Defeat and Victory Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Awais Aftab, Pakistan Mar 28, 2004
Environment   Poetry

  

All is not lost, O son of sea!
A little defeat doesn't harm a victory.
Defeat is a part of life, you know.
A component of the enigma, the mystery.

Beyond understanding of humanity,
Combined with dimensions of versatility,
Strange are the ways of the God,
Outside the grasp of mortality.

The Divine will smiles,
When the victor always dials,
The number of pride and arrogance,
For how success beguiles!

A test it is for mortal beings,
For Sultans great and mighty Kings,
No more no less would you find,
Even on the history's wings.

Writer Profile
Awais Aftab


Writing has been a passion, a love ever since I learned to write. For me, writing is a means of expression of 'secret tears and secret pleasures'. True writing comes from the heart and often it is the one to find you, not you the one to find it. Writing gives me power, the strength to carry on, the will to live and to live in a better way. It helps me find deeper meaning in the world around me and to understand myself much better. I can't survive without writing. For me, my writings are the whispers of life, in which the glory and sorrow of life echoes. For me, these are the glittering tears, whose every flash encompasses a thousand aspects of life. I believe that, 'I write; therefore I am.' However, true ease in writing comes from art, and I still have to learn a lot about that.
