Passage Of Life Poem by Prof Niamat Ali Murtazai

In the long passage of his life
Man needs friends and a dear wife.
He performs activities diverse
Prose sometimes he reads sometimes verse.
Passes through rain, gale, storm or flood
Loses soul sometimes, sometimes blood.
Smooth, soft, velvet grass under feet
He feels sometimes thorns, stone and heat.
Blissful heaven smiles, springs dance
Earth induces him to advance.
But stare sometimes the sun, moon or stars
Friends turn foes on all sides wars, wars.
Days are murky, nights are jerky
Gloomy look all passions perky.
Leaves leave the tree, birds change the nest
Pleasant haunts become haunted pest.
Lost thoughts find no recess for rest
Company loses friends who're the best.
Live lively as long as life allows
Bent towards death are seen all bows.
