The New Beginning, a poem by Mubarak Said
The New Beginning
Is when the sun rises from east
At early hours of the day,
Wiping away persistent nighty mist.
Is when the time passes by
By tickling of a clock, seconds counting,
- to minutes and minutes to hours.
Is when the hustling men
Amidst the scorching sun,
Wallowing to catch up their successes.
Is when the promising crescent
Answers the celestial call,
To render its services.
Is when the we maneuver
Into the step of progress,
After being swimming in the pool of hard work.
