Poem

A Life, A Journey

Syed Shamsul Haq (Translated by the poet himself)
He was buried with his
Bag slung from his shoulder.
To the hills he went from the plains, from the sea
He tracked back to the river's source, scouring
The earth. Now in his bones laps the sea
Now his skull fills with hills He is the river's murmur lying in the plains
A sun dips in the west
A sun rises in the east. Syed Shamsul Haq is a noted writer and poet.
