Cozy Corners Poem by Prof Niamat Ali Murtazai

Life runs through seas, deserts and high spaces
So many times it wins and loses races.
World is vast; nothing is last; death is fast
Days fly, months glide, years slide, present is past.
Peaks peep into caves but find darkness
Smiling silently at the helplessness
Of the high winds and spaces boundless
Because corners are better than limitlessness.
Life never allows us to breathe a long time
Because it is to keep in mind its short rhyme.
A corner is vast like a continent
The world is full of things irrelevant.
Paths are there to pass through a desert
Otherwise desert becomes a quagmire alert.
Hearts' vehicles must be run by thoughts wise
World is vast but you must be concise.
Dear, live in peace in cozy corners
Of all fields, you cannot be the journeyers.
