the happy blind

NafisaSB

Will you please explain to me What light Is –

about, the wonders that man sees which are all his

how does sight help you in your daily life

how live you in a world of confusion and strife?

 

You talk about the exciting things which you always see

About majestic mountains, and the roaring sea

You say the sun shines bright, but I can only feel that he is warm

I cannot see day or night, or even a rain or storm.

 

My day’s the time when I wake up and play

My night – the time, when I call it a day

But would it be really true to say

That if I keep awake for 24 hours, it will always be day?

 

you all sigh and grieve over the sight I have lost

you say it’s a hopeless war that much indeed has cost

but I’m  certain that patience will make me bear it with a smile

the loss that I can never know, and which you alone do style.

 

So do not harp upon the loss, and make me feel sad

Let not what’s a trifle, become a thing that is bad

Do not destroy the cheer the prevails in my mind

For I am a serene king, although I am blind.
