Reflections of Mihrab Gul Afghan-11

The lamp that once lighted your nights Can again come to life and illumine your days.

The man lacking in spirit alone complains of the times, Fate’s lancet is an antidote for the free man.

That young man is not fit for life’s struggle Who is lulled to sleep by bird’s songs.

I am afraid of your childish nature; The sweet-sellers of Europe are too clever!
