Analysis of what is there for me

Nuzhat Usmani 1962 (Pakistan)



what is there for me..

when I see the lines in my hands I wonder
what is there for me what is my fate?
will I be able to get what I want
or should I raise my hands for the prayers?
will I be granted with what
I have deep down in my Heart
or there is only Darkness and no hope,
for me to live,or is there a Ray of light
a light far away twinkling and
giving me reasons not to loose
the threads of hope, of life--
Beneath that light I might tear off my ego,
and raise my hands for the prayer,
in which I will ask,
'Oh God grant me, only one wish
a wish that can be the reason for me to live ,
yes my love a wish, that is you....
to have you back in my life
Bless me God bless me,
with my Love..the only reason
I want's to live for.......
