Waiting Poem by Prof Niamat Ali Murtazai

Stars wait for the sun to get tired,
And take back his shafts all around fired.
The sun waits for the morning star
To set aside his tiny car.
Spring waits for winter’s retreat,
Fast showers follow summer’s heat.
Youth waits for childhood to depart,
Old age gets jumbled with slow cart.
Preparations wait for exams’ date,
While exams wait for results’ fate.
Parents wait for children’s marriage
Marriage waits for babies’ carriage.
Life is a circle of waiting,
Whether with love or with hating.
