Aftab Alam - Time: Thou Art A Scorpion!

Stung many a time to know
Whether I am alive or not.

Taken my childhood and youth
To weaken me, taken my beloved
Though I am weak yet I’m firm.
No storm can deter me, my path
I know the best, and thy wrath
I will change into a lovely flower
Alone I stood on the pyre of truth
Till the time I keepeth the soul
Ye can’t destroy my mind and thought

Aftab Alam
