Poem::::. ALMAJIRI

 ALMAJIRI

Born and bred with penury

Clothed in pain to wander in poverty

Kissed by sun all around in hunt

Hunted,hot but never get hurt

Parented by pigeon and snakes of hunger 

Surrounded by sad and unending tales

Walked with a companion that never depart

In the rain, sun, night well scorched 

A plate to eat neglecting diet

A place to lead forgetting dialect

A cloth to wear for hundred of years

Compounded in tears and sadness

Married to the Holy hunger many neglect

Shall we tell of our suffering all days?

Will you listen with pleasing ear?

Doctor treats wound not pain

Surgeon treats heart not emotion

We lament for much beautiful of life 

Accredited with bandit of fate

Your flowry wealth is worthless without helping others. 

If you know the pain they go through; you will pray for them to sail through
