Analysis of Desire

Mubashair Naseer 2002 (Hattian Bala)



Beautiful as rose
Standing in delicate pose
Covered in light
And dark! the same time
Eyes like sapphires
But cold and mirthless,
Who are you oh! being divine?
Asked the Morpheus,
the being of dream,
I am the shaper of your realm,
I am the reason,
That your castle is standing,  
I take men to heaven or hell,
I decide fate of every living,
I am the Gem!
that everyone aspires,
I, oh Dream of endless! am Desire.
