My Melancholy Thoughts

When the blazing fire in the sky;
Has sunk into the expanse of the Arabian,
When from the distant mosque;
A prayer is heard,
 

When the many hued evening heavens;
Are dotted with home bound sea-gulls,
When the musical sound of the waves;
Does form a symphony divine,
 

When lovely dusk does spread her veil;
When darkness triumphs with her conquest of light,
When the rising full moon bestows;
A smile so soothing and benign,
 

When nostalgic memories do flood my mind, then;
Then do I feel sad and ask myself,
Why should we be leaving all this behind...
Pass off into nothingness?

Dawn...!

 

Dew drops shine,
Pearl-like on the grass
A bird twitters,
The notes ring crystal clear !
 

A leaf quivers,
Perhaps with a dewy tear!
A lone sun ray peeps,
Shyly with a little fear !
 

Heralding the approaching dawn
All this beauty is to me very dear...
I gaze at the sky, now a master-piece
And whisper "Dawn is here"
