To a Disheartened Rose

Mujeeb Jaihoon laments the cruelty of the world towards the kind-hearted, while touting resilience against adversity.

When the Rose feels forlorn,
The Nightingale melts in pain.

You are a Rose,
Burning day and night;
Throughout summer and winter,
No end to your merciless plight.

Listen to this
Nightingale speak;
Sweet words flow,
From his beak.

Since times old,
This wicked world;
For the one with
The heart of Gold
Is worth no more
Than trash rolled.

Let your soul be the judge,
This is a sincere pledge.

Against the Devil’s games,
You should be cautious.
You will soon realize:
From Him comes the real bonus!
