Please bring a token home from each journey <br />Along with your worn-out feet, bring butterfly wings <br /> <br />I am writing the story of our companionship <br />If you can, please bring a noble word <br /> <br />I hope fidelity will not exhaust us <br />That we can renew this romance <br /> <br />That if in some enchanted place, you are captured <br />by a moonlit face, you will carve a likeness, bring it home <br /> <br />Your passion for travel takes you away from home <br />Please do not bring back regret like dust in your pockets <br /> <br />It is strange air that we all breathe <br />May your eyes fill when you come home <br /> <br />[Translated by Nukhbah Langah and Lavinia Greenlaw]<br /><br />Noshi Gilani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-bring-a-token-home-from-each-journey/
