Do you know? <br />The wind, too, can change direction <br />The birds might leave their nests at dawn <br />And forget to find their way back <br />Sometimes in spring the tree branches out <br />Before autumn the leaves separate <br />Like the paths my life takes <br />Blown this way and that like dust <br />The strange smile taking shape on your lips <br />Says 'So, what's new?' <br />Of everything in the story, you are new <br />Do you know? <br />But how could you know this? <br />Your encampment of love and faith <br />Could blow away like dust <br />The wind, too, can change direction. <br /> <br />[Translated by Nukhbah Langah and Lavinia Greenlaw]<br /><br />Noshi Gilani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wind-too-can-change-direction/
