I see a generation
I see a generation….
I see a generation
Along the roads, in the parks
On the roof, inside the mosque
In their personal rooms even in baths
I often see them alone and in band
Who speak and chat all the time
On their cell phones….
Infringing all the timetables
Of meals and studies
Away from the factual world
They have created their own paradise
Instead of grasping the beauties
Of surroundings, they listen the requiem
Ignoring the songs of other birds
They are feasting on apple tree
Having antidote in hands they are carefree
(Anjum Aziz Abbas)
