IMPEDIMENT TO SUCCESS

   Md. Abdul Mannan Yaqubi

Birds in trees and beasts in forest
          Awake always,
And the leaves of trees in the air
       Awake with dances.

Grass grows in the field and awakes
       With green colour.
The mountain like waves rise
       In the ocean with cheer.

The clouds awakes to float like rafts
        In the sky nicely,
And the sun in the morning peeps
       To rise smilingly.

The cuckoo in the spring appears
       With its sweet cooing,
And the pasture land on the shores
       Remains awaking.

And the moon with the stars appears
      In the sky after day,
And the world is punctually
      In an awaking play.

All awake in time and become  
      Successful ever,
But all of us try to get up
      Early never.

We see emptiness due to woke up
       Late from the sleep,
So, we can never enjoy a happy life
       Except weep.
