Your vision had the wings
The bird caught in the net
Of expediency
Universality of thought
Freedom and happiness for all
The verse you carried door to door
Divine word you chose
All the forces of nature
Encircled you
And you had the last step
To paradise
Dear poet
Reality had the harshness
Of hell
The path of roses
And studded with stars
The beautiful eyes of the beloved
Had much tears
Dear poet
Who makes the dreams come true
Dear poet of the fantasy land
Tell me
