The Dawn Of Youth Poem by Munia Khan

Allow me to hear

The ticking of watches

As of my heart


The watches of destiny

With the chains

Of our surmised lives


Need not to fear

The fatal silence

Of this youthful impulse


Allow me to pace

The steps of my own walk

To shorten the length of my dreams


The dreams of illusion

From the edge

Of an unknown reality


Need not to trace

The disinherited love

From the incurable past


For the time

Never imprecates

When the dawn of youth

Is the survival of vale of years.
