The Summer Sun Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Leave me alone, you are hot and sweating,
When we need your fire in shivering winter,
You come too late and not hot at all,
Even if I close my eye lids, you peep into eyes,
And the pain you give, obstructs my travelling,
On the Milky Way, and the stars
Those are shy to the sun and veil their faces,
Moon even if appears, no moonlight!
And the buds of the queen of night,
Go behind the curtains of leaves,
The night glowworms, lose their twinkling,
And my beloved pulls up her silken blanket,
That covers the charms of a sleeping woman,
Oh Sun! I know you are crazy in love,
And your beloved is a sunflower,
He needs you, I too need you,
But in winters not in summers,
You come right time in the cold winters,
What happens to you in the mornings of summer?
Don’t you sleep in the pleasant summer nights!
She is with me and my nights are pleasant,
Keep the sunny days for the foolish sunflower.
