Poetry from Zahro Shamsiyya

MYSELF 

Never ask me, please, who am I myself 
Myself is a couple of verses on paper. 
My self will save myself, and I hope 
For those who left me it is bad news. 
Myself is different, differs from me, 
Far away from those who are so selfish, 
May myself is not visible for everyone, 
But myself will never abandon myself. 
One day I will go shaking my hand to all, 
From the arenas which disappointed me. 
I will tear the dress of arrogance myself 
Then I will throw it from mountain.
A moment, only a moment is enough 
When myself starts a rebel inside me. 
I do not wait for a clap from hands, 
For me being myself is the greatest honor. 
I am never afraid of foxes, no, no,
 Even any jury cannot threaten me. 
I am so proud of being myself, 
I am thankful of God for being me. 
Never ask me, please, who am I, 
Rather read my poems, read my verses. 

BEGINNING
 
One day I lose my life, it is clear 
One day I will return to the Creator. 
And all my collected pains and sorrows 
I will only retell to my only God. 
One day my body will disappear, 
Maybe I will be reborn as a basil. 
Being happy from my death 
One day my haters will have a party. 
Passing through alley with silence 
I hear all the gossips they tell. 
Now my poems will become orphan, 
Now I only live in my poems. 
But the world remains the same, 
Thousand years again it stays still. 
All the lies, all the fake faces, 
And ignorance in the gene. 
All the lips whisper one by one, 
Thanks God, I am far away. 
Blind souls never recover, 
I am not related to earth any more. 
The only thing tortures me is 
My days that I spent aimless. 
And incomplete writings of mine, 
My voice that paused on my throat as well. 
One day I lose my life, it is clear 
One day I will return to the Creator. 
Asking God to revive inside of me 
I will utter the name of my elder son.
