When the sun shows off its yellow teeth <br />In my eyes full of sleep <br />I laugh <br />And tie up all my sufferings in a knot <br />To put them in my heart's almirah. <br /> <br />When darkness and silence together <br />Knock on my window <br />I laugh <br />And birds resting on my lips <br />Fly away. <br /> <br />When for the sake of a handful of water <br />Empty and hypocrite hands <br />Fill up with prayers <br />I laugh <br />And in the rain of my laughter <br />Dry lakes quench their thirst. <br /> <br />But when in my wisdom filled silence <br />She does not acknowledge my existence <br />I laugh <br />And laughing, I start crying......! <br /> <br />(Translated by Samina Amjad)<br /><br />Naseer Ahmed Nasir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-does-loneliness-weep-in-wisdomful-silence/
