Let my wailing reach the dust of her grave

Majestic: I do not think it’s a good choice for this poem was written in the memory of his deceased mother. It’s about 9 and a quarter pages long in Baang-e-Dara. I have it but can’t type that all..

Besides, as I said it’s not something to give to an alive person; for example the lines you wrote are translated as:

Kiss ko abb ho gaa watan maiN aah! meraa intezaar?
Kaun meraa khat naa aanaY saY rahaY gaa bay Qaraar?
Khaak-e-Marqad par teri lay kar yeh faryaad aaooN gaa
Abb duaa-e-Neem shub maiN kiss ko maiN yaad aaooN gaa?

Thanks, you know what I just found out that it is 9 pages long. And maybe I just got the two confused, he had another poem on MOTHERS, and that is the one I wanted. I guess I got them to mixed up. Thanks again
