Dawn to dusk

Rukhsana shah 1951 (Pakistan)



Lo,its evening, the day has passed
Cows and goats back on their path
Birds singing and dancing going to nests
After  all days flight they need rest
Whole day long eagles flew in the sky
To sleep in rocks ,they say goodbye
Sun constantly forwarding to the west
Sends a message to the world to rest
Darkness spreading  after  daylong light
Hopefully  moon and stars  shining bright
Human life is a symbol of all this state
Day is life and Death is  night
Death is  slumber deep for a time
Reward and punishment according to Rhymes
