Mom, If You Come and See

Mom, If You Come and See! ---------------------------------------- Mom, if you come and see-- We are together, but Dad....! Married some scary, quarrelsome woman --after you. And the cruel creature ,day in and day out -- sprinkled salt on the open wounds. He's sitting with her, there, (in harsh winters, flowery summers, and on Eid) Some 60 kilometres away, Have built a separate house. If you bring it all into God's notice ... At His nearby Heaven-house, And He allows you a day's leave ! And then, if you come and teach them a lesson About us-- your princely boys....! If you come and see...! Your chubby grandson is dusting, kissing and hugging your big photo In frame on the window shelf ; And calls you 'daadi'! -- Whenever we visit my reading room in the old house.
