Man and Nature

I saw the shining sun in the morning
I asked The Earth,
You are glowing with sun's light,
Water in your rivers is transparent Silver,
Moon lights you up at times,
and you party in its light.
Flowers and Gardens are glimpses of Heaven,
And they all are explaining sura "As Shams"
Flowers are dressed in red, trees in green
At your party, some fairies are red, some green
At the horizon, reddish clouds,
Give your roof a golden cover,
These clouds soothe my eyes,
As if wine is poured in the beauty of evening
You are respected and glorious
Light covers everything you have,
I am also living in this land of lights,
But why has my star of destiny been burnt?

Why am I so away from light, and am entangled in dark?
Why am I so unlucky, sinful and ashamed?

While I was asking this, i heard a voice,
It came from the sky, or from within the earth,
"It is your light, that lits me up and makes me shine,
Oh gardener, the garden of existance is because of you,
You are all in all beauty, and i'm your picture,
You are a page of adoration, and i just explain you,
You set my matters right,
And you picked up the weight, which i couldn't,
My expression needs moonlight,
And you are shining without any,
Absence of sun will make me a dark place,
And i'll be named a prison instead,
Oh you! who can't understand this open secret,
Oh you! who is caught in the web of "wishes",
Pity, that your eyes can't see the reality,
You should have been proud of yourself, but instead you're ashamed.
If you are aware of your reality and role,
You'd neither be unlucky, nor a sinner.
