My friend gifted me a chandelier, <br />But my eyes, being blind to others <br />See a color of their choice, <br />Unconcerned of the rainbow, <br />A rotating beauty! <br />Inheritance, ignorance and obstinacy, <br />Of a heart having love, <br />Blended with hate, <br />I am an especial color blind, <br />My eyes are sensitive to inherited radiation, <br />The beauty of others is irritating for me! <br />Am I the man my friend really meant? <br /> <br />(Lau shama-e-haqueequat ki apni jagah per hay, <br /> Fanoos ki gardish se keya keya nazar aata hay. <br />Jigar Muradabadi)<br /><br />Akhtar Jawad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chandelier-2/
