Cacophony of blaring horns
Gives way to birds’ chirpings
A new day’s arrived –
The day’s newness cleanses the night darkness
Just like rays of hope illuminate
Faces shrouded with waking nightmares.
Lifestyles have changed long since
We sleep late, also wake up late –
Health, wealth and wisdom are kindred spirits
Wise are those who wrap healthily, wealthy imprints –
By so doing, men feel that they’ve ensured their places near Heaven’s gate.
Night bulbs were shining brightly to my right
I knew not when sleep overcame my eyesight,
In the world of dreams, I met my gallant knight
I let my thoughts roam on chords of a kite.
Dawn brought me to complete wakefulness
The wakeup birdcalls removed all sleepiness
Rubbing my eyes, I welcomed the day’s happiness
I and my kin are alive – that alone is God’s kindness.
