Analysis of Flowers Of Patience
Never be surprised
If I express the truth
That I am a rich man because of my fate
Never perceive the conclusion that
My richness means having money
No; indeed, it is not
How then am I rich?
I explain how
I am rich in this sense
My bowl of the heart is full of pain that
The people of the world put in it
In the journey of my life
Wherever I went and stayed
It is such a treasure
Which no one can steal
Since the heartbeats are its guard
Whereas, I am stingy too
I never give to others, even a little of it
I only take,
People throw that simply in my heart-bowl
I do trade with God from this treasure
I load it in my boat of eyes and that
Travels upon my cheeks
In a row, as like crystal pearls of rain
That fall on the soft soil for cultivation
It is the fastest farming
As a result,
I reap flowers of Patience
And patience is a Divine award and reward
To deserve for heaven
It is God's promise
And God never breaks its promise.
