Dawn to dusk
Rukhsana shah 1951 (Pakistan)
Lo,its evening, the day has passed
Cows and goats back on their path
Birds singing and dancing going to nests
After all days flight they need rest
Whole day long eagles flew in the sky
To sleep in rocks ,they say goodbye
Sun constantly forwarding to the west
Sends a message to the world to rest
Darkness spreading after daylong light
Hopefully moon and stars shining bright
Human life is a symbol of all this state
Day is life and Death is night
Death is slumber deep for a time
Reward and punishment according to Rhymes
