The chained figure,
in the shadow of night,
tracing the path,
to a barren soil. Imprisoned; with weighty shackles,
bound to his feet,
the chained figure,
follows the path.
Where to . . .
when shall he reach his destination?
anxiety has dawned on me,
as moon light sparkles,
in his tears.
Why . . .
what has he seen,

When the sun would lay naked, diffusing it's light, presenting the awaited dawn. Then, in my world of true colors, I shall hear Gibrael's call, as he would announce the victory of Justice.

Open your eyes; unto whom my love I confine;
exchange a glance with me; my strength & spine!
The oppressors rejoice, their trumpets they blow;
gleaming joy from their faces does show. Every arrow they struck you with;
every spear with which they hit.

my tears from the enemy how can I hide?
Your right arm symbolized a mighty shield;
your left arm depicted my Zainab's veil.
Scenting your withering ...
