nor are you a demon.<br /><br />Akhtar Jawad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-neither-am-a-devil-nor-are-you-a-demon/
