    To: Daughter, Sheely
    by Sara Shagufta

      Whenever someone gives you a sorrow
      Name that sorrow, 'daughter',
      When my grey hairs appear
      Laughing around your cheeks, your can weep
      On the sorrow of my dream, you can sleep

      Those fields which are yet to grow
      In those fields
      I see your brassiere too.

      I was afraid
      But only the first time, daughter
      How many are the times I felt afraid daughter

      Trees hide the archers who lie in wait for you
      You were my birth, daughter
      And your birth, your daughter will be

      In the desire to bathe you
      My fingertips spit blood.
