O God! <br />I'm but a moment in your endless millennia <br />My life span is but a shred of your continuum <br />Since times immemorial <br />The blue sky signifies the holiness <br />Of your sleep <br />You sit in the very heart of the night <br />Illumining the eternity of stars <br />Sounds are but the seranata of your silences <br />You are the ocean of lyrics <br />Antidote to the grief stretched from end to end <br />But the fate of my earths is the gaol of space <br />Set them free, O Lord <br />Fill the darkness of stellar distances with light! <br />Make me limitless! <br /> <br /> <br />(1993, Translated by Dr. Satyapal Anand)<br /><br />Naseer Ahmed Nasir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prayer-in-space-gaols/
