Can someone bring me my entire being? <br />My arms, my eyes, my face? <br /> <br />I am a river flowing into the wrong sea <br />If only someone could restore me to the desert <br /> <br />Life goes on but I want no more from it <br />Than my childhood, my firefly, my doll <br /> <br />My vision does not admit this new season <br />Take me back to my old dream <br /> <br />Of finding one face among the many in my city <br />Whose eyes can read deep into me <br /> <br />My life has been a boat in a whirlpool for so long <br />O god, please let it sink or drift back to the desert. <br /> <br />[Translated by Nukhbah Langah and Lavinia Greenlaw]<br /><br />Noshi Gilani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-someone-bring-me-my-entire-being/
