Curtain Hides
Labeeqa Baneen 2003 (Okara, Pakistan)
Behind the veil of curtain's guise,
A world of wonder and surprise,
What secrets do you seek to hide?
What treasures lay on the other side?
Does a magical realm await,
Where fairies dance and wizards create,
Or is it simply a humble room,
Where solitude replaces the gloom?
The curtain's purpose is to conceal,
To offer a respite, a moment to heal,
But as it shrouds the world from view,
It beckons curiosity anew.
Oh, curtain, what secrets do you hold,
What tales do you have yet to unfold,
We'll never know until you part,
And reveal what lies within your heart.
