Look December <br />Don't ever come now! <br />Look, December <br />Deserts unnumbered have expanded in me. <br />All my rivers <br />Are silted with the sands of loneliness. <br />Now only I <br />And the weight of my loneliness <br />Remain together. <br /> <br />Look, December <br />In your frozen nights <br />In your sleepless nights <br />Who will knit dreamlike sweaters? <br />Who will pick snowflakes falling in the soul? <br /> <br />Look, December <br />Don't ever come now! <br />And even if you do come <br />Don't go to the abodes of the sun <br />Wearing the snows of your woes. <br />Don't ever go to my loved ones! <br /> <br />Look, December <br />Don't ever come now! <br /> <br />(Translated from the original Urdu into English by Dr. Satyapal Anand)<br /><br />Naseer Ahmed Nasir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-ever-come-o-december/
