A Man
A man would not have become a calamity for another man
If their habits were like those of trees
From the fruits of the branches you recognise a tree
While the character of a person reflects his true identity
Boarders would have been drawn in the skies above if birds also indulged in politics like humans
People call him insane, infidel and imposter the one who worships love
Man would not have denied the name of God, if people did not use his name for trade
