A Girl
By Amatullah Shabbir
Fantasies of a girl delicate and numb
Fooled easily she was that dumb
Brain that is keen ,eyes that dream
But actions does not stream
Healthy brows, curled lashes
Flabby cheeks ,ruby lips
Straight hair, lustorous and dense
Skin covered, life like a suspense
Her father told her to be educated as they are not Stand in your feet, then tie the knot
So that you’re not ashamed of anything u don’t own Instead you buy for those who need the loan
Agreeing to the words of her dad
Okay was the word she said
Rejuvenated she played the role
Inside she was like an empty bowl
Save every penny, the principle she laid Use every bit, the action that played
Craved every bite floating around her head Waited for her turn to be fed
The fourth child, with three elder sisters To her , they were almost like mothers
The pampering environment didn’t last long As they got married and went their homes
Now ,time for her to flew away
But she said she wants to stay
Nothing let her stayed abode
Time of her life to catch another road
The surprise is here my dear!
Not too long the baby is here
Juggling ,struggling ,weeping alone
Cooking ,cleaning ,balancing not to be known
Drenched in the questions taking away the peace Telling her not to cease
Reminiscing the freedom and the calm That is lost ,it is a big harm
Improve, grow and build
Get yourself fully skilled
Immense good still left to endure
Live for it because it’s the cure
However, she stood up and fell
But she denied to live in the hell
Pure speech ,confident eyes
Faith in the maker blew away the lies Swapped herself with a strong mind
Earned and learned to be kind
Now she finds the best even in the scrap Takes the good leaves the crap
All you wish all you want is your trade Get up ,peg away do not be afraid People are born to slander
You are born to work and serve the gender
Plead to God ,not the world
Heat your skin to unfold the knurls Keep track on the diet and fight
Weigh every word and balance the plight
