A Dream I Have To Write

A dream
I have to write
On the wooden slate
Of a child
Playing traunt from the school.

A moon
I have to write
On the forehead
Of a woman
Swarthier than evetide darkness.

A song
I have to write
On the frozen lips
of the wind
Passing through
A bamboo forest.

A name
I have to write
On an unmarked
Grave stone
In a memorial cemetry.

(Translated from Urdu to English by Dr. Satyapal Anand and from English to Spanish by Dr. Teresinka Pereira)
