Blood-Soaked Sparrow Poem by Mohammad Younus

Blood-soaked Sparrow

Why is your head dropped down?
Why are you sitting mouth-shut?
Why don't you sing the mellow songs?
Why don't you play with little fairies?
She sobbed with pain, fear, and tear
And suddenly gave a shivering shriek
Spring of tears gushing her cheek
My colour dabbled sparrow is unable to fly
She doesn't chirp to tweet her friends
She is sitting muffled in her dark nest
Its walls are spattered with holy blood
Dejected from life, she broods her loss
Because pellets have pierced her Hourie- eyes
My blood-soaked sparrow can't see now
Her world has disappeared in long dark night
How can her eyes twinkle with mirth
What for should I sing my lullaby to her
