What indeed is your patrimony <br />My sweet child, Aniqa! <br />A few 'ghazal' compositions, a handful of <br />poems <br />Which are but treasures <br />Of broken hearts, given for safekeeping <br />To your dad? <br /> <br />These are tales <br />Of days bygone <br />Lived before your time <br />Narratives written in blood <br />Prophecies of better seasons to come! <br /> <br />Somewhere, if at all <br />You suffer under the tyranny <br />Of moments sad and forlorn <br />Must read these poems, my child <br />For, I'm sure <br />They will reveal <br />My philosophy of sorrow and happiness <br /> <br />A moment, indeed <br />My sweet child, Aniqa <br />And your eyes <br />Will bloom forth in roses of tears <br />Your lips <br />Will soften with dreamlike smiles.<br /><br />Naseer Ahmed Nasir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-for-aniqa/
