She Is Upset And Quite Poem by Abdul Sattar

She is upset and quite
She does not want to talk
And hides her eyes from being seen
The wet eyes with immense grief
Let the world be ignorant about her
It is not good to be exposed
What the people think?
She hides her feelings to be weak
So many problems she has
Her children uncertain of their future
Playing around her and making noise
But she does not bother by the wickedness
Of naughty child who wants her to be angry
She is quite, thinking in the air
What she wants to be here?
All the five children are at home
But one is far and she can not see
The half mind is half dark
What a misery that she can not bear
The emptiness of her motherhood
The pain that she can cure with tears
But the people will say that she is weak
She is not weak that much
But she cannot express the loneliness
All the children minus one
Half the heart uneasy
Half the life dark
Every mother should think about
Whole of the world minus one nation
Is just like the mother who has lost
Her child when she grew him.
