Pashtoon And Arab Girls Poem by Afzal Shauq

Pashtoon girls
Like the snow
melt under the sun
Still sitting outside
each afternoon
growing older
remaining silent
never claimed.

While Arab girls
like flames of fire
well protected
burn their men
like the fires of the hell
tormenting them
offered for
and claimed
feeling free.
