the dearth of the able persons

the dearth of the able persons

if the reason for fame
is throne or heritage
sans mind and heart
then should they not
abdicate and
wander the desert
wish i could
tell this to the faces
of these caligulas

qehat ur rejaal

wajah e shuhrat
ger ho takht o taj
b'juz dil o dimagh
tou behtar hay
sehra-navardi
mushkil yeh hay
kaisay samjhaiN
in caligulaouN ko
