A little while ago I was among them <br />Smiling, talking and calling the life pleasure, <br />I remember a twinge of pain in my chest <br />And then it was dark all around, <br />I heard my loving ones crying and wailing, <br />People asked one another, 'What happened to him? How did he die? ' <br />Somebody replied, 'It was a heart attack.' <br />Somebody said, <br />'It was so sudden that we could do nothing.' <br />There was a lot of hustle and bustle around, <br />After sometimes I was given a warm bath <br />And they wrapped me in the shroud, <br />But I didn't feel any suffocation, <br />It reminded me of something <br />When I was alive, I couldn't sleep covering my face <br />for the fear of suffocation, <br />Now it could hurt me no more. <br />I felt I was being carried away on the steal, <br />People were enchanting sacred verses, <br />They buried me with heavy hearts <br />And returned their homes. <br />Suddenly I woke up by the gentle pat of my wife, <br />She was standing beside my bed saying, 'Wake up darling, the day has advanced.'<br /><br />Mohammad Akmal Nazir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-deadly-dream-2/
