Still They Fly , Once Again

It suddenly turned dark , when came the clamoring clouds, They covered the land like , a corpse covered by a shroud! Gales extinguished the gleaming lamps of life of the trees, And threw them away , far away from their mother ground! Winds blew the thatch of the houses and huts far away, Forgive us ! Oh lord! said the dwellers , shouted they! Peeking out of window , like a shy girl, there she was, Playing hide and seek in the cloud ,the surly solar rays! Don't ask what happened to the singing bunting-birds, In the storm , like which I have never seen and never heard! Their nests , their eggs , in the world whatever they had, Fell on ground , into thousand pieces , totally shattered! They were the one who had lost homes and their everything, After some time of silence, flew up once again, once again singing! To make the best once again in the scary whirling storm, Flew away the male bird , the female one and the tiny fledgling! If there is hindrance in the way , jump to a new height! Courage is the only thing, which shines in the dark night! You ought to light the lamp yourself, if you are the one Who is alone! Who is too sad ! And is the one who lacks light!
