Woman

1

How many dreams does a prostitute have?

How many sleepless nights does a poet have?

Who cries within the core of the heart?

Neither of them knows the true answer of the other.

Therefore, the poet goes to the side of the prostitute

And openly reveals the purity of the heart...

Both of them cry throughout the night,

The poet returns on the same path.

2

Today, a woman was sitting in despair.

I asked, \"Why are you so downcast?\"

She said,

\"My favorite poet has not been coming this way for two days.\"

I asked, \"What kind of relationship do you have with him?

How long have you known him?\"

She said,

\"It\'s a relationship of sorrow

And a mistake of youth.

Hence, today the woman is despondent,

And she becomes a poet,

Perhaps the poet of sadness.\"
