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.<br /><br />Naseer Ahmed Nasir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dream-fallen-out-of-sleep/
