Surayya Najeeb
Life descends to the world with extreme cries;
Like a statue undergoes chisel, hammer,
and ambient temperating,
Infancy and childhood are as innocent as an angel;
No malice, no hatred, no foe, and no ego.
Adolescence confers elegance, robustness, wisdom,
and a vision;
like a bud blooms into a gorgeous flower to mesmerize,
Youth brings challenges with the windows
of opportunities anew;
Confront all the obstacles and junctures valorously
with a beaming face.
Dotage showers infirmity, creases, passivity, and morbidity;
Like a towering sturdy age-old tree terrifies the high winds,
Accomplishments of life dwindle like
a tranquil dusky evening;
Demise snatches away each possession that
belongs to you Only.
Life awards woes, tears, intimidation, deprivation,
and discouragement;
But family, relatives, friends, prosperity,
cognizance, and achievements too.
So, learn to live before you lose life in the now only;
Savor this precious irretrievable life, relish,
adore, and content.
