“Just Contemplating”
The truth of today’s purity
Will be marred by tomorrow’s dirt.
Just like other people, will you
Be scrutinizing it?
Very well! It’s your call!
But keep in mind:
Even the Sun was blamed
For embracing Night.
Parveen Shakir (24 November 1952 - 26 December 1994)
Translated from the Urdu by M.S. Alverston, 02/15/11.
