Longing

I longed for studying,
I thought cotton was a game
I Said, “Come in a week”
Father, I missed you.

I want to eat your baked bread,
I want to see your fair face
Your daughter appreciated you.
Mother I missed you.

My stomach doesnʼt get full from macaroni,
I donʼt want to eat bitter soup
Nights donʼt suit me,
Mother, I missed you.

I brought your photo
I bought your promise,
I even saw it in My dreams
I loved My beloved, I missed you.

The watermelon sellers donʼt sell watermelons
The weighers donʼt add kilos
Those at home donʼt get the news.
Classmates, I missed you.
