Untitled

Suggestions for this poem are welcome..
And it's my first poem which is in more than one language..


Golden lights hold back the shadows
They flicker and become dim
And the darkness creeps closer
But you can still see the road ahead.

Una brisa repentina remolinos de polvo alrededor de su cara (A sudden breeze swirls dust around your face)
Aquí tiene, usted está de rodillas otra vez (Here you are, you're down on your knees again)
Tratando de encontrar aire para respirar otra vez (Trying to find air to breath again)
Usted quiere rendirse, pero, no can't todavía. (You want to surrender, but you can't-not yet.)

You stagger on through the night
And remember, how, years ago,
You stepped on the same stones you walk on now
How you were happy, now all your scars are open.

مٹی ہر ایک نشان کو کاٹتا ہے (The dust bites at every single scar)
زخموں کو درد جیسے آپ نے کبھی نہیں سوچا کہ وہ جائے گا (The wounds hurt like you never thought they would)
تم انہیں ٹھیک کرنے کے قابل نہیں ہو (You are unable to heal them)
تم ان کو چھوڑ دو (You let them be)

You ask yourself what kind of a world this is,
Where children in Afghanistan starve,
Where honest people are killed,
Where baby seals get skinned alive..

You're losing your faith
Turn to your right, and you shall see
The little girl crying at her parents' graves
No one to take care of her..

You're hoping against hope,
Turn to your left, and you shall see
Another pair of parents left at a rehab
Because their children stopped caring for them..

The wind kicks leaves into your face
They smell stale-of death
And weakness
Or maybe you're just smelling you..

You falter, and fall on your knees
To turn to your last defense
"Lord, I need you
Every hour, I need you.."



Sami Yusuf: Healing:
قلب بين يدي قلب و بيد الله كل قلب (Heart in the hands of the heart and every heart in God's hands)
عين ترعى عينا، وعين الله ترعى (Eye care in kind, and caring eye of God)
كلمة طيبة صدقة (A good word is charity)
تبسمك لأخيك صدقه (Smiling to your brother is charity)

كل معروف صدقة (All known charity)
اللهم اشف شفاءً لا يغادر سقماً (God heal healing does not leave any sickness)
