CROWN OF THE UNIVERSE

Though we are nothing
But two buckets of water
And a handful of dust,
On the throne of the Earth
We are the crown
                 of the Universe.

We are happy that we had
The good fortune
Of coming to this world;
That is the reason why leaving it
Makes us so sad.

 

Mahmud Kianush
