The Heart Doesn'T Commend Poem by Muhammad Shanazar

The explosives that snatched
Innocent laughter in an instant
From the frolic children,
Laughing and making acts of mischief
And running after one another
Whether the hands of those who blew out
Lamps have cuddled the laughing kids,
Against their chests, and whether they
While caressing their foreheads prayed
To God for their life and good fortune,
The heart does not commend.
