A Candidate for Father

You are young, and you want to marry

Give it a rest to breeding

Ask yourself what you whether you deserve or not

To demand a child

 

You used to think that you are shrewd

You thought your short foolishness was love

You found a maid like an angel, and you got married

In fact, you became the servant of that woman

 

Most of the time, love is a passionate imitation

 

As you become a painful fire and drinking

The goblets of love full of heartaches

They should give torch-like light

Illuminating the road taken by love

 

Have you built yourself

As you have been longing for a child?

Can you stand tall?

Can your heart stand tall?

 

With the consent of the Creator

With the words of the Prophet

Have you found in earnest

The love you have looked for?

 

Ask yourself one more time

Are you ready?

To build a child so supreme

Above your existence…
