Analysis of Grave folk
Talha Ahsan 2002 (Okara)
Deep in the hollow ground,
All of us shall perish one day.
None can hear your helpless sound,
Such a dark and quiet it is, they say.
Can not mark the calendar for the impound,
Yet your last sunlight is on the way.
Prepare, not for the world to which you're bound,
But for the soil in which you're going to stay.
