FACE

NAUSHABA KHAN 1954 (RYK)

Free verse
The beauty of the face
Lies in the eyes
The beauty of the soul
Lies in the insight
The inner eye that is hidden
Within the conscious
Somewhere in the heart
Has the spiritual power
And the divine force
That awakens life
Even in the dead heart
Depressed by the misfortunes
Of fate and self acts
Due to the wrong decisions
And unavoidable circumstances
The inner eye ignites the light of life
To relive the joys and beauties of life
