“Creator Of This Universe!”
Look at my face,
Today, on my lips, what a beautiful smile!
Today, in my eyes, what a sparkle!
Looking at my smile, what came to your mind?
In my brimming eyes, did you see anything?
About this beautiful moment,
You must have known!
And the magnificence of this occasion,
You must have believed in!
Yes!
You guessed right!
Yes!
Today, I have delivered a life!
Parveen Shakir (24 November 1952 - 26 December 1994)
