Qurrathul Ain

PAST

Past for many,

Passes them by,

Like a river,

Every water they touch,

Is different at different times,

They don\'t dwell on what has passed.

 

Or, like a fast-moving conveyance,

They don\'t look back,

Faces facing forward,

Eager to know what is ahead.

 

While my past comes back to me,

Like the ripples of the ocean,

Even when I try to push them away,

Like the rocks on the shore,

Leaving froths around.

 

So, I willingly walk forward,

And fall into the sea,

Letting myself get carried away by the waves.

 

Always facing backward,

In the fast-moving life,

Feels good to travel in the opposite direction,

Confusing left and right, forward and reverse,

Like life itself.
