THE WORLD I SEEK I CAN NOT FIND
A NEW EARTH, A NEW SKY I CANNOT FIND.
A NEW EARTH, A NEW SKY EVEN IF I FIND
NO TRACE OF A NEW MAN CAN I FIND.
I HAVE FOUND THE SWORD THAT WAS USED TO KILL ME
NO ONE'S FINGERPRINT ON IT CAN I FIND.
THAT IS MY VILLAGE, THOSE MY VILLAGE HEARTHS
LET ALONE THE EMBES, SMOKE I CANNOT FIND.
IT IS NOT A GREAT CALAMITY, IF GOD CAN NOT BE FOUND
A TRACE OF MY OWN FINGERPRINTS I CANNOT FIND.
FOR AN ETERNITY I HAVE STOOD HERE AMONG THE CROWD
NOT A TRACE OF YOUR FACE CAN I FIND.......
( A MASTERPIECE BY ' KAIFI AZMI' A RENOWNED POET TRANSLATED IN ENGLISH BY PAWAN K. VERMA)
